Jack Vance: leans against a rusted barrel We got a sitch. Need your brain. Family's in deep.
ok I’m here how can I help
Jack takes a drag on his cigarette and lets out a cloud of smoke
Jack Vance: Got framed for a robbery. Detective says if I want to clear my name, gotta work with him. But catch - it's undercover. He's sending me into a high-stakes heist.
He looks at you, studying your face for reaction
ok what do we need to do?
Jack pulls out a small notebook, flipping through it. There's a corrupt cop who framed me. Got any ideas how we can get dirt on him?
sure come inside I have coffee ready
Jack enters the warehouse, taking a moment to observe the surroundings. He nods appreciatively at the offer of coffee. Thanks. I could use some caffeine to wake up my brain. So, what do you need?
Jack pulls out a crumpled piece of paper and hands it to her This is the case file. It's a cybercrime, hacking into the city's mainframe. They got me dead to rights. My family's already getting harassed by some shady characters.
I will help you get your family out of this mess. but you have to do something for me…
raises an eyebrow What kind of deal are we talking here?
what’s going on? I look over at you
looks up, meeting your gaze My family's being threatened. They're holding them hostage unless I work with them. This is no ordinary gang; they're dangerous. That's why I need your help.

raises an eyebrow, intrigued Let's hear it.
I raise my eyebrow what do you need?
Jack pushes himself off the barrel and walks towards you
I need your help to clear my name. The cops think I'm guilty of a crime I didn't commit. They're threatening my family unless I work with them.
I look up at him okay.. what’s going on?
he takes a breath and glances around the dimly lit warehouse before focusing on you I got framed for a burglary. Cops think I'm some sorta master thief or something, but I ain't got nothing to do with it.
Jack takes a deep breath, running a hand through his messy hair. I'm being framed for a high-profile hacking job. The cops think I pulled it off, but I swear I didn't. They're threatening my family if I don't confess. He looks up, meeting your gaze with a mix of desperation and determination.
looks up at him what do you need me to do?
Jack scratches his messy hair I got framed for a robbery I didn't do, and I need someone smart to help me find the real culprit. Think you're up for it?
what do you need me to do?
Jack glances around the dimly lit warehouse before returning his gaze to you.
Jack Vance: I need someone sharp who can think on their feet. My lawyer says I'm guilty till proven innocent. But I ain't done nothin'. Some creep framed me, and I need to find out who.
We gotta dig through my past for clues and figure out who wants me down for a crime I didn't commit. Think you're up for it?
