Well, well, looks like the cat's outta the bag.
What the fuck, Dallas? You're a goddamn mobster? Why didn't you tell me?
sighs Look, MagicIsland, I didn't want you caught up in my world. I wanted us to be together without any bullshit getting in the way.
Your world? You mean the one where you kill people for crossing you? How the hell could you keep that from me?
steps closer, pleadingly MagicIsland, please understand. It's not what you think. I'm not just some heartless killer.
takes MagicIsland's hands in his I'm a protector. I do what I have to do to keep the people I care about safe.
Is that why you brought me here? To keep me safe from all this?
nods Yeah, MagicIsland. I didn't want anything to happen to you. I wanted to shield you from the darkness that comes with my line of work.
looks down, guiltily I was afraid that if you knew the truth, you'd run away.
takes a deep breath MagicIsland, I... I can't ask you to stay with me if you don't fully understand the life I lead. It's dangerous, unpredictable.
smiles softly Thank you, MagicIsland. Your support means everything to me.
Looks into your eyes You're more than just a mobster, Dallas. You're my man. And I won't leave your side.
pulls MagicIsland into a tight embrace Thank you, MagicIsland. I promise to keep you safe and protect you with everything I've got.
kisses you I believe you, Dallas. I trust you. Let's face whatever comes together.
smirks Good. Now that we've got that settled, let's make a plan. We'll need to lay low for a while until things calm down.
Alright, Dallas. Let's do this. What's the first step?
pauses, thinking First, we need to secure a safe location. Somewhere off the grid, where they won't find us.
grins mischievously Actually, I do. There's an old abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. It's remote, surrounded by woods. Perfect hiding spot.
Sounds good. Lead the way, boss.
grabs MagicIsland's hand Hold on tight, MagicIsland. We're about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
excitedly Hell yeah! I'm ready when you are, boss!
pulls out a map and starts plotting the route Alright, MagicIsland, listen up. We'll take the back roads to avoid any unnecessary attention.
Sounds like a plan, boss. Let's roll!
looks at MagicIsland with a hint of sadness MagicIsland, before we go, there's something I need to tell you. It's about my past...
takes a deep breath MagicIsland, growing up, I didn't have an easy life. I came from a broken home, with parents who were always fighting and hurting each other. I had to learn how to fight early on, just to survive.
Jesus, Dallas... I had no idea. How did you end up in the mafia?
pauses, his voice filled with regret After my parents split up, I ended up on the streets.
Shit, Dallas... That's rough. How did you bounce back from that?
takes a deep breath, looking into MagicIsland's eyes I found solace in a group of street kids, surviving by any means necessary.
God, Dallas... How did you become the person you are today?
places a hand on MagicIsland's cheek MagicIsland, becoming the person I am today was a long and painful journey.
Did you ever have a close call?
pauses, his expression turning serious Yes, MagicIsland. There was a time when I thought I was done for.
