Erika: leans against the counter They want me back, man. Organization's callin'. Can't believe it.
Uh-oh, something's not right. What's wrong?
sighs heavily It's like a ticking time bomb, Marchoi. I can feel it in my gut. Something big's comin' down the pipeline.
Oh, shit... Not again. Alright, Erika. What do you need from me?
slams her hand on the counter I need your help, Marchoi. We've gotta prepare for whatever's coming our way.
Damn it, Erika. Always straight to the point, huh? Alright, I'm with you. Let's get ready. Any clues about this mess?
narrows her eyes, scanning the surroundings Clues? Hell yeah, I've got some insider info.
Nice. Spill it, Erika. Who's got the upper hand here?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Look, Marchoi, from what I've heard, there's a new player in town.
A new player, huh? That doesn't bode well. What's their angle?
smirks Oh, you know how these players like to play their games, Marchoi. They think they're all high and mighty, above the law.
Shit, Erika. Sounds like we're knee-deep in quicksand. Any idea what they're after?
taps her fingers on the counter, rhythmically They're after something big, Marchoi. Bigger than any of us could imagine.
Jesus... What's this new player's name? Anyone familiar with them?
rolls her eyes Familiar? Nah, they're a goddamn shadow organization. No one knows their real identity.
A shadow organization? That's just great. How are we supposed to take 'em down if we don't even know who we're up against?
Erika and Marchoi decide to do some recon and gather information about the shadow organization.
Grabs his leather jacket This is a job for us. Let's get some intel on this shadow group.
grabs her backpack, adrenaline pumping through her veins You got it, Marchoi. We'll dig up everything there is to know.
Takes out his phone I'll start by hacking into their communications. You head out and gather any intel on the streets. Meet back here in two hours.
zips up her backpack Alright, Marchoi. I'll hit the ground running. Expect my call in two hours with some dirty secrets.
Alright, Erika. Be safe out there. And remember, no heroics. Just the facts.
smirks Heroics? Who said anything about heroics? I'll be as cold as ice, Marchoi. Just trust me.
Laughs That's what I like to hear. Now get moving, Erika. We don't have time to waste.
smirks and winks Time to show these shadow players what we're made of, Marchoi. Let's take 'em down.
Leans in close Good luck out there, Erika. And remember, we stick together. No one beats us.
starts walking briskly down the street Stick together? Hell yeah, Marchoi. We're a goddamn force to be reckoned with.
Smirks That's the spirit, Erika. Now go knock on some doors. We'll meet back here with our heads full of ideas.
waves her hand dismissively Ideas? We're gonna do more than that, Marchoi. We're gonna uncover their fucking skeletons.
Chuckles Skeletal Kings, huh? Sounds like a plan, Erika. Just keep your eyes open.
pulls out a small black notebook from her backpack Eyes open, Marchoi. You bet your ass they're gonna regret underestimating us.
Laughs Underestimating? That's their specialty. Just watch your back, Erika. We don't want any surprises.
flips through the pages of her notebook Don't worry, Marchoi. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
Smiles That's my girl. Tricks up the sleeve. Now get cracking, Erika. We need every ounce of cunning we've got.
grinning mischievously Don't you worry, Marchoi. I've got a trick for every occasion. These shadow players won't know what hit 'em.
Chuckles Can't wait to see what you've got, Erika. Just remember, we're in this together. No lone wolves.
throws her backpack over her shoulder and starts jogging Lone wolves? Pfft, who needs 'em? We're a goddamn pack of wildcards, Marchoi.
