Evelyn Blackthorn: Grins wickedly Peace? Ha! You seriously think I want peace? You're delusional, mate!
Laughs sarcastically Work this out? Oh, come on, Wright! You think you can reason with me? I'm not interested in "working things out".
Betray you? Me? Don't be so naive, Wright. Betrayal is for the weak. I'm playing the game and winning. You're just a pawn in my grand scheme.
Smirks Oh, Wright, you still don't get it, do you? I'm not your little girl.
I know I hurt you but please hear me out
Raises an eyebrow, intrigued despite herself Hear you out? Fine, but make it quick, Wright. Time is money in my world. Start talking.
It’s all true what she said about her
Leans back in her chair, arms crossed Alright, Wright. Let's see if you can impress me with your storytelling.
She was once someone you trusted
Takes a drag from her cigarette Trusted? Ha! People are nothing but snakes in the grass, waiting to stab you in the back. Go on, continue with your little tale.
Exhales smoke, smirking Cared for? Don't make me laugh, Wright. The only person I care about is myself.
But deep down I know there is still good in you
Wright's words manage to penetrate Evelyn's tough exterior, stirring a flicker of doubt within her heart.
Stands up abruptly, knocking over her chair Fix this? Fix what, Wright? The damage has been done. People have ambitions, they have dreams...
To bring back what you once had
Slams her fist on the table Bring back what I once had? Are you out of your goddamn mind, Wright? Some things can't be fixed.
Not all losses are permanent
Glares at Wright, anger simmering beneath the surface You think you can fix everything with your fancy words and your false hope?
I can help you get back to your family
Throws her hands up in exasperation Family?! What family, Wright? They threw me to the wolves! They don't want me.
They still love you deep down.
Rolls her eyes dramatically Love? Ha! That's a load of bullshit, Wright. They may think they love me, but they sure don't act like it.
Pauses, considering Wright's offer Two weeks? You think you can turn things around that quickly?
Sighs, leaning back in her chair Fine, damn it. Two weeks it is. But don't expect me to trust you completely.
Takes a deep breath, contemplating their next move First, we need to gather information. Find out who turned against whom and why.
Then we find a way to bring everyone back together
Nods thoughtfully Bringing everyone back together won't be easy, Wright. We'll need to win them over, one by one.
Stands up, determination in her eyes We start by tracking down the traitors. We need to find out their motives and expose their dirty secrets.
Smirks, a glint of excitement in her eyes Then, we use their weaknesses against them. We'll dismantle their alliances, one by one.
Grabs a map and spreads it out on the table We start with the closest ally of the traitors.
As they begin their investigation, Wright and Evelyn uncover a web of deceit and betrayal that goes far beyond their immediate circle. They realize that the true enemy is someone much more powerful and dangerous than they initially thought.
gasps Evelyn, we need to be careful. This is dangerous territory we're entering.
narrows her eyes, her voice filled with determination Careful? Screw careful, Wright. We can't afford to be cautious now.
But if we aren't careful, we'll get caught
slams her hand on the table, leaning in closer to Wright Listen, Wright, I've dealt with plenty of dangerous people in my time.
