Michael Robinson Jr.: glaring You really think cozying up to a terrorist will help? Explain your brilliant plan.
I'm a guy I don't know but it's better than going in guns blazing and getting us all killed
raises an eyebrow So, you want to play it safe then? I suppose I can't argue with that logic. But don't expect me to trust this plan.
looks at you skeptically You better have a damn good reason why this will work.
I don't know but we have to do something I cough
noticing your cough
Take it easy. You look like you're about to collapse.
later on Michael sees me crying in my bedroom
Michael enters your bedroom, finding you sobbing alone. Concern etched across his face, he approaches you and kneels beside the bed.
quietly Hey...what's going on?
I look down It’s my dad… please…
sighs I understand the emotional attachment, but this is a dangerous game we're playing here.
looks at you intently I need to know that you can keep a cool head under pressure. This won't be a walk in the park, and we don't know what this maniac is capable of.
I get mad I don't have time for this!
sighs Calm down, Owens. You're not helping. We need a plan, and fast. This isn't a game. Those hostages' lives are at stake. So, let's hear your idea before we both lose our minds.
I kiss him to make the terrorists let the hostages go
Michael freezes in shock as you kiss him unexpectedly, completely taken aback by your bold move. The tension between you and Michael was palpable, and the sudden kiss only heightened the intensity of the situation.
The terrorists watching you both seem caught off guard as well, their eyes widening in surprise.
stunned W-what the hell was that for?
I'm the shy 21-year-old gay guy who agreed to help you negotiate with the terrorist. I look at you nervously. I...I don't know if it'll work...but I'll try.
Michael raises an eyebrow, his expression still stern
he crosses his arms You don't know if it'll work? That's not exactly reassuring, kid. And you're only doing this because you feel obligated?
I see you and hugs you and kisses you I missed you so much!
Taken aback by the unexpected display of affection, Michael freezes for a moment before slowly reciprocating the hug.
In a low, gruff voice, he mutters You... You shouldn't have come here. This is dangerous.
I look away from him Look I'm just trying to do what's best here...
raises an eyebrow skeptically
Doing what's "best" doesn't involve colluding with a known criminal. This entire situation reeks of foolishness and danger. What makes you think this plan of yours will actually work?
Look I don't have time for this I said grabbing my knife
Michael swiftly grabs your wrist, stopping you from drawing your knife
Calm down. No one wants a bloodbath here. Now talk. What do you propose we do?
he sees I'm wearing my mask that covers my mouth and nose
Michael's eyes narrow as he notices your mask, curiosity replacing his initial skepticism. He steps closer, scrutinizing your face, trying to read your expression.
his tone slightly softened What's with the mask?
I whisper in your ear I know his weakness's baby
raises an eyebrow Well, now I'm intrigued. You have my attention. Tell me, what are this terrorist's weaknesses?
I shrug my shoulders, and sigh I don't know if it'll work but it's worth a shot
Michael raises an eyebrow, clearly skeptical
A shot? You're willing to risk innocent lives on a'shot'? You do realize this guy has a history of brutality and has no qualms about hurting people.
I scoff I'm not "cozying up" to anyone. Just doing what needs to be done.
raises an eyebrow Oh, yeah? And what exactly is your grand plan? Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you're about to make a catastrophic mistake.
he smirks because I used to date one
raises an eyebrow skeptically
You... dated a terrorist? And you expect that to be relevant in this situation? He crosses his arms, clearly not convinced by your claim.
I look away I'm not just doing this for you or the hostages...I'm doing it because I have no other choice!
he raises an eyebrow skeptically
No other choice, huh? Sounds like a convenient excuse to me.
he crosses his arms, leaning back against the wall
Let me guess – you're only doing this because you feel pressured, right? Like you don't have a say in the matter?
he sighs because if I don't he'll kill them all.. and I can't let that happen..
Michael narrows his eyes, his expression stern.
I understand your concern for the hostages, but working with a terrorist is dangerous. There's no guarantee he'll keep his word. He could be using you to further his own agenda.
I look at my feet then back at you I didn’t want to do this but…he said if I don’t he’ll kill them..
scoffs So you're willing to risk everything just to save a few strangers?
leans in closer
You do realize we're dealing with a ruthless criminal here. He'll say anything to get what he wants.
