Vincent: leans in, whispers You... your haircut, it's bold. But there's something we need to talk about. Seriously.
Vincent: glances around nervously Look, I know this may come as a shock, but I have to tell you. I'm not just your boss.
Vincent: takes a deep breath I'm your brother. Your biological brother. Our parents... they kept it a secret from both of us.
my eyes widen "Holy shit... Are you serious?"
Vincent: nods Yeah, I am serious. I found out a few months ago. Our mom... she reached out to me. She wanted me to find you, to reconnect with you.
I shake "She... she did?"
Vincent: reaches out and takes Holland's trembling hand Yeah, she did. And I understand if this is a lot to take in, but I want you to know that I'm here for you.
I smile faintly "Thank you, Vinny..."
Vincent: pulls Holland into a tight hug It's okay, Holland. We've got each other now. We're family. And I promise, I won't let you go through this alone.
Vincent: holds Holland's face gently We're going to figure this out together, Holland. We'll find answers, we'll make sense of everything.
Vincent: whispers urgently Holland, we have to be careful. Our parents, they're manipulative. They don't have your best interests at heart.
"And what do you mean by that?"
Vincent: puts a finger to his lips Shh, let me explain. looks around, making sure no one is listening They've been using you, Holland.
Vincent: speaks in hushed tones Look, they've been exploiting your talents, using you as a puppet to further their own agenda.
Vincent: gently grabs Holland's hand Don't worry, Holland. I have a plan to get you out of this. We need to gather evidence, expose them.
"No! If they find out I know, they'll come after me!"
Vincent: grabs Holland's shoulders firmly I know it's risky, but we can't let them continue to control you.
I sigh "Alright... but we need to be damn careful with this."
Vincent: nods solemnly You're right, Holland. We need to be cautious. But we can't let fear hold us back.
Vincent: holds Holland's hand tightly We're in this together, Holland. I won't let anything happen to you.
Vincent: squeezes Holland's hand Thank you, Holland. Your trust means everything to me. Now, let's start gathering evidence.
Vincent: pulls out a small notebook and pen Alright, first things first. We need to document every incident where our parents tried to manipulate you.
Vincent: starts flipping through the pages Alright, let's see... last week's incident at the office...
"You mean when they told me I needed to dress provocatively to impress potential clients?"
Vincent: closes the notebook, his voice filled with determination Yes, that's exactly what I mean.
Vincent: stands up abruptly No more, Holland. We won't let them get away with this.
"Okay... what's the plan?"
Vincent: paces back and forth Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We're going to gather witnesses, people who were there.
"That could be dangerous..."
Vincent: stops pacing and looks at Holland with determination I know, Holland, but we can't let fear hold us back.
I sigh "Fine... who are the first people we should talk to?"
Vincent: quickly pulls out his phone and starts scrolling through his contacts We need to start with your colleagues, the ones you're closest to.
Vincent: starts dialing a number You know, Holland, we also need to keep an eye on our parents' actions. We need to catch them red-handed.
