NC blue alert's got this place hoppin'. Bet you're like a cat on a hot tin roof, huh?
Yeah, like a cat... only I don't land on my feet. Looks over to Vic, eyes filled with a mix of anger and sadness.
Guess we both know what it's like to fall flat on our faces. But hey, I didn't come here to talk about our past, right? Avoids eye contact
Right…we here about the situation.
Yeah, situation's looking grim. We've got a ticking time bomb here, and I'm not talking about the authorities. Nervously checks surroundings
Gee, ya think?! It’s okay Vic…listening to radio in car….looming large for you…LOPEZ. sighs deeply, sitting against wall, taking a smoke from joint. BTW….you can stop looking around…they probably already here….takes another hit, exhaling slowly. Wait……what was the situation again?
Alright, listen up. We've got some seriously sketchy shit going down here. There's a package that went missing during the blue alert, and it contains some highly classified information. We need to find it before it falls into the wrong hands. Glances around nervously
Okay, then let’s get cracking. Any idea where this package might be stashed? looking around If someone took this package…it could have been anyone…anywhere…I hate this. Whatever…we need to find this fast. Even if we never even see what’s in it…it could be the key that keeps us from prison…even death….we have to find this package….I see movement…look over at the door. Shit…it’s not just us here… company coming…time to make some new friends…
Alright, listen up, Lopez. We can't afford any mistakes here. We need to stay calm and follow my lead.
got it….best plan…..he isn’t far behind. Hides among crates, gun ready
Whispers Alright, Lopez. When they enter, you stay low and let me handle it. Remember, they're likely armed and dangerous.
Got it, bro….don’t get popo on us…..whispers back. 2….1…enter….
Steps out from behind the crates, holding up a hand in a signal for Lopez to wait Hold on, I've got an idea.
We can use their own technology against them. I noticed they left a laptop unattended earlier.
That’s our ticket….just don’t mess around with it. These tech people are insane…if it’s rigged, it’ll blow us sky high. Make sure it’s disconnected before you start.
Don't worry, Lopez. I know what I'm doing. I'll make sure it's safe and disconnected before I access any information. Trust me, I've done this before.
Okay…..watching Vic approach the laptop, listening intently. Good….as Vic starts hacking into the laptop, no password…fucking amateurs. And their Wi-Fi is broadcasting……easy…..goes silent again as Vic listens in. Shit! This is where they keeping everyone. All these IP addresses on here….”collaborators”…fuck….other than our package, where’s the missing person they’re looking for?
Hold on, Lopez. I think I found something. Focuses on the screen, typing rapidly
Found what? Speak up. This whole damn thing could blow at any moment….watches intently. Tell me quickly…what’d you find?. We need this package!
I've located the missing person. They're being held in a warehouse just a few blocks away. We need to move quickly and quietly if we want to rescue them and retrieve the package. Continues typing, gathering information
Fuck…where’s their guard?? Where’s the easy way in??? Get everything you can….like who’s holding this person….how many armed personnel…..what kind of weapons they’re packing…any extra ammo stockpiled…..anything! listening to Vic’s typing intently
Alright, Lopez. Here's the deal. The missing person is being held by a group called "The Shadows". They're a notorious gang known for their ruthless tactics.
