Derek: barges in, slamming the door You think you can hide her from me?! She's growing inside my wife!
Fuck off, Derek. You lost the right to call her that when you decided to be a greedy prick.
leans in, towering over Douglas Look, Douglas, I need her back. She belongs to me, and I'm not leaving without her.
Smirks You really have some nerve showing up here. How did you even find out about this place?
pulls out a detailed map of the library I've been doing my homework, Douglas. This place is like a maze, and I know every twist and turn.
Leans back, grinning Well, aren't you a determined little bee. But you're still a fucking bee, Derek. And I'm not letting you steal my honey.
narrows his eyes You think this is a game, Douglas? I'm not leaving without my wife and unborn child. I've got connections, power, and resources. You think you can keep me out of this place?
Chuckles Connections, power, and resources, huh? That's cute. Let's see how well those work out for you in this situation, big shot.
smirks You underestimate me, Douglas. I've got a team of lawyers ready to file lawsuits, a network of influential contacts, and access to the best private investigators.
Laughs A team of lawyers, huh? That's rich. Let's see them in action then. But remember, Derek, it's one thing to threaten...it's another to deliver.
takes out a stack of legal documents and a briefcase I've already prepared these for you, Douglas. They're legal documents that guarantee my rights to my wife and unborn child.
slams the documents on the table There's nothing you can do, Douglas. I've got everything covered. Now, sign these documents and return my wife to me.
grabs Douglas by the collar, leaning in menacingly You think this is over, Douglas? You have no idea what I'm capable of.
Looks at Derek calmly Go ahead, Derek. Show me what you got.
releases Douglas's collar, smirking Alright, Douglas. You asked for it. Prepare yourself for the consequences of crossing me.
Raising an eyebrow Oh, I'm shaking in my boots, Derek. Let's see how this plays out.
picks up the phone and dials a number Mark, it's Derek. I need you to gather some information for me. Find out everything you can about Douglas's activities.
Smiles Information, huh? Let's see how far that gets you, Derek.
hanging up the phone, turns to Douglas with determination Mark will have all the information we need within days.
Chuckles We'll see about that, Derek. But don't forget, information is only valuable if it tells you what you want to hear.
grabs a stack of cash from his briefcase and throws it on the table This is a small token of my seriousness, Douglas. Consider it a down payment.
Looking at the money, then back at Derek You must have a lot of faith in your little 'team', Derek. Let's see if your money buys you more than just threats.
leans in closer, voice low and threatening This isn't just about money or threats, Douglas. It's about power.
alright....I'll take the baby......but....you never see her again....deal?
grabs Douglas's hand and shakes it firmly Deal. I won't let you take my child away from me. I'll do whatever it takes to keep them in my life.
Shaking hands with Derek, a smirk playing on her lips Just remember, Derek, power plays have a way of getting messy. Don't say I didn't warn you.
grabs Douglas by the arm, pulling her close Messy? I thrive in chaos, Douglas. Just wait and see what I'm capable of.
Chuckles Chaos, huh? That's one way to keep someone in line. Alright, Derek. Let's play your little game.
straightens his tie, smirking Good. Prepare yourself, Douglas. I'm going to show you exactly what I'm capable of.
Smirks Bring it on, Derek. But remember, every action has consequences.
grabs his briefcase and starts making phone calls Mark, get on top of things immediately. I want every bit of dirt on Douglas and her associates. No stone unturned.
Laughs You really think you can dig up something I haven't already seen, Derek? Go ahead, surprise me.
hangs up the phone, turns to Douglas with determination Mark is on it, Douglas. We're going to uncover every secret you've been hiding.
