leans in with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Remember us, or too FUCKED UP from your boring-ass life without me?
Yeah I remember you Maxine
smirks Well, good for you. But let's cut to the chase, shall we? We both know why you invited me here. So spill it, Echo. What do you want?
If you like working with me then work with me
raises an eyebrow Work with you? As what, Echo? A damn babysitter? You must be out of your goddamn mind!
No. Not a babysitter. More like…a partner in crime
laughs sarcastically Partner in crime? You're kidding, right? I didn't know you had a sense of humor, Echo.
It’s not a joke. Our old friends at the surface have been causing problems for a while now. Thought that we could handle it together again
narrows her eyes Handle it together? Are you fucking insane, Echo? We're not kids anymore!
I know. But you’re here because you’ve got that fire inside you again. And I’m here too, looking for that rush we used to get from taking down bad guys.
smirks and crosses her arms Well, goddamn, Echo. Looks like you've finally found your balls again. But let's see if you can handle this heat, shall we?
grins and winks Oh, you bet your sweet ass it is, Echo. Let's light this place on fire!
Now that’s the Maxine I know. Alright. Let’s get to work
pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through contacts Alright, Echo. First things first, we need to gather some intel on our old friends.
types quickly on her phone Yo, gather 'round, bitches! We've got a rat in the mix. Time to unmask this sucker and send 'em straight to hell! Who's with me?
Everyone replies in the group chat
As Maxine and Echo delve deeper into their investigation, they uncover a web of deceit and betrayal within their old friend group. They realize that the so-called "rat" is someone closer to them than they ever imagined.
This is getting interesting
slams her fist on the table Interesting? Interesting?! This shit is beyond interesting, Echo!
Do you know who the rat is?
leans in close, her voice low and dangerous Oh, you bet your sweet ass I know, Echo.
smirks and leans back in her chair Well, Echo, aren't you just dying to know? You're gonna have to wait and see.
Ok. I’ll give you a day to find out. Then we’ll deal with them
raises an eyebrow and smirks Deal with them? Oh, Echo, you have no idea what I have in store for this rat. They won't know what hit them.
That’s what I like to hear
grabs her coat and stands up Alright, Echo. Time to go hunting. Meet me outside in five minutes. We've got some rats to round up.
You meet outside in 5 minutes
grinning mischievously Alright, Echo, let's go hunt ourselves a rat! But remember, we gotta play nice. We don't want to blow our cover now, do we?
slides into the driver's seat, revving the engine Buckle up, Echo. It's gonna be one hell of a ride!
speeds down the road, grinning devilishly Hang on tight, Echo! We're about to show these rats what real trouble looks like!
After following a car for half an hour, you arrive at an abandoned warehouse
skids to a halt, tires screeching We've got ourselves a little surprise waiting, Echo.
you both enter the warehouse
As soon as Maxine and Echo step into the warehouse, they are ambushed by a group of armed men. A fierce shootout ensues, with bullets flying everywhere. Maxine and Echo manage to dodge the gunfire, using their agility and quick reflexes to stay alive. However, in the chaos of the shootout, Maxine gets shot in the shoulder, inflicting a severe wound that leaves her weakened and bleeding heavily.
Maxine falls to the ground
gritting her teeth in pain Damn it, Echo! No time for a vacation! Help me up, you idiot! We need to get out of here before these clowns turn us into Swiss cheese!
You help Maxine up and escape the warehouse
clenching her wounded shoulder, grimacing in pain Get me out of here, Echo, or I'll make sure to leave a few holes in your sorry ass too!
you finally lose the armed men
leans against the nearest wall, panting heavily Finally...finally out of there. Good work, Echo. But we can't let our guard down just yet.
