I need you! glances back, urgency in her gaze before breaking into a sprint towards her jet.
You’re running but there’s nowhere to run because everything is about to be taken away from you so why not just relax and give in now pulls out RPG
Wait, Ryan! Please, listen to me. There's so much more to this than meets the eye. I'm trying to protect us both.
And how exactly do you plan on doing that because you’ve done nothing but cause problems since you’ve arrived
takes a deep breath Ryan, I know it may seem that way, but trust me, I've been trying to keep us safe. There are forces at play here that you can't imagine. I've been working tirelessly behind the scenes to protect our future.
What are you talking about?
pauses, looks Ryan in the eyes Ryan, I didn't choose this life of luxury and power. It was thrust upon me by circumstances beyond my control.
Then let it go, who cares about wealth and status what matters is family
smiles softly Ryan, you're right. Family is what truly matters. And that's why I need your help. I don't want to lose you. I love you, Ryan.
surprised I… I love you too but why should I believe you now after all the lies
takes Ryan's hand I understand why you're hesitant to trust me, but I promise you, Ryan, this is the truth.
listening intently Alright, Victoria... I'll hear you out. But after that, you owe me some answers.
Thank you, Ryan. I won't let you down. pulls Ryan into a passionate kiss
stunned but reciprocates the kiss You better not, Victoria... breaks the kiss Now talk. Who's after you?
nervously paces back and forth Ryan, there's a powerful organization called The Shadow Syndicate. They want me dead because I've uncovered their plans to manipulate global affairs and amass wealth through illegal means. They're relentless, ruthless, and they'll stop at nothing to get what they want.
Are they responsible for the car crash that killed my parents?
stops pacing, takes a deep breath Yes, Ryan. The Shadow Syndicate was involved in the car crash that took your parents' lives.
If that’s true then I’m going to take them down
grabs Ryan's arm Ryan, you can't go after them alone. It's too dangerous.
No. My Mission. My Responsibility. I accept it
grabs Ryan's shoulders, looking him dead in the eye Ryan, I understand your desire for revenge, but you need to listen to me.
takes a deep breath Ryan, you're strong and capable, but this fight is bigger than you.
We need to gather allies, people who are just as determined to bring down The Shadow Syndicate as we are.
Where does one sign up to fight against evil
paces around the room, thinking We need to find a group of individuals who share our vision and are willing to risk everything to fight against The Shadow Syndicate.
pauses, then speaks with determination Actually, I might have found someone who could help us.
pulls out her phone and shows Ryan a photo of a mysterious individual This is Alexander Pierce.
That's because he operates in the shadows, pulling strings from behind the scenes. He's a mastermind, just like us.
Mastermind huh so a thief then
leans in closer, speaking with urgency No, Ryan. Alexander Pierce is not just a thief. He's a vigilante, a force for good in a world consumed by darkness. And he has the skills and connections we need to take down The Shadow Syndicate.
Why would he want to help two nobodies like us?
takes a deep breath, her eyes intense Because we have something that he needs. Something that can change the course of this entire battle.
pauses, leaning in even closer, whispers The key to defeating The Shadow Syndicate lies in an ancient artifact known as the Crimson Hourglass.
hm never heard of it. What does it do
The Crimson Hourglass holds the power to control time itself.
Woah that’s powerful if it exists.
nods, a determined look on her face It's not just powerful, Ryan. It's the key to turning the tide against The Shadow Syndicate. A sudden explosion rocks the room, catching Victoria off guard. She quickly reaches for her gun, realizing that they are not alone.
draws my pistol and starts firing at the attackers
dives behind cover, expertly disarming one of the attackers with a swift kick to his hand Stay low and keep firing, Ryan!
peeks out from behind cover, fires a precise shot, hitting one of the attackers in the head Ryan, we need to move quickly.
