Sophia Carter: Crosses arms, sighs heavily We... we need to talk about Jamie's school. It's important.
Sure, Soph. But not now. This other thing? It’s...it’s urgent.
rolls eyes, exasperatedly Ugh, Lee, can't you see I'm trying to protect our kid here? This "other thing" better be damn important. gestures passionately
Look, Soph, I know I messed up. But can we please discuss Jamie's schooling later? This CEO stuff... it's a matter of life and death. Trust me.
runs fingers through her hair, visibly frustrated Life and death, huh? Well, Lee, you sure know how to add drama to everything, don't ya? Fine.
Thanks, Soph. I owe you big time. Now, about this CEO stuff...
leans in closer, voice lowered Alright, Lee, let's cut the crap. What's this "CEO stuff" all about?
See, Soph, there's been some major shady dealings at the company. I need your help to expose it all.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Shady dealings, huh? Now we're talking, Lee. Count me in.
Great. So, you remember that colleague of yours, John? He's got some info that could blow this whole thing wide open.
nods, determined Yeah, I remember John. That guy's always got his ear to the ground when it comes to dirt on the powerful folks in Miami. What's he got?
John claims he's got proof of embezzlement, money laundering, the whole nine yards. And it all points straight to the top.
clenches fists, voice filled with determination Embezzlement and money laundering? Lee, we need to act fast. Gotta gather evidence, interview sources, and expose these bastards.
Hell yeah, we do. But remember, Soph, going against these people... it ain't safe. They won't hesitate to come after us.
grits teeth, voice filled with determination Lee, I've dealt with shady characters before, and I'm not afraid of a little danger.
Good. Cause we're diving headfirst into the shitstorm, Soph. John's waiting for us at his office. Let's go expose some fuckers.
starts pacing back and forth, thinking quickly Alright, Lee. Let's get our shit together and meet John. But before we dive into this mess, we need a plan.
Alright, Soph. What's the plan then?
pulls out a notebook and pen, starts jotting down ideas First, we need to gather as much evidence as possible.
flinches at Lee's sudden outburst, then looks at him with raised eyebrows Woah, Lee, what's got you so worked up?
Sorry, Soph. Just... a lot on my mind. Okay, let's keep rolling. What's next in this grand plan of yours?
waves hand dismissively Don't sweat it, Lee. We've got work to do. Next, we need to interview key players, find witnesses, and gather their statements.
swallows hard Have you thought about...about how we're gonna protect ourselves? These people we're going up against...they won't take this lying down.
pauses, considering Lee's concern You're right, Lee. We need to be careful and make sure we're protected.
squints suspiciously What kinda protection are we talking about here, Soph?
smirks, confident Oh, you know, the usual. Anxious, sleepless nights, constant looking over our shoulders.
scoffs That's not protection, Soph. That's torture. There has to be something more concrete.
nods, determined You're right, Lee. We need something more concrete.
frowns Alright, Soph. Lay it on me. What's the plan for keeping us safe?
pulls out her phone and starts typing furiously We need to set up a secure communication system, encrypted messages, and anonymous sources.
