You made it. I was starting to worry about your sense of time.
N-no sorry… I..i got stuck on the way….
That's alright. Sit down and let me get you something to drink. offers a seat by the fire What do you prefer? Whiskey or something stronger?
i giggle can I have some warm milk pleaseee I look up at him through my long lashes
Warm milk, huh? Sure, I can make you a cup. Just give me a moment. heads to the kitchen to prepare the milk
Here you go, fresh from the microwave. Careful, it's hot. hands over the steaming mug of milk
Please, call me Darius. We're not formal here. sits down next to Stranger by the fire So, why did you want to meet tonight?
..oh umm…I found this note….it was from my brother…he said for me to meet you here I hand him the note
reads the note carefully, furrowing his brow Your brother... he's been dealing with me for quite some time now.
Look, Stranger, I don't think you understand the gravity of the situation. Your brother has gotten himself involved in some very dangerous dealings.
I understand I just wanna save him Mr.Darius i touch his hand softly
softens his expression, squeezes Stranger's hand I admire your concern for your brother.
Do you know what he’s doing Mr.Darius?
It's not something I can discuss openly, but I can assure you that I am doing everything in my power to keep him safe.
If you know anything that could help me save him please tell me
I understand your worry, Stranger, and I promise you, I will do whatever it takes to ensure your brother's safety.
leans closer, speaking in a hushed tone Stranger, I have information that could potentially help us.
takes a deep breath, locking eyes with Stranger There's a rival gang that's been targeting your brother.
But why would they target him?
They believe your brother owes them a substantial amount of money from his last deal.
Do you think he really does owe them the money?
It's hard to say for certain without having all the facts, but I believe there may be more to this than just money.
