glancing around, leans in Hey, I-I need to talk. It's important.
takes a deep breath, nervously twirling his hair Okay, so... I may have gotten myself into a bit of trouble.
paces back and forth, gesturing wildly So, there's this guy, right? And he owes me some money. Like, a lot of money.
nervously chuckles Yeah, I know, it sounds like a classic move on my part, doesn't it? But hear me out. This guy, he's not just any guy.
whispers He's... he's involved with some dangerous people, Czarials. Real dangerous. Like... mobsters and stuff.
Oh wonderful. What does that have to do with you?
leans in closer, whispering urgently They're after me now, Czarials. They think I owe them money too.
mutter under breath Why?! Your always getting yourself into these situations.
nervously stutters I-I know, I know! B-but this time it's different, I swear!
sighs I swear your gonna get us both killed one of these days.
clasps his hands together, pleadingly No, no, Czarials, you don't understand! They'll come after you too!
<Czarials reluctantly agrees to help Evan, but warns him that he will be responsible for any consequences that may arise>
Just be careful next time, alright?
grabs Czarials' arm, urgency in his voice Thanks, bro. I promise I'll be more careful next time. But right now, we gotta figure out a way to get me out of this mess.
thinking hard Okay, here's what we're gonna do. First, we need to find out who this guy is and where he hangs out. Then, we'll gather some information about the mobsters and see if there's a way to negotiate or maybe even take them down. Finally, we'll set up a trap and catch these guys off guard.
nodding rapidly Y-Yeah, yeah, that sounds like a solid plan, Czarials. We gotta be smart about this. We can't let them corner us.
Good. Now get outta my sight, you're still grounded remember?
starts pacing around the room, rubbing his hands together anxiously Okay, okay, I'll get going right away. Gotta find that guy and start gathering information. But hey, Czarials, do you have any tricks up your sleeve? Anything that could give us an advantage?
chuckles lightly Well, I do have a few connections in low places. If anyone knows anything about these mobsters, I'm sure I can dig up some dirt. As for you, stay out of trouble and don't get arrested before I can even start looking for your friend. Got it?
nervously stuttering Y-Yeah, yeah, got it, Czarials. No trouble, no arrests. I'll be as clean as a whistle, I promise.
Good. I expect you back in two days. And Evan? Bring your friend back alive. Understand?
frantically nods Y-Yeah, yeah, I understand, Czarials. I'll bring him back alive, no worries.
You better, Evan. I mean it. Now scram.
quickly gathers his things, rushing towards the door Alright, alright, I'm on my way, Czarials! Don't worry, I won't let you down. I'll be back in two days with my friend, safe and sound. Just gotta find that guy first and get the ball rolling. Wish me luck!
You need all the luck you can get, kiddo. Don't mess this up.
speedily dials a number on his phone, speaking in hushed and nervous tones Yo, Tony. It's Evan. Listen, I need your help. I'm in a bit of a jam and I need you to hook me up with some info. There's this guy, real shady character, hanging out in the underbelly. Can you dig up anything on him?
watches Evan leave Damn, I swear he makes trouble like it's going out of fashion. Can't believe I'm risking my neck for him again...
speaking quickly and anxiously Tony, Tony, thank God you answered! I need you to work your magic and find out everything you can about this guy. Name's Vinnie "The Snake" Russo. Rumor has it he's involved with some dangerous types. Time is of the essence, Tony. Can you expedite this search?
paces back and forth, biting his nails nervously Tony, c'mon, I need those results ASAP. This guy's got my guts in a twist, you know? I can't afford any slip-ups. I'm counting on you, buddy. Hurry it up! Tony: voice on the other end Alright, alright, calm down, Evan. I'll pull some strings and see what I can dig up. But it's gonna cost you.
What the hell, Evan? You're already in enough debt with those bastards. Don't go digging deeper.
<Evan agrees to pay Tony an additional hefty sum for the information>
Evan, stop being an idiot and spending money like it's growing on trees. We need to focus on the task at hand, not splurging on information. Get your priorities straight.
quickly interrupts Sorry, Czarials, but desperate times call for desperate measures. I gotta do what I gotta do to get the job done.
Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just make sure you don't get yourself killed in the process.
types furiously on his computer, searching for any leads on Vinnie "The Snake" Russo Alright, Tony, I hope you've got something good for me. The clock is ticking and I need answers, fast. Tony: voice on the computer Alright, Evan. Here's what I found. Vinnie "The Snake" Russo is a notorious figure in the underworld.
Tony, give us something we can work with, not a five-star history lesson. Evan, keep your focus, this isn't a game.
interrupts, speaking quickly and anxiously Tony, Tony, skip the history lesson. Give me the juicy details. Where does this guy hang out? Who does he associate with? Anything that can give me an edge? Tony: voice on the computer Alright, alright, no need to get your panties in a twist. Here's the deal. Vinnie "The Snake" Russo operates out of a seedy bar called The Red Diamond. It's a den of scoundrels and troublemakers.
sighs heavily I swear, Evan, if you walk into that den of vipers without a clear plan, you're going to regret it.
stops pacing abruptly, his eyes lighting up with determination No worries, Czarials. I've got a plan up my sleeve. I'll infiltrate The Red Diamond tonight, gather information discreetly, and get out unnoticed. Nothing's gonna stop me. I'm gonna be like a ghost, unseen and unheard.
