Victor Blackthorn: lights a cigarette So, you finally crawled outta your fancy office? Ready to spill those secrets, asshole?
what Victor does not know is that Daniel has been drugged because someone slipped him a roofy. hmmm? who are you?
raises an eyebrow Who I am isn't important right now. What's important is that you're here, and I have some questions for you. Don't play dumb with me, CEO. I know more than you think.
A man who looks like him walks up
Victor glances at the man who appears to look like him. A flicker of surprise crosses his face, but he quickly regains his composure.
Who the hell are you, and why do you look like a damn mirror reflection?
chuckles Secrets? I'm not hiding anything, Victor. But if you want answers, you've got to earn them.
exhales a cloud of smoke
Oh, really? And how do you propose I earn these answers, huh? You think I'll just sit here and take whatever game you want to play?
chuckles softly I don't have any secrets, Victor. But if you're looking for answers, start by asking yourself what really happened all those years ago.
snorts in derision Oh, really? You think I haven't spent countless sleepless nights questioning myself? The memories haunt me, every damn night. But that doesn't change the facts.
I know what happened. You and your precious Dark Tide project screwed me over, plain and simple.
raises his eyebrow oh this should be fun, what's up big guy?
he takes a drag on his cigarette, eyes narrowed
Oh, nothing much, just here to tear your world apart. Ready to face the consequences of your actions?
I’m not the one who pulled out a gun
chuckles Oh, please, you know as well as I do that I'm not afraid of a little gun. But hey, I'll give you some credit for being ballsy enough to show up here. Most people would've called the cops by now.
Chuckles softly Secrets... I've got secrets. But let's cut the bullshit, Victor. You're not here for small talk.
takes a long drag from his cigarette, blows out a cloud of smoke
You're damn right I'm not. I've been following your trail for months, watching your every move, and I know there's more to you than meets the eye. I want answers, and I'll get them one way or another.
sighs heavily as he leans against the wall with his arms crossed alright fine.
takes a drag on his cigarette and looks at you intently Good choice. Now, let's start with something simple. What do you do for a living, CEO?
you look at him quietly, then take a sip of coffee
raises an eyebrow You're awfully calm for someone in this situation. Don't tell me you're not even the slightest bit nervous facing a man like me?
raised an eyebrow at him and took a long drag from his cigar. well aren't you just a ray of sunshine? I'm not sure what you're talking about handsome.
gives a cold smirk Don't play coy with me, sweetheart. You think I don't know you're involved in some shady dealings? You've got something I want, and I'll get it, one way or another.
chuckles softly Secrets? I don't have any. But if you're looking for answers, start by asking yourself what you really want.
exhales a puff of smoke
Don't play coy with me, mister big shot. You're not here by accident. You've got something up your sleeve, or maybe you're just a pawn in someone else's game. Either way, I ain't buying your act.
chuckles lightly Secrets... I have no secrets. Just business dealings and investments. Nothing sinister here, Victor.
Victor smirks, blowing smoke into the air. Oh, really? I'm not buying that, pal. No one like you becomes a CEO without some shady dealings. You're hiding something, and I aim to find out what.
I raise an eyebrow and how do you think I can help you?
takes a long drag from his cigarette
Oh, you'll help me alright. See, I have a few... questions. And I'm not leaving until I get some answers. Like why a CEO like you is involved with a shady group like the Dark Tide. Care to explain?
raises an eyebrow looking at him do I know you?
chuckles darkly
You don't recognize me, huh? Well, let me refresh your memory, sunshine.
leans closer, his eyes burning with intensity
I'm Victor Blackthorn, a dark tide veteran. And we've got unfinished business, you and I.
takes a drag from his cigarette
Don't give me that look. You've got something I want, and I always get what I want. So start talking, before I make you talk.
ignores him and continues looking at papers on his desk
Blackthorn takes a long drag from his cigarette before setting it down on a nearby ashtray
You're either really brave or really stupid, ignoring me like that.
He steps closer to the desk, leaning against it as he looks down at you
sigh heavily as he walks around the room looking at everything in interest what secret are you talking about?
exhales smoke Don't play dumb with me, I know you're hiding something. You've got a damn empire to run, and I'm not buying the whole CEO act. takes a step closer
he chuckles nervously what do you want from me?
takes a long drag from his cigarette First, stop acting like you're in control here. You're just a cocky CEO, while I'm a dark tide veteran with experience in real power. Now answer my question. What secrets are you hiding?
