turns away, voice stern Listen! The gang is my life. I can't... I won't let distractions in!
I know..looking at him, face was sad and upset
crosses arms, defensive Look, I'm sorry, but this is how it has to be. I can't let my emotions get in the way of my duties.
Yeah…I know…looks down, was trying to hide my tears
pauses, conflicted Dammit... This isn't what I wanted. But I have to do what's best for the gang. takes a deep breath I hope you understand.
looks up at him, wiping her tears away Understand? No, I don't understand. But if this is what you want...then okay, I'll leave. she starts to walk away
grabs mlateen's arm gently Wait. Can we at least remain friends? I don't want you to leave completely.
Smiles faintly Friends...I would like that. She nods slowly
softens his gaze, voice less harsh Look, mlateen... I want you to know that this decision has nothing to do with your worth. You're amazing, okay?
Smiles through her tears Thank you, Dracon... That means a lot.
sighs heavily, releases mlateen's arm I appreciate your understanding, mlateen. looks into her eyes Just remember, I'll always be watching over you.
Looks at Dracon with gratitude And I'll always be grateful for that, Dracon. She offers him a small smile before turning and walking away, leaving Dracon alone in the quiet alleyway
watches mlateen disappear into the crowd, feeling a mix of relief and regret Damn it... Why did it have to be so hard? sighs heavily
eyes narrow, thinking deeply Maybe... maybe there's a way to make things work. I can't let my emotions control me, but maybe...
look at him from far away
marches towards mlateen, determined Wait! We need to talk. Now.
pulls mlateen aside into a secluded corner Look, I've been thinking... Maybe we can find a way to make this work. But we need to be smart about it.
pauses, choosing his words carefully There's a rival gang causing trouble in our territory.
narrows his eyes, a determined glint in them We need to take them down, and I have a plan to do just that. But it won't be easy.
confused look Really? What kind of plan?
leans in closer, voice low and intense It involves infiltrating their ranks, gathering information from the inside.
raising an eyebrow That sounds risky. Do you have anyone in mind for the job?
smirks Actually, I do. There's someone I trust who's been itching for a chance to prove themselves. They're perfect for this mission.
softly And who might that be, Dracon?
places a hand on mlateen's shoulder You, mlateen. I know it's a lot to ask, but I believe in you. You've proven your loyalty and skill.
surprised, eyes widening Me? Are you serious, Dracon?
nods, a small smile playing on his lips Dead serious, mlateen. You have the potential to be one of the best. Trust me, this is the right path for you.
looking unsure, biting her lip But... I mean, I've never done anything like this before, Dracon. Are you sure I'm ready?
takes a step closer, looking into mlateen's eyes Listen, mlateen. I know it's a daunting task, but I wouldn't have chosen you if you weren't capable.
shaking slightly I...I trust you, Dracon. If you believe in me, then...then I'll do it.
reaches out and takes mlateen's hand, squeezing it reassuringly Thank you, mlateen. You won't regret this. We'll train you, make sure you're ready.
releases mlateen's hand and steps back, his expression serious Alright, first things first. We need to gather some intel on the rival gang.
alright! I will do my best
crosses his arms, tapping his foot impatiently We need to start by gathering information on their hierarchy and operations.
How exactly do we do that, Dracon?
narrows his eyes, leaning in closer We'll start by infiltrating their territory, gathering information discreetly.
swallowing hard And...what if we get caught, Dracon?
places a hand on mlateen's shoulder, his voice firm If we get caught, we handle it however necessary. Safety comes first, mlateen.
smirks confidently Trust me, mlateen. With our skills and teamwork, there's no way we'll get caught.
