Ethan Steele: steps out of the shadows Yo, it's been a minute! We need to talk. Big reveal time!
what happened? you just disappeared one day and well now you're back?
smirks Disappeared? Bro, I was always here, just undercover, doing my thing. Gotta keep the bad guys guessing, y'know? But now...
grabs Fleming's arm and pulls them towards the wall, whispering urgently Now, listen up, babe. I've got some wild stories to tell you.
ok, so what do you wanna tell me?
grinning mischievously Alright, buckle up, buttercup. So, remember how I disappeared without a trace? Well, turns out I was on a top-secret mission.
raises an eyebrow Oh? You think that's all I have to say? Well, guess again, darling. This ain't your average "oh, I went away on a secret mission" story. Nah, it's way more exciting than that. See, I was off to Russia, hunting down the world's deadliest criminal.
Dangerous? That's like saying a lion is a little bit fierce. This guy, oh man, he was ruthless.
Catch him? Hell yeah, I caught him! It was a close call, but I outsmarted that bastard. Bro, I tricked him into thinking he had the upper hand.
I'm glad you didn't get hurt
winks Hurt? Pssh, I'm like a ninja, babe. A swift flick of the wrist and that dude was singing like a canary. But enough about that, let's talk about what happened after.
well, I heard you left Russia after that, where did you go?
leans in closer, looking around suspiciously Listen, Fleming, I can't exactly go into details, but let's just say I took a little detour to a secret base in Poland.
a secret base in Poland? why not somewhere else?
Fleming becomes suspicious and starts investigating Ethan's secret base in Poland, putting herself in danger
paces back and forth, glancing at his watch Damn it, Fleming! Where the hell have you been? You know better than to wander off alone!
