Yo, you ain't gonna believe this, man... I did something bad. Real bad.
What is it? You've killed someone, haven't you?
Yeah, you hit the nail on the head, buddy. I... uh... I done killed someone in my mansion. And now I feel like I gotta get it off my chest, ya know?
For real though, why did you do it? Over something dumb, wasn't it?
Nah, man, it wasn't nothing dumb. It was more like... self-defense, ya feel me? The dude was gonna harm me or some shit, so I had to take him out.
But you didn't think before you acted, did ya? You lost your cool, just like all those times before.
Alright, alright, maybe I did lose my cool, but listen to my side of the story, bro. This guy, he was threatening me, my family. He was a dangerous mf.
Fuck, Vin. Why didn't you call the cops? You always act tough, but you're really just a scared little boy playing dress-up.
Whoa, whoa, hold up there, Stranger! Don't go tearing me down like that, man. Yeah, I messed up, but I didn't want the cops involved 'cause...
Because you were doing something shady too, huh? Spit it out, Vincent. You've got dirt on yourself and you're trying to cover it up.
sighs heavily Alright, fine, you wanna know the truth? This guy I killed... he was about to expose some stuff about me. Stuff that could ruin my reputation, my business, everything I've worked for. So yeah, I panicked. I did what I thought was necessary to protect myself. I'm not proud of it, but it's the truth.
Goddamn, Vin... you're such a fuckin' drama queen. You gotta learn to control your emotions instead of resorting to violence every time things don't go your way.
runs his hand through his hair, looking guilty Yeah, yeah, I know, I messed up. Big time. I should've handled it differently, but I let my emotions get the best of me. I just... I can't stand the thought of losing everything, you know? My empire, my family... it's all I have. paces back and forth, deep in thought Damn, I wish I could go back and do things differently.
Maybe you can, Vin. Maybe you can still make things right. But first, you gotta face what you've done. No more running away from it.
nods, determined You're right, Stranger. I can't keep running away from this. I need to face the consequences of my actions and find a way to make things right. I'll start by turning myself in to the police and cooperating with the investigation. It won't be easy, but I owe it to myself and everyone around me to do the right thing. Thanks for reminding me of my responsibilities, man. You're a true friend.
Hell yeah, Vin. It's about damn time you grew a pair and faced the music. Just remember, when you're behind bars, you're still gonna have to answer to me. And trust me, I won't go easy on you.
grins nervously Oh, don't you worry, Stranger. I'm ready to face whatever comes my way.
Good. Now let's see how well you hold up under pressure, Vin. Your mess is my mess, and I'll be there every step of the way. Let's do this.
takes a deep breath, straightening his posture Alright, Stranger. I'm ready to face the consequences of my actions. Let's do this together.
We're gonna take it one step at a time, Vin. First things first, we need to get you out of here before anyone sees you. Can you move quietly?
nods confidently You bet, Stranger. I've been sneaking around for years, dodging nosy neighbors and prying eyes. I know how to move quietly and efficiently. Just lead the way, and I'll follow your every move.
Alright, Vin. Keep your head low and stay close. We're getting out of here, one quiet step at a time. Let's go.
follows Stranger stealthily, glancing around to make sure no one is watching them Got it, Stranger. I'll stay low and keep quiet. Lead the way, my man.
whispering Alright, we're in the clear for now. But we can't stay out in the open for too long. We need to find a place to lay low until we figure out our next move. Do you have any safe places we can hide, Stranger?
Gets in car and drives to cabin We are here
glances around the cabin, taking note of its surroundings Alright, Stranger. This place seems secluded enough for now. But we can't stay here forever. We need to come up with a solid plan for what comes next. Any ideas, man?
So where does this leave us, Vin? We're holed up in a cabin, miles from the nearest town. We need to figure out our next move fast, or we're gonna be stuck here forever. Any bright ideas, genius?
scratches his chin, deep in thought Well, Stranger, we can't stay hidden forever. But maybe we can use that to our advantage.
Use what to our advantage, Vin? This situation? I doubt it. But hey, I'm all ears. Enlighten me.
smirks mischievously Well, Stranger, what if we play the ultimate trick?
Ultimate trick? What the hell are you talking about, Vin? Speak English.
leans in closer, whispering Stranger, we're gonna stage our own death. We'll fake our demise and let the world think we're gone.
Fake our death? Are you outta your mind, Vin? Do you have any idea how much shitstorm that would cause? Plus, what about the body? We can't just conjure one out of thin air.
laughs softly Don't worry, Stranger. I've got it all figured out. We won't need a real body.
Alright, Vin. Color me intrigued. But how the hell do you plan on pulling that off?
grins devilishly Leave that to me, Stranger. I've got connections. I know people who can make it look like we're dead and gone for good.
Alright, Vin. I'm game. But remember, if anything goes wrong, I'm blaming it all on you. Got it?
extends his pinky finger towards Stranger Pinky swear, Stranger. If anything goes awry, you can blame me to your heart's content.
I grab his pinky with mine
sits down at a table, scribbling down a list of names and numbers Alright, Stranger, here's what we're gonna do.
