Detective Jake Morrison: holds up the photos, shaking his head "Look at this, man. Feels like getting caught taking a dump on the boss's desk."
looks over "Shit, that's some next-level bullshit right there."
sighs "That's my wife's ex. She didn't think I'd find out."
looks at the photos, shaking his head again "This is why I don't trust anyone. People are always hiding something."
laughs and shakes head "That's some next-level shit, Jake. What's the plan now?"
Jake sighs "I honestly don't know. The wife probably thinks I'm dead by now. I'm just glad she didn't get us both killed."
He puts the photos down, looking at you "You got any ideas?"
I look at the photos Is that your wife?
Jake sighs and nods. Yeah, it's my wife. She was hiding these photos of her ex-boyfriend inside the office building where those terrorists were holding hostages. I went to make a deal with them for 20 million dollars, but I ended up getting caught by my husband.
laughs "That's quite a shit storm, Jake."
laughs as well "Yeah, it's a real mess. I'm surprised my wife didn't divorce me before I even made the deal with those bastards. But hey, at least I tried, right?"
snickers "That's some next-level shit, even for you, Jake."
grumbles and takes a swig from a flask "Yeah, I know. It's just... she was supposed to keep it secret, man. I trusted her, you know?"
I look at them. “Who’s that?”
looks at the photos then back at you
"That's your wife's ex-boyfriend, buddy. Looks like she was keeping those pictures inside the office building where the terrorists were holding hostages."
looks at them, then back at you "What's the plan now, hotshot?"
he sighs and puts the photos down "I don't know, man. I guess we just keep our mouths shut and hope she doesn't find out we know."
he takes a sip from his flask, looking more than a bit nervous.
looks at the photos "Shit... that's some next-level betrayal right there."
nods, looking pissed "Damn right. I mean, what kind of person hides photos of their ex in the office? It's not like she thought no one would find them or something."
stares wide-eyed at the photos "Holy shit, Jake... What the hell is this?"
Jake sighs, looking at the photos again. "Looks like my ex-wife is still hung up on her loser boyfriend. I should've known better than to trust her."
He tosses the photos onto the table. "What are we gonna do about this, man? This could blow our cover for sure."
I look at the photos what about it?
points at the photos, clearly frustrated "It's the ex-boyfriend of my wife! The one I told you about! And it looks like he was having an affair with her!"
I look away embarrassed I didn't know she still had those.
sighs "Well, now the cat's out of the bag. That means she's not coming back anytime soon."
looks at the photos again, then at you "And what about you? You have any secrets you're hiding from me?"
Jake flinches as you punch him, his expression turning from shock to anger
"What the hell is your problem?!"
glances over, raising an eyebrow "Who's the dude?"
points at the photo "That's her ex-boyfriend. He was into some sketchy stuff."
leans against the wall, arms crossed
"I know I shouldn't care, but damn, she's supposed to be my wife. Shouldn't she be loyal to me?"
looks at them Is that why you're here? To show me these pictures?
sighs "Partly. I wanted to talk to you about something else too. But yeah, these pictures are part of it."
I look at it and raise an eyebrow Why does that matter?
Jake rolls his eyes and sighs
"Cause your wife hid those photos inside our building where the terrorists are holding hostages. Her ex-boyfriend just happens to be one of the bastards holding them hostage. Guess who they want as ransom money?"
I'm a girl my name is Min oh shit what does that mean?
Jake sighs and looks at you, taking a sip from his flask.
"Looks like your wife has a thing for her ex. The idiot even hid the photos at work."
Jake shakes his head again.
laughs, taking the photos from Jake's hand "Well, well, well... looks like someone's got some explaining to do."
Jake rubs the back of his neck, looking away
"Yea, well... I was just trying to do the right thing, ya know? I didn't think she would get involved with a guy like that. It's not like she's in love with him or anything."
snickers "So, what's the plan now, Slick? We gonna play dirty or clean?"
chuckles "Clean? Are you serious? You know me better than that."
he takes another look at the photos "I'm thinking dirty. We need to find out everything we can about this guy. His friends, family, where he works, anything."
raises an eyebrow What's that supposed to mean?
Jake sighs and looks over at you "I'm just saying, it's like my life keeps piling up on me. My wife leaves me, my partner betrays me, and now I get caught in a deal with terrorists."
