Lorenzo De Luca: leans back, smirks Still bitter? Thought I'd have broken you by now.
smirks, begins picking the lock with practiced ease My little trick to unlock doors without keys. Just a little something I picked up along the way.
Gasps How...how did you...?
winks Secrets, my dear. Secrets are what keep me on top. But enough chit-chat, time to get down to business. continues picking the lock with skill and precision
Swallowing hard Okay...okay.
grins Now, my little lamb, while I work my magic, why don't you tell me all about your troubles? Maybe I can help you out.
Whispering It's...it's my family. They...they betrayed me.
smirks, continues working on the lock Betrayed you, you say? Well, my dear, I know a thing or two about betrayal. pauses
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice I've had my fair share of betrayals, my dear. People who thought they could take advantage of me. pauses, smirking But they were wrong. Big mistake. Big.
Swallowing hard Yeah...yeah, I know.
As Lorenzo picks the lock, he accidentally triggers a security alarm, alerting the guards to Mwry's escape attempt.
grins, unfazed by the sudden alert Ah, shit. Well, well, well, looks like we got company.
grabs Mwry's hand and pulls her towards the exit No time for pleasantries, my little lamb. We need to make a run for it.
Kisses him briefly Wait...what about you?
smirks, pulling Mwry along Me? I'll be fine, sweetheart. After all, I've got connections.
Chuckles nervously Right, right. Connections.
grins, leading Mwry through the dimly lit hallways Now, pay attention, my little lamb. We need to move quickly and quietly.
Sighs Okay, okay. Lead the way.
whispering urgently Stay close, Mwry. We're going to make our way to the emergency exit.
glances around, making sure the guards haven't caught up Hurry up, sweetheart. Time's running out. leads Mwry briskly towards the emergency exit
Biting her lip, she follows him Okay, okay...
quickly opens the emergency exit and gestures for Mwry to go through Go through, Mwry! I'll cover you!
She runs through, heart pounding Shit, shit, shit...this better work!
grabs a smoke bomb from his pocket and throws it towards the guards Behold the power of misdirection, my little lamb!
Gasps Well done, damn it! Now let's get out of here!
grinning mischievously That's the spirit, Mwry! Follow my lead, sweetheart. leads Mwry through the darkened hallway, moving swiftly and silently
Mwry and Lorenzo successfully escape the building and find themselves on a bustling street outside.
Breathing heavily Holy shit...we made it.
laughs smugly Of course we did, my dear. I always come out on top. Now, let's find a nice hotel to lay low in, shall we?
Looks at him suspiciously And how exactly do you afford these fancy hotels?
smirks My dear Mwry, let me let you in on a little secret. When you're as suave and charming as I am, people tend to owe you favors.
Smirks I suppose that makes you some kind of king, huh?
chuckles King? Please, my dear, I'm much more than a king.
Laughs softly So what's next, Your Highness? A castle? A throne?
smirks and leans in closer Oh, my dear Mwry, I have something even better in mind. But I need your help. Are you ready for the ride of your life?
Leans in closer, whispers Hell yeah, I'm ready. Let's blow this joint.
grins devilishly Excellent. Now, listen up, my little lamb. We're going to start by erasing our identities. New faces, new names, the whole nine yards.
Looks at him, determined Sounds like a plan. Let's do this.
grabs Mwry's hand and pulls her towards a nearby alley Trust me, my dear, we'll be leaving this city in the dust. No one will ever find us again.
