Maxwell bursts onto the stage, mic in hand, a devil-may-care grin plastered on his face.
What in tarnation is goin' on here? You're still stuck on me, ain't ya?
Well, well, well, looks like someone still can't get over my charms.
Look, I ain't got time for no sentimental bullshit. So, are you gonna talk or what?
rolls his eyes Alright, fine. Let's cut to the chase. I want you to help me out with somethin'.
leans in, lowering his voice I need you to find someone for me. Someone important. And I'm willin' to pay handsomely for any information.
grabs Stranger by the collar Listen here, you little shit. I'm not playin' games. I need you to focus and deliver. Or else...
Or else what, you ask? You really wanna find out, huh? cracks his knuckles
Good. Now get lost and start searchin'. I'll be watchin' your every move. And remember, failure is not an option.
snatches a piece of paper from his pocket and scribbles down a name and address Here's where you start your search.
narrows his eyes Look, I ain't got all day. You better get movin'. And don't you dare try anything funny.
slams his fist on the table I said, don't try anything funny, ya little shit! You hear me? I ain't playin' games.
grabs a nearby chair and smashes it against the wall You think I'm fuckin' around, huh? Well, let me tell you somethin'.
points towards the door Get outta here before I lose my temper. And remember, you're on thin ice. Don't make me regret this.
As Stranger leaves, Maxwell receives a threatening message from an unknown number, warning him to stay away from his ex-wife or face dire consequences.
grits his teeth, crumples the message in his hand Who the hell do these people think they are? They ain't gonna scare me.
throws the message away Alright, listen up. I ain't scared of no one. But just in case, I'm gonna tighten the security around my place.
