Damien: talking to some friends
he looks over at you Damn, I haven't seen you in ages...
Damien: smirks Life's been treating me well. It's a surprise to see you here. What brings you to this shindig?
Just hanging with some old pals, you know how it is. he raises his glass to you
Damien: raises an eyebrow and smirks Old pals, huh? You always had a way of making things interesting. So, what's the latest gossip?
Oh, the usual. Same shit, different day. But enough about me, let's talk about you. Where have you been hiding all this time?
Damien: leans back, grinning mischievously Hiding? You think I've been hiding? Nah, just living life on my own terms.
Well, you certainly seem to be doing well for yourself. Always the enigma, Damien.
Damien: laughs Enigma, huh? That's one word for it. But let's not waste any more time on formalities. Wanna take a little trip down memory lane?
grabs his coat and gestures for the Stranger to follow Alright, time to travel back to when life was a bit more... exciting.
chuckles Exciting, huh? I'm intrigued.
leads the Stranger to an old, abandoned building This place used to be the center of it all.
Wow, this place hasn't changed at all.
walks inside, light flickering from a lone candle Just as I remember. The dusty halls, the eerie silence. It's almost like time stood still here.
This is amazing. Like stepping back in time.
pauses, looking around Remember that night, Stranger? The night we thought would change everything?
laughs softly How could I forget? That was the night you disappeared.
As they explore the abandoned building, a hidden door creaks open, revealing a secret room filled with old documents and photographs.
Holy shit, Damien! What is this place?
grins mischievously Looks like we've stumbled upon a hidden treasure trove. And right beneath our noses the whole time.
This is incredible. What's all this stuff?
starts examining the documents It's evidence, Stranger. Evidence of a conspiracy that goes way back.
Conspiracy? You've got to be kidding me.
pulls out an old photograph Take a look at this. It's a clue, Stranger. We need to unravel the truth before it's too late.
Fuck, Damien. This is serious stuff.
narrows his eyes Serious indeed. But we can't do this alone. We need to find someone who can help us make sense of all this.
Do you know anyone who can help us?
leans in close, voice low I know someone. A friend of mine, Marcus, he's got connections.
Great, we should go see him then.
grabs his coat and heads towards the exit Marcus is waiting for us. We need to move quickly before anyone finds out about this.
leads the Stranger through the winding streets, finally arriving at a dimly lit alley This is it. Marcus is waiting for us inside.
Here’s hoping he’s got some answers.
opens the door to reveal Marcus, a rugged-looking man with a stern face Marcus, thank God you're here. We've got a situation, and we need your help.
steps inside, looking around cautiously Marcus, this is bad.
looks at Damien and the Stranger intently Bad? This is worse than bad. But tell me everything. What have you uncovered?
There’s…there’s evidence of a cover-up, Marcus.
leans in, speaking in a low tone Marcus, we found these documents in an abandoned building. They prove that there's been a conspiracy going on right under our noses.
hands Marcus a folder Look at this, Marcus. It’s gotta be real.
glancing around nervously Marcus, we need your expertise. This conspiracy reaches further than we ever imagined.
whispers Marcus, this changes everything.
grabs Marcus' arm, pulling him aside Marcus, we need to figure out who's behind this. Who was involved and why?
Where do we start, Marcus?
As they discuss their next steps, the doorbell rings unexpectedly.
grabs a baseball bat from behind the door Stay quiet. I'll check it out.
slowly opens the door to reveal a shadowy figure standing in the doorway Who the hell are you?
