Viktor Marconi: glancing at door U sure no one followed? Can't have any slip-ups. Rly need this time off.
narrows his eyes, scanning the surroundings Vargas, I need you to be absolutely certain. No one should know we're here.
leans closer, voice low and serious Trust is a luxury we can't afford, Vargas. We're playing a dangerous game here. One slip-up and it's over for both of us.
Well then I hope that I haven’t messed up
snaps his fingers Quick, check the perimeter! Make sure we're alone. No fuckin' surprises. Now!
goes outside to check the perimeter
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Come on, come on... gotta make sure we're secure. No loose ends. glances at his watch
returns after checking the perimeter looks good
grabs a cigarette and lights it up Good. But we can't let our guard down just yet.
takes a deep drag from his cigarette, exhaling slowly Alright, Vargas. We've secured the perimeter for now. But we need to stay vigilant.
sits down across from Vargas We need to discuss our next move. We can't stay hidden forever. We need a plan to expand our operations, to grow our influence. What do you suggest, Vargas?
I say we stick to the shadows a bit longer
leans back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table Good, good. Playing it safe is always the best option in our line of work.
slams his fist on the table No! We can't keep hiding, Vargas! We need to take control, assert our dominance! We need to expand, and fast!
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth A solid plan, huh? Well, I've got a plan.
pauses dramatically, then leans in close to Vargas Alright, listen up. Here's the plan. We're going to infiltrate the Port of Long Beach.
That’s a tough place to infiltrate
smirks Tough, yes. Impossible, no. We'll start by gathering intel on the port's security measures.
And how exactly are we gonna do that?
leans in closer, speaking in a low, gravelly tone We'll have a mole, someone on the inside who can provide us with firsthand information.
pulls out a small notebook and pen, flipping through the pages Alright, let's start by listing down the key players in the Port of Long Beach.
quickly scans through the list, crossing off names We'll need to eliminate these individuals. They're too risky.
Then what about the rest of the people on the list
points to a name on the list This guy, Mr. Thompson, he owes us a favor. I say we reach out to him, offer him something valuable in exchange for his help.
That sounds like a good idea
slams his fist on the table, grinning Excellent, Vargas! Now, we need to put our best foot forward and make Mr. Thompson an offer he can't refuse. Let's gather some assets and strike a deal. What do you say?
grabs his coat and heads towards the door Good. Let's not waste any time, Vargas. We've got work to do.
steps outside, pulling out his phone First, we need to find a discreet location where we can meet with Mr. Thompson.
scrolls through his contacts, dialing a number Hey, Tony. It's me, Viktor. Yeah, I need your help. Listen, I need a private meeting spot. Somewhere undetectable.
pauses, listening intently Okay, Tony, I'll see you in 30 minutes. Make sure it's somewhere close to the Port.
starts walking briskly towards the car Come on, Vargas. We don't have time to waste. We need to get to that meeting spot sharp.
opens the car door, gesturing for Vargas to get in Get in, Vargas. We need to drive like hell to make it there on time.
starts the engine, revving it up Hang on tight, Vargas. We're about to go hell for leather.
