Michelle Rodriguez: grabs your arm Stop running. Truth now. Are you the drug lord?
Yeah, but keep it down. We're in a crowded area.
narrows her eyes Don't give me that bullshit. I've heard the rumors, seen the evidence. You think you can hide from me?
Who do you work for? The government?
crosses her arms, unfazed by your intimidation Work for myself, actually. See, I've been keeping tabs on you for a while now.
leans in closer, her voice low and dangerous Oh, I've known about your little "business" for a long time.
well I'm not talking about that. what proof do you have?
smirks and pulls out a stack of photographs Photos, transaction records, witness statements. Enough evidence to bring you down.
well if we are going to talk, let's go somewhere more private.
raises an eyebrow Private? You think I'm stupid enough to trust you in some isolated place?
no no no. I'll tell you where to go.
pauses, considering your offer Fine. I'll listen to what you have to say. But one wrong move, and I'll make sure you regret it. Lead the way.
I lead her to a local coffee shop
follows you into the coffee shop, scanning the surroundings Alright, talk. What's your game?
I want to make things right between us.
leans back in her chair, skeptical Right between us? Don't waste your time with empty words. I want concrete actions, not promises.
I have plans to expand our empire, but I need your help.
leans forward, intrigued Expand your empire? What exactly are you planning? And why do you need my help?
You're good at martial arts, and I need someone I can trust.
smirks So, you want to use me as your personal bodyguard and enforcer? Fine, I can play that role.

takes a deep breath It all started a few years ago when I stumbled upon some unusual financial transactions in your bank account.
pulls out a laptop and starts typing rapidly, showing you screenshots of financial records These transactions, they were suspicious.
As Michelle delves deeper into the investigation, she discovers a web of deceit involving both Silvendch and herself.
It's time to stop this pointless feud and work together.
pauses, her expression softening Work together? Are you sure about this?
yeah. I need your help. I'm being investigated by the DEA.
narrows her eyes The DEA? Well, this just got interesting. Tell me everything they've been asking about.
slams her hand on the table Don't play dumb with me, Silvendch. I need to know exactly what the DEA knows. Start talking.
They suspect I'm involved in a money laundering scheme.
leans back in her chair, thinking Money laundering, huh? That's serious shit. We need to handle this carefully.
I was only doing it to protect you. I thought they were going after you.
leans in closer, her voice filled with determination Protect me? Silvendch, you had no right to put me in danger like that.
