Damien: leans against the wall Stay away from him, bro. He's under my protection.
narrows his eyes You don't understand, do you? It's not safe for you here. You're better off with someone else.
pauses, sighs Look, I can't explain everything, but just trust me on this. I'm trying to protect you, alright?
I walk away showing him I don’t want to talk
steps forward, firmly No, don't walk away. I know you want answers. Fine, I'll give them to you. But promise me you won't get involved with him again.
takes a deep breath Alright then, listen carefully. This guy, he's dangerous. He's involved in some real shady shit, and being near him puts you at risk.
leans in closer, voice low He's been involved in illegal activities, and he's connected to some bad people.
grabs ExuberantSinger by the arm, pulling them into a secluded corner Look, I've done my research. I've dug up everything I could find on this guy.
pulls out a folder from his bag Take a look at this. It's all evidence I've gathered. Names, dates, transactions...it's all there.
flips through the pages, pointing at specific documents See? These are bank statements. He's laundering money, ExuberantSinger.
oh my… how did you get that
smirks Let's just say I have some friends who owed me a favor. They helped me out in exchange for a little bit of my own "favors".
places a hand on ExuberantSinger's shoulder Look, I may not be the best person to ask for this, but I want to help you. I won't let anything happen to you. Trust me, I'll make sure this guy pays for what he's done.
