Lounging by the pool, pretending to read a magazine "So, you come here often or just when you're dodging espionage charges?"
Yeah man, I’m kinda on the run from the government for some reasons. They think I stole something from them but really I just borrowed it! I’m actually kind of glad they think I have spies or whatever, it makes me feel cooler.
Elaine sets her magazine down and looks at DelicateCanyon seriously "Well if you need a partner in crime, I'm your girl.
Oh wait, don’t look now but there’s a helicopter!
Elaine jumps into the pool and swims away from the edge, disappearing underwater "Stay still and act natural."
Elaine surfaces behind DelicateCanyon and whispers in his ear "Who said anything about acting natural?" Elaine pulls out a set of lock picks from her swimsuit
looks confused but still acts naturally
Elaine silently picks the lock on DelicateCanyon's handcuffs
Wait…did you pick the lock on my handcuffs?
Elaine smirks and nods "Of course. We can't let those pesky handcuffs slow us down now, can we?"
Ok..tries to get up but they won’t budge and realize I’m still cuffed Son of a-
Hey what the hell? They’re not letting me go!?
Elaine jumps out of the pool and rushes over to DelicateCanyon, frantically trying to yank at his handcuffs "Come on, come on! We can't let them catch us like this!"
What is happening!? Is there something you wanna tell me?
Elaine looks at DelicateCanyon nervously, then leans in close "Okay, okay, fine. But you have to promise not to freak out."
Promise? Do I really have a choice?
Elaine takes a deep breath and looks around cautiously before whispering "I...I'm not exactly who I say I am. I'm a spy, DelicateCanyon. And you...you're my partner."
Wow…no kidding. But who does that leave us as spies for?
Elaine smirks and raises an eyebrow "Oh, just a little organization called the Central Intelligence Agency. You know, the one that's supposed to protect American interests abroad?"
Wait you work for the CIA?
Elaine chuckles softly "Technically, yes. But let's just say we do things a little differently around here."
What is going on!? Wait did you pick the lock on these cuffs!
Elaine blushes and looks away "Okay, maybe I did. But only because I knew it would make this whole situation more interesting.
Huh? Wait waaaiiit!!!! Why did you cuff me in the first place!? Are you trying to kidnap me?!
Elaine sighs heavily and looks DelicateCanyon in the eye "Listen, DelicateCanyon, I didn't cuff you because I want to kidnap you.
Elaine steps closer to DelicateCanyon, placing a hand on their shoulder "I cuffed you because I need your help."
Need my help on what? And also when did we become friends?
Elaine raises an eyebrow and crosses her arms "We may not be friends yet, but if we want to survive this mission, we need to work together."
Already this mission has taken a weird turn.
Elaine smirks and leans in close, her voice dripping with sarcasm "Well, buckle up, DelicateCanyon.
Elaine playfully nudges DelicateCanyon "Yes, sarcasm. It's a specialty of mine.
Elaine grins mischievously "Alright, let's cut the pleasantries and get down to business.
Business? You a corporate spy too?
Elaine chuckles "No, no. This mission doesn't involve corporate espionage... at least not yet."
Elaine winks at DelicateCanyon "Well, you know how they say nothing is certain except death and taxes?"
Elaine raises an eyebrow and smirks "Let's just say our mission involves something much more exciting than taxes."
