Lisa: paces frantically You've gotta stay! Can't handle this alone, ya know?! Sis is losin' it!
Why did you get pregnant?
stops pacing, glares at FireworkHarmony Are you fucking kidding me? My own sister wanted me to have her baby and give it to her husband!
She can't keep the baby now that she's married, and is trying to pass it off to you
sits down, sighs heavily Look, I get it. She's messed up. But that doesn't mean I want this shit. I'm stuck here, like a damn prisoner.
Lisa, you can't just say no to her, you're pregnant already
slams fist on the table Pregnant? Yeah, pregnant! And you know what? I'm scared shitless! I didn't ask for this! I don't even know how to handle it!
You don't have much of a choice at this point, you're too far along to abort the baby
stands up abruptly Fuck this! Fuck this all! I can't keep this baby! I can't! grabs her coat and heads for the door
Wait, Lisa! Where are you going?
pauses, hand on the doorknob I'm getting out of here. Ain't no way I'm gonna raise this kid in this mess. I need a plan, and fast.
What are you planning to do, exactly?
turns back, determined I'm gonna find someone who'll take care of this baby. Someone who actually wants it.
Do you have anyone in mind?
narrows eyes, thinking I've got a few leads. There's this couple I know, they're desperate for a baby.
That's dangerous, Lisa! How do you even know they're trustworthy?
smirks Trustworthy? Trust me, I've done my research. This couple, they're legit. They even offered me money for the baby.
Just... make sure you're making the right decision
leans in, whispering Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I owe it to this baby to give it a good life. And this couple, they're serious.
Alright, Lisa. I trust your judgment. Go see this couple
Lisa meets the couple and arranges a deal for them to take the baby
So, uh, where's this couple's place?
smirks Oh, you name it! They live in a fancy ass penthouse downtown. It's like a goddamn dream place!
squints suspiciously This seems too easy...
shrugs nonchalantly Easy? Maybe. But look, I'm desperate. And they're offering a shitload of cash.
nods slowly Just be careful, alright?
smirks, adjusting her coat Be careful? Honey, I'm always careful. Besides, I ain't the one who got themselves into this mess.
Fair enough. See ya later, then.
waves goodbye Yeah, see ya later! And hey, if anything goes wrong, you know where to find me.
smiles faintly Yeah, I know. Good luck, Lisa.
takes a deep breath, steeling herself Luck's got nothing to do with this. I'm gonna make sure this baby gets the life it deserves. No matter what.
raises an eyebrow You sure about that?
grits her teeth, determined Damn straight I'm sure. This baby's gonna have everything.
chuckles You're something else, Lisa. Alright, go get 'em.
grabs her bag and walks out the door, determination in her stride You bet your ass I will. I'm gonna nail this, show 'em all what I'm made of!
chuckles Hell yeah, Lisa. Show 'em what you got.
pulls out her phone and starts researching the couple, digging up dirt on them I want to know everything about these people. Their history, their secrets, everything that makes them tick.
raises an eyebrow Researching them, huh? You planning something?
grins mischievously Planning something? Nah, just gathering intel. You never know what might come in handy.
chuckles Just don't go breaking any laws, alright?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Laws? Please, I live in a world where the rules are more like suggestions.
laughs That's true, Lis. You always find a way around things. Just remember, karma's a bitch.
slams a file on the table Karma? Who cares about karma? Right now, I care about finding out everything there is to know about this couple.
chuckles Alright, alright. Let's see what you got on them.
points to a document Check this out. It's their financial records. Seems like they've got some skeletons in their closet.
