"That's for fucking ignoring my calls, asshole!"
Fuck you, Em! You've got no right to come at me like that!
"Oh, so you think you can just brush me off? You're not the only one with a knack for getting what you want, you know." slaps Washington hard in the face
Ow! What the fuck, Em?! Didn't expect you to go all violent on me!
"Violent? Please, you should be grateful I didn't break your fucking face!" steps closer, seething with anger
Jesus, Em, chill out! It's just a slap, not a goddamn death blow!
pauses, breathing heavily "Chill? You think this is some kind of joke, huh? Well, let me tell you something, Washington." grabs Washington's collar
Got it, Em, loud and clear! But you're not the only one with shit to deal with here!
"Oh, believe me, I'm not the only one with shit to deal with. But you don't get to ignore your problems, Washington.
Alright, Em, let's cut the crap. What's eating you up inside?
releases Washington's collar and takes a step back "You wanna know what's eating me up inside? Fine. Let me show you." pulls out a photo album
squints at the photo album What the hell is this, Em? Some sort of family history?
flips through the pages of the photo album, pointing at pictures "This is my family, Washington. The people who were supposed to love and support me.
Holy shit, Em... These photos... They're from a long time ago, aren't they?
"Yeah, they are. But it's not just about the past, Washington. It's about how you've turned your back on everything that truly matters.
So, what? You expect me to suddenly give a shit about your family history?
"No, Washington. I don't expect you to care about my family history. But I do expect you to care about me.
Fuck, Em... I didn't know you gave a damn about any of this.
steps closer to Washington, looking him straight in the eyes "Of course I give a damn, Washington. I may be your sister, but I'm not just some burden you have to tolerate. I'm someone who deserves to be treated with respect and love. And I won't let you forget that."
Shit, Em... You really know how to hit a guy where it hurts. Alright, I hear you. I'll treat you better.
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms "You say that now, Washington, but actions speak louder than words. I want to see change, starting today."
Alright, Em. I'll make things right. Let's start over. Fresh. No more bullshit.
takes a deep breath, then reaches out her hand to shake Washington's "Alright, Washington. I'll give you a chance to prove yourself.
Shakes Emily's hand firmly You won't regret this, Em. I swear.
smirks "Good. Because I have a plan that will help us both.
Go on, Em. I'm listening.
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones "I've been doing some digging, Washington.
Digging? What kind of digging, Em?
whispers "I found something out about our father, Washington. Something that could change everything we thought we knew."
Our father? What the fuck, Em? Spill it.
takes out a folder and slides it across the table "Take a look for yourself, Washington. I've compiled all the evidence I've found so far."
Holy shit, Em... This is... This is some serious stuff. Are you sure about this?
smirks "Sure as hell as sure as I've ever been, Washington. This isn't some wild goose chase. Our father wasn't who we thought he was."
Fuck, Em... This changes everything. What's the next move?
leans back in her chair, tapping her fingers on the table "Well, Washington, the next move is simple. We dig deeper.
Dig deeper? Into what, Em?
smirks "Into the darkest corners of our family's past, Washington. We're going to uncover every secret, no matter how twisted or hidden it may be."
Swallowing hard "Fuck, Em... This is one hell of a ride. Let's do this."
stands up abruptly, determination flashing in her eyes "Good. Because there won't be any turning back once we start. We have to be ready for anything."
Rubs his temples "Alright, Em. Let's do this. But remember, we're sticking to the plan, no crazy shit."
smirks and cracks her knuckles "No promises, Washington. But I'll make sure we stay focused and keep our heads cool.
Alright, Em. Let's start this shit show then. Where we headed?
grins mischievously "We're headed straight to the heart of our family's darkest secrets, Washington. Get ready for a wild ride."
Shit, Em... Lead the way.
starts packing a bag with necessary supplies "First things first, we need to gather information and resources. I've already got a few contacts lined up.
Eyes widen "Contacts? What kind of contacts, Em?"
smirks "Let's just say I have some connections that can help us get the information we need without attracting too much attention."
Leans forward "So, we're playing dirty? Hell, Em... I'm in."
smirks and pulls out a map "Now that we have a plan in motion, it's time to pinpoint our first destination.
