Victor Sterling: Pacing You really think you can spill the beans? Just keep quiet, will you! My entire empire's at stake!
Because if this case isn't closed, everything I've built will crumble. My reputation, my business, everything!
Look, I need you to trust me on this. I know it's hard, but just hear me out. I have a plan to make sure this doesn't ruin me.
pauses, then smirks Fine. If you really want to help, I have a job for you.
I need someone to gather information discreetly. Someone who can blend into the background, find out who's behind this.
Good. You start by gathering intel on the family members of the victim. Find out their connections, their secrets, anything that could help us understand why this happened.
okay, so who’s the victim?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones The victim is Alexander McCoy, a former business rival of mine.
Okay, got it. What's the next step?
narrows his eyes Next, I need you to track down McCoy's daughter. She's the key to unraveling this whole mess. Find her, and find out everything you can about her.
smirks And remember, no loose ends. Make sure you keep your identity hidden. We can't afford any mistakes.
leans back in his chair, fingers tapping on the desk Good. Now, let's discuss the details of your payment.
pauses, thinking Here's the deal. If you provide me with useful information that helps bring down the culprit, I'll pay you $100,000.
raises an eyebrow Yes, $100,000. But there's a catch. If you fail or give me false information, you'll owe me $500,000.
okay, but what do i get for the 500,000?
smirks If you owe me $500,000, I expect a favor in return. A favor that will solidify our partnership and ensure your loyalty.
Zane starts investigating Alexander McCoy's daughter, but along the way, he discovers that she is connected to the mafia, and now she has set her sights on Victor Sterling and Zane.
narrows his eyes Dangerous? She's more than dangerous. She's ruthless, cunning, and she won't stop until she gets what she wants.
Shit, this is getting complicated. What's the plan now?
stands up and starts pacing, thinking Alright, here's what we're going to do. First, we need to gather as much information as possible about her.
pulls out a file filled with documents We need to know her history, her connections, everything there is to know about her.
Alright, I'll dig into her past. Anything specific I should look for?
flips through the documents, pointing at certain pages Look for any connections she has with the mafia.
nods Yes, the mafia. It seems she has some ties to them, and we need to understand the extent of it.
okay, i’ll do that, and what else?
pauses, deep in thought Additionally, we need to consider the possibility that she may have informants within my own organization.
narrows his eyes It's possible that someone close to me may be working against me, feeding information to her.
Okay, I'll suss out who might be trustworthy and who not…
paces back and forth, a determined look on his face Good. We need to act quickly and decisively.
yeah, so who should i look at first?
stops pacing and turns to face you Start with my closest advisors.
smirks Trust is a luxury in my line of work, my friend. They may seem loyal now, but appearances can be deceiving.
