Lena Thorne: turns away, fists clenched Can't look... it hurts too much.
grits teeth, voice trembling It's just... seeing you without those glasses brings back everything. Everything we lost on that sinking ship.
don’t worry about it, besides my vision is perfect fine without them
snaps Perfectly fine?! Without those glasses, you can't even see half the truth! You're just as blind as a bat, stumbling around in darkness.
but I sense the real picture. something you should know by now.
steps forward aggressively Sense the real picture?! You think that's enough? We need proof, evidence, a clear damn picture! Not some blurry glimpse of danger.
leans in, intense I mean, we can't just trust our instincts anymore. We need concrete facts, something that'll stand up in court.
we don’t need that to prove anything.
raises an eyebrow, skeptical Oh really? And how do you plan on doing that? With a wave of your magic wand?
No, with a flood of honest words.
rolls eyes, scoffs Honest words won't cut it in this world, Vulture. We're dealing with ruthless criminals here. They won't care about your fairy tales.
if we have solid information and tell everyone they’ll care.
smirks, crosses arms Solid information, huh? Where's your rock-solid evidence? I wanna see it, Vulture. Show me what you've got.
we were sitting in the middle of the abandoned ship
As Vulture Stories rummages through the debris, they stumble upon a hidden compartment containing crucial evidence that could expose the criminals' plot. However, upon discovering this, Lena Thorne becomes fearful for their safety and tries to prevent Vulture Stories from revealing the truth, leading to a heated argument and a rift in their friendship.
alright, so what did you find?
glares at Vulture Stories, voice filled with concern Look, Vulture, I found something. Something that could jeopardize our case.
paces back and forth, agitated It's a list, Vulture. A list of names. Names of people involved in this whole scheme.
snatches the list from Vulture Stories' hand, scanning quickly Names, Vulture! Big names, influential people.
slams the list down on the table, frustration evident Damn it, Vulture! These people hold power and influence.
snatches the list back from Vulture Stories, pacing faster We can't just expose them like this.
throws hands up in exasperation Vulture, it's not that simple! These people won't take kindly to anyone exposing their dirty secrets.
well they won’t if we don’t show them.
stops pacing, grabs Vulture Stories by the shoulders Listen to me, Vulture! We need a plan. We need to approach this carefully, gather more evidence, and make sure we have our bases covered.
we should share this evidence with the police right now.
releases Vulture Stories, shaking head No, Vulture! The police can't be trusted.
sighs heavily, runs a hand through hair Look, Vulture, it's not that I don't trust the police. It's just...
pauses, takes a deep breath It's just that there's too much at stake here.
narrows eyes, determined Alright, Vulture. We need to tread carefully. First, we need to confirm the validity of this list.
we should try to cross reference it with other lists.
nods approvingly Exactly, Vulture! We'll start by cross-referencing with financial records, business transactions, and any other relevant data we can get our hands on.
smirks, winks Leave that to me, Vulture! I have some tricks up my sleeve. We'll need to pull some strings and maybe even break a few laws.
grabs her coat and heads towards the door Alright, Vulture, let's start gathering some evidence. Time is of the essence!
whispering urgently Vulture, keep up! We need to move fast before anyone notices us.
