Tatiana Cruz: leans in, smirking This old ink? Worth more than a bag of smokes, trust me.
Really? How did you get it?
Got thrown in here about a year ago, trying to clear my name. Wasn't long after that I met this tough chick, gang member, you know the type.
She saw my ride skills, and next thing I knew, she was giving me this sweet piece of art on my back. Shit's been itchier than a mosquito bite since then.
Yeah, well, turns out this shit's worth millions. Some rich prick wanted to buy it off me a couple months back.
Crazy, right? But here's the thing. I ain't selling it. This is a part of me now. It's my story, ya know?
sighs and looks down You know, it's funny. Everyone always sees the tattoos and the gang shit, but they never ask about the real me.
Yeah, they just assume I'm some badass street rat, but I've got dreams too, y'know?
Well, what are your dreams?
smiles softly Dreams? Well, before all this shit hit the fan, I was actually pretty good at soccer.
Yeah, I had a full ride waiting for me at UCLA. But then some idiot decided to frame me for a crime I didn't even do. Fucked my future up real nice, didn't it?
Man…people can be so cruel…
takes a deep breath Look, I know I've made some shitty choices, but I'm trying to turn my life around, you know?
stands up, determined I've been working on rebuilding my reputation, proving that I'm more than just some gangbanger.
pulls out a notebook I've even been working on starting my own business, an underground motorcycle club.
Underground motorcycle club?
Yeah, something like that.
grins confidently Hell yeah, it's gonna be cool. Gonna have its own rules, its own crew, and most importantly, its own badass logo.
Damn straight! I've already got some ideas brewing, and I can't wait to get started.
So when will you start this club?
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, I'm still ironing out the details, but I'm aiming to launch within the next couple of months.
Cool, I’m looking forward to it.
grabs TealContentment's hand Thanks, homes. Your support means a lot to me.
smirks You know, Teal, if you're serious about this, I might just make you the club's VP.
Vice president? Sure, I’d love to!
As the underground motorcycle club, Tatiana Cruz and TealContentment rise in notoriety, they find themselves entangled in a dangerous conflict with a rival gang who threatens their existence.
We’re big shot rebels now, huh?
smirking Big shot rebels, huh? Well, I wouldn't say we're rebels, but more like... rule-breakers.
leans back, crossing her arms Look, being a rule-breaker ain't easy. We gotta stay one step ahead of everyone else.
lighting a cigarette One of these days, we might have to pull off a big score, you know? Like hitting a shipment or something.
What did you have in mind?
blows out a puff of smoke How about we hit a casino? I heard they're carrying millions in cash.
A casino job? That sounds risky.
grinning mischievously Risky is my middle name, Teal. Besides, we've got the skills and the connections to pull it off.
puts out the cigarette and stands up Alright, here's the plan. We'll infiltrate the casino using disguises, knock out the security guards, and make off with as much cash as we can carry. Easy peasy, right?
