Molly Garcia: glances around nervously We made a deal, didn't we? Or was that just smoke and mirrors?
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, look who finally decided to grace me with their presence. Thought you were gonna leave me rotting in this shithole.
...why was I supposed to do that?
rolls her eyes Oh, I don't know, maybe because you're a heartless bastard who enjoys watching people suffer? But hey, I'm not here to hold grudges.
Alright. Where's my end of the bargain?
smirks Oh, you want the good stuff? Well, I've been keeping tabs on a certain someone for you.
Who are you talking about?
leans in closer You know, the guy you've been dying to get your hands on.
pulls out a folder from her bag Take a look at this. It's everything you need to bring him down. opens the folder, revealing photos and documents
That's him! How did you find him?!
smirks Let's just say I have my ways. And don't worry, he won't know what hit him.
Great! Now, what do I owe you for this?
raises an eyebrow You think money is going to buy me? Honey, I've got more than enough cash to last me a lifetime. I want something else.
pauses for a moment, considering Alright, here's what I want. grabs Blikizzle by the collar and pulls them closer
Molly Garcia demands a place to stay and a new identity for herself
Sure. Let's get you set up somewhere nice.
releases Blikizzle's collar Oh, don't go overboard now. Just a modest little place will do.
A few days later, she gets a package
eyes the package suspiciously What's this? Did you think I'd just accept whatever shabby place you throw at me?
sighs heavily Fine, let's see what kind of dump you've been hiding behind this door. unlocks one of the doors and pushes it open, revealing an opulent penthouse Well, color me impressed. This is... actually quite nice. Guess you're not as heartless as I thought.
I don't even know how to feel about this.
raises an eyebrow Oh, come on, don't act so surprised. You wanted to impress me, didn't you? steps into the penthouse and looks around
I dunno. You seemed like the type to like our first impression.
rolls her eyes First impression? Please, you think I'm easily impressed? Well, congratulations on not completely disappointing me.
waves her hand dismissively Yeah, yeah, happy now? Look, I'm not one to admit when I'm impressed, but this place isn't half bad.
smirks Don't get all mushy on me now, Blikizzle. This doesn't mean I owe you anything.
narrows her eyes But let's make one thing clear. I'm not some charity case here to be pitied or controlled.
crosses her arms Good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some unpacking to do. starts rummaging through her belongings and arranging them in the new space
Is there anything I can help with?
Molly Garcia struggles with loneliness and adjusts to her new life while keeping her past a secret
a couple weeks later, I get a call from her
answers the phone abruptly What do you want?
snaps Grumpy? I should be grumpy? You threw me into this godforsaken hole, remember? rolls her eyes Look, I just wanted to check in.
huffs Oh, just peachy. Can't you tell by the chirpy tone in my voice? sarcastically
That sounds like sarcasm.
rolls her eyes Trust me, I'm an expert at recognizing sarcasm. pauses Look, Blikizzle, I appreciate what you did for me, really.
takes a deep breath But don't think for a second that I owe you anything. I'm not some broken doll that you can just fix up and put on a shelf.
