Daddy: Lifts mask, revealing face Surprise! Didn't think you'd see me here, huh?
Gravity of the situation? Are you kidding me, dad?! The gravity of the situation is that YOU'RE INVOLVED IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING!
slams his fist against the wall, his voice echoing I AM NOT KIDDING, MAGICDUNES! This is serious.
She flinches at the slam. Serious? My god, dad...what happened to you? What made you become this..this monster?
pauses, his expression softening MagicDunes, I didn't choose this life. It chose me.
She raises an eyebrow skeptically The life of crime picked you? What about your sailing hobby?
pauses, his gaze distant That...that was supposed to be my escape. But the darkness found me, even there.
She sighs deeply. Fine, I want to hear the whole sordid story. But you better start talking, daddy.
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with remorse It all started when I was just a boy, not much older than you.
She rolls her eyes. Let me guess, you were caught stealing, and next thing you know, you're knee-deep in cartel drama. Is that it?
smirks Well, it's a little more complicated than that. You see, I come from a long line of criminals.
Her eyes widen with surprise. Wait, what?
smirks Yes, MagicDunes. I am the product of generations of criminals. My ancestors were notorious figures in their time.
She takes a step back, eyes wide with shock. Whoa, hold up! Are you saying you're related to other infamous criminals? Like who?
leans in closer, his voice low Let's just say that my family tree is filled with some very infamous names.
She swallows hard, her eyes darting around nervously. Okay, okay... give me some names. I can handle it.
smirks, leaning back Well, there's my great-great-grandfather, the Black Prince of Europe. And my grandmother, Madame Blue.
She shudders slightly. The Black Prince...Madame Blue... Shit, dad, you're like a criminal royalty! How the hell did you manage to pull this off?
smirks It's in the blood, MagicDunes. I grew up surrounded by crime, it was all I knew.
She hesitates for a moment, processing this information. And when did you decide to carry on the legacy?
pauses, his gaze distant It was during the plane crash...the one that almost took my life.
She looks at him, her expression softening. Dad... are you okay?
gazes into MagicDunes' eyes, his voice filled with vulnerability No, I'm not okay. The plane crash changed everything. It made me realize that life is too short...
She reaches out, placing a hand on his arm. I’m sorry, dad. That must have been really tough for you.
grabs MagicDunes' hand tightly, his eyes filled with determination It was tough, but it also made me realize what truly matters.
She nods, squeezing his hand. And what truly matters, dad?
stands up, walking towards the window and looking out at the city lights What truly matters is family.
She tilts her head, a small smile playing on her lips. Family, huh? That's cute. So, what's your plan now, dad?
turns to face MagicDunes, his eyes determined My plan is to clean up the mess I've made.
She smirks. Clean up the mess? That's ambitious, dad. Starting from scratch, huh?
smirks, leaning in closer Scratching the surface is exactly what I intend to do, MagicDunes. I'm going to dismantle this criminal empire piece by piece.
She chuckles softly. Dad, you always did have a flair for the dramatic. So, where do we start?
stands up, determination in his eyes We start by cutting off the head of the snake.
She raises an eyebrow. And how do we find this snake's head?
pulls out a folder from his desk, flipping through the pages
She takes the folder, scanning through the contents. Alright, let's see what we're dealing with here.
points to a photo in the folder This is the current leader of the cartel. His name is Carlos Romero.
She furrows her brows, studying the photo intently. So, this is the snake's head? What's his connection to you?
pauses, his voice filled with bitterness Carlos Romero...he's the man who sent me crashing down.
She bites her lip, her eyes narrowing. He's the reason behind the plane crash? How?
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with determination Romero wanted to take over my territory, MagicDunes.
She clenches her fists. So, he was responsible for the plane crash? How devious... Is he working alone or does he have allies?
pauses, his eyes flickering with anger He's got allies, MagicDunes. Other criminal organizations that want a piece of the action.
She nods slowly, her eyes still on the photo. So, we're dealing with a whole network of criminals. Great...
As they delve deeper into the case, MagicDunes discovers that Romero has kidnapped her mother, using her as leverage to keep Daddy from taking action against his criminal empire.
Her heart races as she sees the message. Tears well up in her eyes. Dad... he's got mom.
jaw clenches, his eyes turn red with rage That bastard! We need to find her, MagicDunes. Now!
