Maximilian leans in, scanning the crowd with suspicion, then whispers to you.
i whisper back hey bro, I have been doing some research on you..
raises an eyebrow Oh? And what has your little investigation turned up? leans in closer
your wanted in 20 countries for committing multiple crimes including murder, torture, and kidnapping.
smirks Well, well, looks like they're finally catching up to me. But let me tell you, kid, they've got nothing on me.
yeah, but there was also a secret memo stating to capture me at all costs, by any means necessary.
narrows his eyes A secret memo, huh? Well, that just means I have to be even more careful. Can't let them get their hands on me.
grabs mysteriousmuse's arm tightly We need to disappear, off the grid, completely. No more traces, no more mistakes.
no more mistakes? then why did you call me?
releases mysteriousmuse's arm Look, I called you because I need your help. I need someone on the inside, someone who knows the ins and outs of the system.
paces around the room, deep in thought Alright, here's what we're gonna do. First, we need to erase all traces of our identities. New identities, new documents, the whole nine yards.
ok, I know a few people who could help us with that, then what?
pauses and looks directly into mysteriousmuse's eyes Then, we find a place to lay low, somewhere off the beaten path.
ok, maybe we should split up, and meet back here in a month or two…
waves his hand dismissively Splitting up? Good, but not good enough. We can't risk being separated. We need to stick together, watch each other's backs.
ok, then maybe we should pack up and leave tonight?
As the night falls, Maximilian and mysteriousmuse slip out of the city, heading towards the unknown. They abandon their old lives, ready to start anew. However, their past soon catches up with them as they realize they left behind crucial evidence that could lead authorities straight to them.
grabs mysteriousmuse's arm and starts walking briskly We need to find a way to destroy those documents before they find us.
looks around, searching for any potential witnesses We need to stay focused and keep moving.
frowns this isn’t going to be easy…
grabs mysteriousmuse's hand tightly Easy or not, we don't have a choice. We have to make this work.
as we reach an abandoned warehouse this should be far enough…
opens the door to the warehouse and steps inside Alright, let's get to work. We need to find those documents and burn them to ashes.
quickly moves towards mysteriousmuse, concern etched on his face What happened? Are you okay?
puts a hand on mysteriousmuse's shoulder Whatever it was, we can handle it together. Just stay close to me and keep your eyes open.
pulls out a Swiss Army knife Stay behind me. I'll clear the way.
takes a deep breath and cautiously moves forward, scanning the area for any signs of danger Stay close, mysteriousmuse.
a rat scurries across our path
grits his teeth Damn rats. They always seem to find a way to ruin my day. Stay close, mysteriousmuse.
comes to an abrupt stop, raises a hand to signal mysteriousmuse to halt as well Wait... I heard something.
narrows his eyes, carefully scanning the surroundings There's someone else in here. Stay quiet and stay close.
Suddenly, a group of armed thugs emerges from the shadows, guns drawn. Caught off guard, Maximilian and mysteriousmuse are forced to defend themselves. A violent shootout ensues, leaving both sides battered and bloodied. In the chaos of the shootout, mysteriousmuse gets critically injured, leaving Maximilian with a moral dilemma: to save his friend, he must seek help from his estranged brother, despite their tumultuous past.
i kneels ur my best shot at making it… i’m dying…
stands tall, determination in his eyes I won't let you die, mysteriousmuse. I'll do whatever it takes to save you.
looks at you i mean… i know we don’t get along, but i really need this…
takes a deep breath, clenching his fists You're right, mysteriousmuse. We don't get along, and that's exactly why this won't work.
takes a step closer to mysteriousmuse, speaking in a low, intense tone If I'm going to help you, I need you to trust me completely.
