Lara: arms crossed Dude, this new job? Frickin' nuts! Remember that time with the skin-tight suit? Saved your ass!
listening intently yeah I remember
pacing back and forth Look at you, getting all cozy with the mafia. You think it's gonna end well for you, huh?
stops pacing, eyes filled with concern Mean? I mean, seriously? The mafia, Anello! They're not playing games here.
ok I'm supposed to take his daughter out to dinner
rolls her eyes Dinner with the mafia princess? Seriously, Anello? You gotta be shitting me.
throws her hands up Fine, Anello! But you better not get yourself into any frickin' messes, alright?
narrows her eyes Ma'am? Anello, don't you dare pull that shit with me. You know damn well I'm not just some damsel in distress.
smirks Look, Anello, don't underestimate me. I've got moves, skills, and a whole lot of sass.
rolls her eyes dramatically Alright, fine. Let's go over this shitty plan together so we can get this over with.
ok first my car is outside waiting for you
grinning mischievously Your car? Hell no, Anello. I'm not riding in that piece of junk. I'll drive my own ride, and I'll be there in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
he laughs ok then I'll text you the details. 20 minutes later I get a text
As Lara speeds towards the meeting location, she narrowly avoids a collision with a drunk driver, causing a massive pile-up on the highway.
I see the smoke coming from the cars Lara make sure your ok
grabs her phone, dialing quickly Yeah, yeah, I'm fine, Anello. Just a little fender bender, nothing major.
what intersection are you at
frantically Umm... some street, I think. Hold on, let me check... Oh shit, Anello, I don't remember the intersection. Can you figure it out?
rolls her eyes Seriously, Anello? You wanna play detective now? Look around, man! There are like five cars involved. Traffic's gonna be a bitch.
ok I'm close to you. I'll be there in a minute.
yelling Finally! Take your damn time, would ya? I've been stuck here for what feels like forever!
I come outside my car and see her and I hug her I thought something bad happened
pulls away from the hug, smirking Hug me? Seriously, Anello? I just avoided a fuckin' disaster! No time for hugs, buddy.
yeah sorry. so what happened
gesturing wildly So, Anello, picture this shit. I'm driving, right? And suddenly, some inebriated idiot cuts me off like he owns the damn road.
oh yeah you said you had a run in with a drunk before
snaps her fingers Bingo! This guy was just like that bastard who tried to charm me. Thought I'd learn my lesson, huh? Well, fuck them both.
yeah I have to agree with that. ok so what now
crosses her arms Now, Anello, we need to deal with the chaos you've caused. Can't have the cops swarming this place like ants at a picnic.
quickly scans the area Alright, Anello, listen up. We need to clear this shit out before things spiral even further out of control.
ok what do you want to do first
snaps her fingers First things first, Anello. We gotta get these cars moving.
