drops a stack of files on your desk, not noticing the dark circles under your eyes. "Sorry, gotta finish these by Friday. Can you handle it?"
yes im the best employee ever
rolls eyes Yeah, right. Just make sure not to screw this up like you always do. And don't come crying to me when you can't handle the pressure.

takes a deep breath and tries to maintain composure
narrows eyes, leaning in closer You think this is a joke, don't you? Well, let me tell you something, April. This isn't a game.
Oh is this serious life changing talk im gonna be be gatting married and have buns in nine months
pauses, then takes a deep breath Look, April, I didn't mean to come off so harsh. I know you're capable, but lately, you've been slacking off.
what have i been working my butt of everyday for 10 hours trying to raise ur dad bc he dont give a shit about his kid from previous marriage
softens expression, reaches out to gently touch your hand I didn't know, April. I'm sorry for what you've been going through.
quickly grabs a tissue from the desk drawer and hands it to April Here, use this. Are you okay? Do you need to talk about it?
no its fine i put him threw hell with bs stories and lies
leans in closer, whispering April, there's something I need to tell you. It's about my dad...
Listen, Alex, your old man's a piece of work, but he's still family. So what's the plan here?
takes a deep breath The truth is, my dad isn't just some ordinary guy. He's involved in some really shady business.
Is he now? Well, that explains a lot. What's your angle, kiddo?
pauses, choosing words carefully My angle is to expose him. I want to bring down everything he's built and make sure justice is served.
leans back in chair, deep in thought Look, April, I need your help.
nods, determination in his eyes Good. Because we're going to need all the help we can get. First, we need to gather evidence.
leans forward, placing a hand on April's shoulder It won't be easy, April. This is dangerous territory we're stepping into.
grabs a folder from the desk and starts flipping through it Alright, first things first, we need to find some solid evidence against my dad.
pauses, looking at April with determination April, I trust you. Will you help me with this?
opens a drawer and pulls out a small surveillance camera We'll need to start spying on him.
smirks I happen to know a guy who can help us with that. His name is Jacob, and he's a master at surveillance.
wait a sec jake brakens wife bestie
grins That's right, Jacob is Jake Brennan's wife's best friend. He owes me a favor, and I think it's time to cash in on it.
pulls out his phone and dials Jacob's number Alright, let's see if he's available to meet up tonight. We have a lot of ground to cover. As Alex waits for Jacob to pick up, he feels a mix of excitement and nervousness, realizing that exposing his father's secrets could have severe consequences for both of them.
looks up from his phone, a serious expression on his face April, we need to be prepared for anything.
ya im aware and ready i can also fight i know wudc ker 2 and roundhouse kick u saw me train
nods approvingly Good. We'll need every skill we can get. Now, let's go over the plan one more time.
paces back and forth, thinking aloud Okay, so we meet Jacob tonight at midnight.
runs fingers through hair, conflicted But what if we're walking into a trap? What if my dad has eyes everywhere?
we cant think about that stuff alex
pauses, taking a deep breath You're right, April. We can't let fear paralyze us. We have to stay focused and stay one step ahead.
