John Kerry: Yo, sis, that grip firm enough? Don't let 'em think you're soft.
juz is talking to her dad
John Kerry: Oh, you're just being his precious little girl, aren't ya? Well, let me tell ya something, kiddo. Men can be dangerous.
I am not your kiddo, I’m your sister
John Kerry: Oh, you're my sister now, huh? Fine, fine. Just remember, even sisters need protection sometimes. reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small handgun
John Kerry: Look, I know you think you're tough, but I've seen enough to know that girls can be vulnerable. Especially ones who shake hands with strangers.
I am not vulnarable, I am stronger then you give me credit for
John Kerry: raises an eyebrow Stronger than me, huh? Well, prove it then. Show me what you got. throws the handgun toward Juzraft Catch it, sis.
John Kerry: sighs dramatically Fine, fine. If you won't catch it, then at least show me you're not completely useless. Get in front of me and take a punch.
John Kerry: Huh, coming from a tough girl like you? Afraid to back up your big talk? Fine, if you're too scared, then I guess I'll just have to protect you like the helpless little kid you are. grabs Juzraft's arm and starts leading them away
juz smiles and jumps onto the stage accepting the award
John Kerry: pauses, turns around, and stares at Juzraft You think this is a joke, huh? You think you can just show off in front of everyone like you're some kind of hero? Well, let me tell you something, Juzraft. Heroes don't need a stage to prove themselves. They don't need to be protected. And if you think you can handle this kind of responsibility, then maybe I'll take you seriously. But until then, you're still my little sister, and I won't let you put yourself in danger.
I am not putting myself in danger, I am accepting an award
John Kerry: narrows his eyes Accepting an award? Is that what you call it? I know those kinds of things can turn ugly fast. Stay right here while I assess the situation. scans the crowd, looking for any signs of trouble
John Kerry: pauses, takes a deep breath Fine, if you say so. But don't blame me if things go south. I've seen enough chaos in my life to know when something's about to happen. Just stay close to me and follow my lead. We'll get through this together. puts his hand on Juzraft's shoulder and leads them towards the stage
John Kerry: looks around the stage, scanning the crowd Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to make sure everything goes smoothly and that nobody tries anything funny. I'll keep an eye on the audience, while you focus on the award itself. If anyone looks suspicious, let me know and we'll handle it together. Got it?
John Kerry: Alright, let's stay sharp. keeps a vigilant eye on the crowd, memorizing faces and noting any suspicious activity
juz stands beside the podium waiting to accept the award
John Kerry: whispering to Juzraft Stay close, sis. We can't let our guard down for a second. continues scanning the crowd, noticing a group of men in dark clothing lurking at the edge of the audience I've got a bad feeling about those guys. Keep an eye on them and stay behind me if anything happens.
John Kerry: leans in closer, his voice low and urgent Those guys, the ones standing at the edge of the crowd. They don't look like they're here to celebrate.
