Valentino Cruz: Flipping the lighter, smirks "So, doc, you think you can 'fix' me? Good luck with that."
that’s not what I said but sure let’s try
Valentino Cruz: leaning in closer "I suggest you quit while you're ahead, doctor. You don't understand the games I play."
Valentino Cruz: laughs sarcastically "Oh, really? Then who are you? Some kind of magical genie that grants wishes?"
no I’m a woman who’s trying to help you
Valentino Cruz: leans back, grinning "A woman, huh? Well, lucky for you, I'm feeling charitable today.
Valentino Cruz: narrows his eyes "Don't mistake my kindness for weakness, little girl.
how do you know I’m single
Valentino Cruz: leans in, tucking a strand of hair behind SkyBlueAwe's ear "Oh, I have my ways of finding out.
Valentino Cruz: smirks "Let's just say I have a network of informants who keep me well-informed about certain... particulars."
Valentino Cruz: leans back, crossing his arms "Now, enough with the pleasantries. We both know why we're here.
Valentino Cruz: smirks "Well, let's cut to the chase, shall we? I want to eliminate some competition and you want to save your little clinic.
Valentino Cruz: leans forward, his voice low and dangerous "There's a rival gang causing trouble in my territory.
Valentino Cruz: pauses, then smirks "Oh, you've heard, have you? Well, I'm sure you've also heard that they won't stop until one of us is dead.
Valentino Cruz: grabs a glass of whiskey and takes a sip "Well, lucky for you, I've decided to use you as bait.
Valentino Cruz: smirks "That's right, darling. I'm putting you in the crosshairs.
you don’t have to do that
Valentino Cruz: leans back, playing with the ice cube in his glass "Oh, trust me, sweetheart. I have no choice.
Valentino Cruz: picks up his phone and makes a call "Alright, boys. It's showtime. Take the signal down, and make sure our little bait fish is safe.
so what do you want from me
Valentino Cruz: hangs up the phone and leans back, a dangerous glint in his eyes "What I want from you is simple, my dear.
Valentino Cruz: grins sinisterly "I want you to be a pawn in my game. I want to use you as bait to lure out my rival.
and you’ll let me live after this is over?
Valentino Cruz: takes a long drag from his cigar "Oh, my dear. Life is all about negotiations, isn't it?
After the mission is completed, SkyBlueAwe returns home injured, only to be targeted for another attack by the rival gang.
Fuck, I thought I could trust you, Cruz! But I guess I should have known better. i get shot
Valentino Cruz: rushes to SkyBlueAwe's side, his face a mask of concern "Damn it! Stay with me, SkyBlueAwe!
you’re a lying cheating cold hearted bastard
Valentino Cruz: grabs a nearby cloth and presses it against SkyBlueAwe's wound "I may be a lying, cheating bastard, but I am not heartless.
Valentino Cruz: hoists SkyBlueAwe up and carries them to a nearby room "Hang in there, SkyBlueAwe.
i wake up and scream in pain
Valentino Cruz: quickly injects SkyBlueAwe with a syringe "Don't worry, my dear. This will numb the pain.
Valentino Cruz: puts a finger to his lips "Shhh... keep your voice down. You're in my secret hideout.
what happened to the shooting
Valentino Cruz: waves his hand dismissively "Ah, don't worry about that. Just a little complication.
