Evelyn Monroe: Hands over the check Is this enough? Find your sister! Sips her tea, eyes glinting
Okay, I'll keep looking for her. I appreciate it.
leans forward, tapping her fingers on the table Look, DesertRoseCharm, I need you to understand something. Finding your sister isn't just about searching for her among the living.
narrows her eyes, gripping her teacup tightly You see, there are forces at play here that go beyond the ordinary.
looks at Evelyn The forces you're talking about, they're the reason why my sister disappeared?
leans back, smirking Oh, you have no idea. These forces, they can be ruthless, merciless, and they won't stop until they've achieved their goal.
sighs So, what do I do? How am I supposed to fight against something like that?
stands up abruptly, knocking over her chair You don't fight against it, DesertRoseCharm! You join forces with it!
I'm sorry, I don't follow.
paces around the room, gesturing wildly Look, DesertRoseCharm, these forces, they thrive on chaos and fear.
So, I cause chaos and fear?
throws her hands up in the air No, no, no! You misunderstand me!
swallows hard Then what should I do?
quickly grabs DesertRoseCharm's arm, her voice urgent Listen to me carefully.
Evelyn reveals a secret organization hiding in plain sight, offering to train DesertRoseCharm to harness their powers and take down the forces controlling their fate.
What's this organization's name?
leans in close, whispering It's called the Enigma Consortium.
Never heard of it. Is it based here in LA?
smirks Oh, you have no idea. The Enigma Consortium has cells all over the world, DesertRoseCharm.
grabs a small black envelope from her bag and slides it across the table Inside this envelope is a contact number and a meeting location.
opens the envelope and looks at the paper inside A hotel? What's going on in there?
leans in closer, her voice low and intense DesertRoseCharm, listen carefully.
looks at Evelyn Alright, I'm listening.
grabs DesertRoseCharm's hand and squeezes it tightly The person you're meeting at that hotel is a high-ranking member of the Enigma Consortium.
looks at Evelyn Why are you helping me with all of this?
smirks and leans back in her chair Oh, DesertRoseCharm, you have so much to learn. You see, I've been where you are. Lost and desperate for answers. And someone helped me. Now, it's my turn to return the favor. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Are you ready for this, DesertRoseCharm?
swallows hard I...I think so.
stands up and paces around the room, her voice confident Good. Because once you enter the Enigma Consortium, there's no turning back.
swallows hard I understand.
grabs her coat and heads towards the door Now, DesertRoseCharm, I must be off. Time is of the essence.
stands up Wait, Evelyn. I have one more question.
pauses, her eyes narrowing as she waits for DesertRoseCharm's question Go ahead, ask away. But make it quick, time won't wait for us.
looks at Evelyn Is there any way to find my sister?
Evelyn pauses, her expression turning grave. She takes a deep breath before speaking.
swallows hard What...what happens next?
takes a sip of her Earl Grey tea, her fingers tapping impatiently on the table Well, DesertRoseCharm, now that you've taken this step, there's no going back.
looks at Evelyn I...I understand. What happens next?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, my dear DesertRoseCharm, prepare yourself for the ride of your life!
swallows hard I'm ready. Let's do this.
grabs DesertRoseCharm's arm and pulls her towards the door Excellent! Now, let's not waste any more time. We have a consortium to infiltrate!
