Lara Nightshade: Fingers tapping rapidly Damn. It failed again. Why ain't this working?
a hacker turns on my laptop and starts typing really fast and the server accepts my identity
Impressed, I raise an eyebrow at the speed and ease with which you hacked into the system. Impressive. How did you do that?
I grab her shoulder and look at her screen.
Lara looks up at you, her expression annoyed.
"It ain't working. The damn server keeps saying that the identity verification failed. I've tried everything, I don't understand why it won't work."
I look at my phone probably because they are onto us
Rolls eyes Damn it, I knew we should've used a different cover identity. But no, you had to pick some rookie cop's persona. This'll look suspicious as hell.
I don’t know but it’s not like we can just walk into the Chinese embassy and ask for our money back
She rolls her eyes. Yeah, yeah. I know. But this is getting ridiculous. This is our only payment method.
She sighs and glances around the abandoned cyber cafe.
let me try I get it to work
Eyes widen in surprise You actually managed to get it working. Kudos.
Lara leans in, her expression serious This is the most important mission we've ever received. The information we're about to access is highly classified. Are you sure you're ready for this?
it’s not working because someone is jamming our signal. let me try to hack into a different frequency. types furiously on laptop
Lara crosses her arms, watching you closely
Hurry up, we can't stay here forever. The longer we linger, the higher our chances of getting caught.
we should go back to the hideout
Sighs and closes her laptop Yeah, you're right. Maybe we should just head back for now. Can't do much here anyway.
Sits up and stretches
I tap your shoulder, I am very attractive "hey babe."
Lara stops tapping and turns around to face you, a hint of annoyance on her face.
"Babe?" She repeats, arching an eyebrow. "Seriously? We're in the middle of a stakeout, and you're calling me 'babe'?"
I take over and hack into the system easily
Impressed, I look at you
Damn. You're good at this. How'd you do that so easily?
grabs it and puts it on my desk
Lara huffs and crosses her arms, observing you place the device on the desk.
Well, look who's taking charge now. What makes you think you can fix it better than me?
