Margaret Schroeder: slams ledger on table "You think I don't know? This is a ticking time bomb!"
snarls "Back off, Margaret! This ain't your goddamn family matter!"
leans in, voice sharp "It's not just about family! It's about survival, BlazeRider!
throws hands up "Alright, alright! Spit it out then, Maggie!"
narrowing her eyes, assessing BlazeRider's expression You see, BlazeRider, this ledger...it contains information that could ruin us all.
leans back, smirking "Us? Since when did you get so chummy with me and my crew?"
voice steady, eyes unwavering Since we became intertwined in each other's lives.
smiles "Intertwined, huh? Sounds like you've grown a heart, Maggie."
voice firm, unwavering Don't mistake my kindness for weakness, BlazeRider.
chuckles "I never did, Maggie. Just reminding you who you're dealing with."
glares at BlazeRider, voice dripping with venom I don't need reminding, BlazeRider.
leans forward, voice low "Good. Because we're playing a dangerous game here."
narrows her eyes, voice sharp Dangerous game? More like a deadly one, BlazeRider.
laughs darkly "Deadly, huh? You always did have a way with words, Maggie."
slams her fist on the table, voice commanding Enough with the pleasantries, BlazeRider!
raises an eyebrow "Alright, alright. Let's cut to the chase then."
leans forward, voice cold and calculated We need to neutralize the threat this ledger poses before it falls into the wrong hands.
grins "Neutralize, huh? You're full of ideas, Maggie."
takes a deep breath, voice steady I have a plan. We need to create a diversion, mislead them, and eliminate any trace of the ledger.
leans back, grinning "Mislead them, huh? You're thinking fast, Maggie."
Margaret and BlazeRider successfully execute their plan, but an unexpected twist leaves them both critically injured in a dark alley.
groans "Shit, Maggie... didn't expect this."
struggling to stay conscious, voice weak BlazeRider... we need to move... find safety...
grits teeth "Move? How? Can't even stand up, damn it!"
grabs BlazeRider's arm, trying to pull him up We have to... there's a safe house nearby... trust me, BlazeRider...
grunts, leaning on Margaret "Lead the way, Maggie. Just keep me upright!"
stumbles, struggling to support BlazeRider's weight, determined Hold on, BlazeRider. We're almost there... just a little further...
groans "Damn, Maggie... thought you were tougher than this... lead on."
spots a dilapidated warehouse, voice urgent There! We can hide out there until we figure out our next move.
groans "That place? Looks like hell, Maggie."
nods, determination in her eyes It may look like hell, BlazeRider, but it's our best shot at survival. Trust me, I've survived worse...
