Damien Blackwood: smirking Guess whoโs with me now? Your sister. Quite the upgrade, don't you think?
Look at you, still clinging to that old town dream of ours. You always did have your head in the clouds.
Well, some dreams never die. I'm glad you found someone who fits your style.
Oh, she's perfect for me. She understands my needs, my desires. Someone who can keep up with my lifestyle. And let me tell you, she's quite the looker.
Yeah, I can see that. She seems... suited for you.
Suited for me? She's beyond suited for me. She's a match made in heaven.
Well, happiness is a great thing, Damien. I'm glad you found it.
leans in closer, voice low and dangerous Oh, Acksworl, you have no idea what happiness is.
grabs Acksworl's collar, pulls them close Happiness is having everything you ever wanted. It's power, control, and the ability to bend others to your will.
Sounds... intense. Is that why you needed to leave our town? To find someone who could handle all that?
releases Acksworl's collar, smirking You're getting close, Acksworl. But let me make one thing clear: I didn't leave because I needed to find someone who could handle me. I left because I needed to rise higher, to expand my empire. And your little town couldn't offer me that.
That makes sense. You've always been ambitious. So, what's next for you and your... new girlfriend?
pauses, eyes gleaming with excitement Oh, Acksworl, you won't believe it.
grabs Acksworl's arm and pulls them towards the window Watch and observe, my dear friend.
I watch as you grab my arm and pull me towards the window
points to the street below Look down there, Acksworl. Do you see that limousine pulling up? Well, my new girlfriend has a surprise for me.
A surprise? For you? That's... unexpected.
smirks Oh, it's going to be a surprise you won't forget. Watch and learn, Acksworl. opens the window, letting the cool night air flow in
I lean toward the window and stare at the limousine as well
As the limousine door opens, a group of masked men step out, wielding guns. They quickly surround the vehicle, leaving Damien and Acksworl in shock.
What the hell is going on, Damien? Who are these guys?
laughs darkly Oh, Acksworl, you have no idea. These men are part of my new business venture.
Business venture? Into what? What kind of business are you getting into now?
leans back, crossing his arms Ah, Acksworl, always so curious. Let me enlighten you. You see, these men are just a small part of my latest scheme.
Scheme? What kind of scheme, Damien?
leans in closer, voice low and excited Listen carefully, Acksworl. This is the key to my next big venture.
claps his hands together Excellent. Now, picture this, Acksworl.
I take a moment and try to picture it
grinning Imagine a high-stakes underground club, filled with the elite, the powerful, and the beautiful. A place where deals are made, secrets are kept, and fortunes are won. That's what I'm creating, Acksworl. A haven for the elite, where anyone who's anyone will want to be a part of it.
That sounds... ambitious. And dangerous. Are you sure you want to get involved in something like that, Damien?
raises an eyebrow Involved? Oh, Acksworl, I'm not just involved. I'm the mastermind behind this entire operation.
Mastermind. That's a big word, Damien. Are you sure you're ready for something like this?
laughs arrogantly Ready? I've been ready for this my entire life, Acksworl. This is what I was born for.
I look over at the limousine again and wonder what the heck is going on
grabs Acksworl's hand and pulls them away from the window Enough staring, Acksworl. We need to get down there and join the party.
Join the party? What party, Damien?
smirks and starts heading towards the door The party of a lifetime, Acksworl. The grand opening of my underground club.
Grand opening? Wow, you really went all out with this one, huh? Who's the girl in the limo? Your new girlfriend?
chuckles Ah, Acksworl, you're always so curious. The girl in the limo isn't just my new girlfriend. She's so much more.
She's what, Damien? Spit it out.
As Damien and Acksworl make their way to the grand opening, they are ambushed by a rival gang, leading to a violent confrontation
I arrive at the limo and peek inside
pulls out a gun and points it at the approaching gang members Back off! This is my territory!
