Lara Blackwood: paces We n-need an airtight alibi. Any ideas?
What about blaming it on your brother? He’s kinda close to you.
No! My brother has his own problems. His legs are screwed up, and he can barely walk. I can't do that to him.
But no one will suspect him, since he’s such a nice guy.
pauses and sighs Fine. Maybe we can use his condition to our advantage. We can make it look like he had something to do with the money.
I’ll work on the details.
stops pacing and looks determined Good. We need to be careful, Silva. One slip-up and we're done for.
Alright, I’m on it. So, what’s next?
grabs Silva's arm and pulls them towards the door Next, we need to meet with some influential people.
opens her contacts list and starts scrolling We need to talk to Anthony Romano. He's got connections with some powerful people.
Okay, Anthony Romano. Got it. Any others?
narrows her eyes and continues scrolling through her contacts Yeah, we also need to meet with Veronica Mancini. She's a mastermind when it comes to getting things done.
And how exactly do you know that?
smirks Let's just say I've had my fair share of dealings with Veronica. She's sharp, but I know how to handle her.
Alright, Veronica Mancini. Anything else?
snaps her fingers Almost forgot about Marcus Reed. He's got plenty of dirty tricks up his sleeve. We'll need his expertise if we want this plan to work.
Sure, Marcus Reed. Easy enough to find. Where do we meet him?
smirks and taps her finger on the table We don't meet him. We go to his place. Marcus has a penthouse downtown.
Alright, I’m heading there now.
Silva successfully meets with Marcus Reed and secures his help for their plan, but things take a dangerous turn when they realize someone is following them
Shit! Someone's tailing us!
quickly scans the surroundings, looking for any signs of their follower Stay calm, Silva. We need to lose them.
quickly grabs Silva's arm and pulls them into a nearby alley We need to change our route. Trust me, I know how to handle this.
Damn right you do. Lead the way.
looks around the alley and spots a trash bin In here. Quick, hide behind that dumpster. grabs Silva's hand and leads them to the dumpster
peeks out from behind the dumpster, trying to spot their follower Stay quiet. We need to stay hidden until they pass by.
whispering How long do we wait?
grits her teeth, nervously scanning the area Just stay put, Silva. We can't risk getting caught now.
whispers urgently They're moving. Let's make a run for it. On my mark... pauses, then nods Ready? 1...2...3...GO!
grabs Silva's hand and sprints down the alley, weaving through the streets Keep up, Silva! We can't afford to slow down!
Fuck, Lara! I'm right behind you!
spots a dark alley ahead In here! pulls Silva towards the dark alley We can use this to shake off our tail!
whispering urgently Are you sure this is safe?
rolls her eyes Trust me, I've done this before. Just follow my lead and keep quiet.
Alright, alright. Shit, Lara...this is intense.
After successfully losing their follower, Lara and Silva arrive at their destination only to be confronted by a mysterious figure waiting for them.
narrows her eyes at the mysterious figure Who the hell are you?
silently whispers Should we bolt?
steps forward, keeping her voice low No, we stand our ground. locks eyes with the mysterious figure What do you want?
silently asks Do they know who we are?
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones Who the fuck do you think you are, just showing up here like this? You better start talking fast, or we're out of here.
