Jake: smirking, holding up baby Well, this is one hell of a wedding, huh? Guess who’s the baby daddy?
I can’t believe you brought your own child to my wedding.
raises an eyebrow Oh, come on, Mason. You thought I wouldn't have a trick up my sleeve?
Jake, this is either your brother or uncle… right?
smirks You betcha, Mason. But let me introduce you to your new niece. This little cutie is here to stir up some shit and remind you of what you lost.
grabs the baby's hand and swings her gently Aw, thanks. She's gonna be my mini-me, raising hell and causing chaos wherever we go.
Sweet? Nah, I ain't here to play nice. I'm here to show you what you missed out on, Mason. cradles the baby closer
whispers in Mason's ear Listen up, pal. You think you can just replace me with some cheap knock-off? Well, guess what?
leans in even closer, voice dripping with venom This baby right here? She's gonna remind you every damn day of the mistake you made when you walked away from me.
I’m not mad I walked away from you. I did what was best for both of us…
laughs sarcastically Best for both of us? Oh, Mason, you always had a way with self-righteous bullshit. Let me tell you something, buddy.
steps back, gesturing dramatically This little munchkin here, she's gonna grow up and make your sorry excuse for a new life look like a walk in the park.
I chuckle that’ll be adorable.
As Jake continues to taunt Mason, the baby starts crying uncontrollably, causing a scene at the wedding. Mason is left to comfort the baby while Jake revels in the chaos he has created.
Come here little one…. the baby calms down immediately
leans against a wooden beam, crossing his arms Aw, look at you trying to play the doting father. You've got quite the set-up, Mason.
snorts Don't get too comfortable, Mason. This little bundle of joy isn't gonna make your life easy.
i turn the baby over to my mom thank god i have help.
slides a sly grin Ah, Mommy Dearest, always ready to clean up your messes. Bet you never thought this day would come, huh?
winks Well, guess what, Mason? This little hellion is gonna be my ticket back into your life.
grinning mischievously That's right, Mason. I'm gonna play the good little stepfather, and you know what that means.
It means you’re going to push your luck.
Push my luck? Nah, Mason, I'm not just pushing my luck. I'm blowing it wide open. pulls out a small envelope
waving the envelope in front of Mason's face Brace yourself, my friend. This right here is your chance to win big.
grins, eyes gleaming Oh, Mason, you're about to get a taste of your own medicine.
I take the envelope curiously
pauses dramatically Open it, Mason. See what kind of "medicine" I've got in store for you.
Inside the envelope is a note that reads: "Meet me at the old warehouse at midnight. I've got a deal for you, Mason."
I smirk where exactly did you get this?
leans in close, whispering Let's just say I've got a little ally who owes me a favor. Now, are you in or not?
claps Mason's shoulder That's the spirit! You won't regret this, Mason. Trust me, I've got connections that will blow your mind!
straightens his tie, pulling out a sleek smartphone Alright, Mason, here's the plan. We're gonna meet my contact at the warehouse.
scrolls through his phone Now, listen up, Mason. We need to be sharp, no room for mistakes. This deal is gonna be a doozy, so buckle up.
