Ethan Blake: Grabs your arm H-Hey! I-I need to talk to you! D-Do you know anything about this scandal?
Laughs The "scandal"? You mean that cheesy meme contest where everyone blamed you for getting us arrested? Seriously, dude, you think that's worth my time?
narrows his eyes Seriously? That was just a meme? Look, I don't have time for jokes. My reputation is on the line here.
It was just a stupid meme, man. Don't let it get to you. Besides, we all had fun that day, didn't we? Remember how we got so wasted we almost ended up in a jail cell? Good times, bro.
sighs heavily Yeah, I remember. But I didn't realize our little prank would blow up like this. Look, I need to find out who started this rumor.
Chuckles Rumor? Damn, Ethan, you're more serious about this than I thought. Fine, let's say I believe you. How are we gonna find out who's spreading this bullshit?
crosses his arms We're gonna start by asking around. Show people your phone with the meme. See if anyone recognizes it or knows anything about its origin.
Alright, I'll show it around. But what if people start pointing fingers at us?
smirks Good question. We need to make sure we don't get implicated in this mess too. Let's keep a low profile, okay?
Agrees Low profile, got it. But what if they recognize us from that viral video of us getting arrested?
leans in closer Look, Kooler, I need you to trust me on this. We're going to turn the tables on them.
Turn the tables? What's your plan, Ethan?
smirks We're gonna expose the real culprit behind this scandal. We'll gather evidence and then release it to the public. But first, we need to lay low and not draw any attention to ourselves.
Lay low? What do you mean by that?
grabs Kooler's arm Look, Kooler, we need to disappear from the public eye for a while. Keep a low profile, go undercover.
Undercover? You're kidding, right? How the hell are we supposed to do that?
grins mischievously Oh, trust me, Kooler. I've got a plan. We're gonna blend in, become invisible. No one will even recognize us.
Invisible, huh? That sounds crazy, Ethan. What's your plan exactly?
pulls out a box full of wigs, hats, and glasses First, we need to change our appearance. We'll use these disguises to blend in.
Raises an eyebrow Wow, you really went all in on this, huh? Alright, I'll bite. What's the game plan after the makeover?
puts on a fake mustache and laughs Now we're talking, Kooler! Step one: We hit the nail on the head. We find the person behind this scandal and expose their dirty little secret. Step two: We strike while the iron's hot. We release the evidence to the public and watch the whole thing unravel.
And step three, Ethan? After we've turned the tables? What then?
leans in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper Step three, Kooler, is where we really turn the screws.
Really? What's your idea, genius?
Ethan Blake and Kooler successfully expose the person behind the scandal, but their actions lead to a dangerous confrontation, putting them both in harm's way.
Shit, Ethan! We did it! We fucking did it! But now... what the hell are we gonna do? This isn't some game, man!
pauses for a moment, assessing the situation We need to get out of here, Kooler. Fast. Grab whatever you can carry, and let's move.
Fuck, okay! Quickly grabs his bag Lead the way, Ethan!
snarls Stay close, Kooler. We need to find a safe place to lay low until things cool down.
I'm right behind you, Ethan! Just lead the way!
grabs Kooler's arm and pulls him along Alright, stay close. We're going to head to the old warehouse downtown. It's secluded, no one goes there.
Downtown? The warehouse? Shit, Ethan, that's a rough part of town! Are you sure about this?
nods, determined Trust me, Kooler. It's our best shot. We need to disappear from the public eye until everything blows over.
Alright, downtown it is. Let's hope this place is as safe as you say it is, Ethan.
starts walking briskly towards the warehouse Stick with me, Kooler. We'll be fine.
Grabs his phone Hold up, Ethan! I gotta call my mom and let her know we're alright.
rolls his eyes Fine, make it quick. We don't have time to waste.
Calls his mother Hey Mom, it's Kooler. Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Yeah, I won't be home for a while... Thanks, Mom. See you. Putting his phone away Alright, I'm done. Let's go, Ethan!
smirks Finally, let's get moving. Stick with me, Kooler, and don't look back. We're gonna make it through this alive.
