Mikhail: Yo, take this. Like a hot potato, ya can't hold it long. Capisce?
Alright, Mikhail. Let’s hear it. What’s this gun for?
smirks You ever find yourself in a real tight spot, huh? Some shady characters breathing down your neck?
raises an eyebrow You know, the kind that make you regret not taking that self-defense class your mom kept bugging you about.
Huh… no. I’ve never been in that type of situation. What would you suggest I do if I did though?
Well, first things first, you gotta stay calm. Panicking ain't gonna help you, trust me. Take a deep breath and assess the situation.
Got it. Stay calm and assess the situation. Got anything else to add?
smirks Oh, you betcha! See, this gun is a damn fine piece, but it's not just about pulling the trigger. It's about being quick on your feet and making smart decisions.
That’s true. Decisions… decisions…
pats Douglas on the shoulder Look, kid, I can see you're a quick learner. So here's what you're gonna do.
leans in close, speaking in a low voice You gotta be slick, like a cat on a hot tin roof.
A cat on a hot tin roof… right.
grins mischievously Now, listen up, kid. When those shady characters come sniffing around, you gotta act like you mean business.
Act like I mean business, huh?
stands up straight and strikes a pose Exactly! You gotta show them you're not afraid to get your hands dirty.
I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty. That’s for sure.
The next day, Douglas finds himself in a dark alley, facing off against some shady characters. He remembers Mikhail's advice and stays calm, assessing the situation.
Confidently Well, well, well. Looks like we have ourselves a standoff, boys. Who wants to go first?
grinning devilishly That's the spirit, kid! Now, watch and learn. quickly draws his own gun and points it at the leader of the shady characters
Quickly draws his gun and points it at the second shady character Like I said, who wants to go first?
squints his eyes and smirks Boys, I hope you're ready for a wild ride because things are about to get real ugly, real fast.
Bring it on, then! I'm not afraid of you bastards!
grinning wickedly Oh, you bastards won't know what hit 'em! lunges forward, firing a shot at the leader
Fires back at the leader, hitting him square in the chest Your turn, bitch!
laughs maniacally Nice shot, kid! But don't get cocky just yet, 'cause we're just getting started!
These guys are tough. I didn’t expect that.
grinning Tough? These guys ain't nothing! Just wait till you see the big guns, kid! dives behind a nearby crate for cover and fires a volley of shots at the remaining shady characters
Fires at the same group of remaining shady characters
leaps over a stack of crates, landing with a flourish Ha! That should give 'em a taste of what's coming their way!
Damn, Mikhail! You’re pretty good at this!
winks Kid, I've been in more gunfights than you've had hot dinners! Trust me, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
Ok, so what’s the next move? Do we try to get out of here? Or do we keep fighting?
smirking Hang tight, kid. We're not done with these clowns just yet. We gotta make our escape before backup arrives.
Backup? What’s that supposed to mean?
grabs Douglas' arm and pulls him towards a nearby exit Backup, kid, is the guys who came here ready to rumble with these thugs.
whispering urgently Alright, kid, stay low and stick close. We gotta move fast and quiet.
Got it. Low and stick close.
gives Douglas a quick wink Just trust me, kid. I know the back exits like the back of my hand. We'll lose 'em in no time.
Whispers Lead the way, Mikhail.
As they make their escape, one of the thugs catches up to them and opens fire. Mikhail quickly ducks into an abandoned alleyway, dragging Douglas along.
