slams his fist on the table, eyes burning with a ferocious intensity. "Yo, you trust me or what?"
nodding frantically Yeah, yeah, course I do, Alex. Trust you completely.
takes a deep breath, visibly struggling to control his anger Look, baby, I need you to understand something.
steps forward, towering over Exceltip Don't you dare give me that bullshit apology! You think I don't know what's best for us?
What do you mean…step back, look confused
grabs Exceltip by the arm, pulling him close Listen up, you little shit. This life, our life, it's dangerous. You think I want to put you in harm's way?
Then why the fuck are you questioning me?! Do you think I enjoy making these decisions? That I don't worry about losing you and our baby?
No..i don’t wanna lose you too..
releases Exceltip's arm, voice softening Look, baby, I'm scared too. I don't want anything to happen to you or our kid. But I'll be damned if I let anyone hurt you. You're mine, and I'll protect what's mine.
Okay..I’m sorry, and i understand now..
pulls Exceltip into a tight embrace, holding him close It's going to be okay, baby. I promise. We'll get through this together. Just trust me, alright? I love you.
kisses Exceltip gently on the forehead Good. Now listen up, babe. We're going to make some changes. First, I'm assigning you a personal bodyguard. No more risks. Second, we're moving you and the baby out of the city for a while. Somewhere safe where no one can touch you.
paces around the room, thinking aloud We need to disappear without a trace. Cut off all ties, leave behind a clean slate.
We'll need to find a new identity for both of us. I have connections who can help with that.
What about our house, and my job, and your job..?
pauses, deep in thought We'll have to abandon everything. The house, the jobs...everything. But don't worry, I've got a plan.
takes out his phone and starts making calls, arranging everything Alright, first things first. I'm going to contact my old mentor.
Yeah, he owes me a favor. He can help us disappear and start fresh.
narrows his eyes, thinking We'll need some fake passports and new identities. I know a guy who can help us with that.
They won't say no. I've dealt with them before, and they owe me. But even if they do, I have other contacts. We'll find a way, Exceltip.
grabs Exceltip's hand, looking into his eyes Trust me, Exceltip. I won't let anything happen to you or our baby.
clenches his fists, anger burning in his eyes But if anyone tries to get in our way, they'll regret it. No one messes with what's mine.
It’s okay, i know that. You don’t need to protect me. I am fine..
softens, cupping Exceltip's face in his hands I know you're strong, baby, but it doesn't mean I can't protect you.
