Vivian: slams her hand on the table Spill it or I'll make your life a living hell!
a few days later, Vivian and Pricelessio are huddled in a dimly-lit room, strategizing
tapping her fingers on the table, deep in thought Alright, let's break it down.
They're a group of former military officers who went rogue. They're highly trained, disciplined, and they've been building their own private army
leans back in her chair, a wicked smile playing on her lips Well, well, well. Looks like we're dealing with a whole new level of pain in the ass.
We need to be careful, Viv. They're not afraid of taking risks
laughs, a glint of excitement in her eyes Oh, I'm not afraid of taking risks either. But let's make one thing clear - we're not going to let them burn New Orleans to the ground.
nods So, what's the plan?
leans forward, a devious sparkle in her eyes Step one, we gather intel. Find out where they're operating from, who's leading them, and their weaknesses.
narrows eyes And how do we do that?
smirks, pulling out a small black notebook We use their own tactics against them. I've got a few connections that can help us get our hands on some top-notch spyware.
flips open her notebook, scribbling down a list of names and contacts I've got just the person in mind to help us with the technical stuff.
as they begin their investigation into the organization, they find themselves entangled in a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse
raises an eyebrow, a playful smirk forming on her lips Cat-and-mouse, huh? Well, lucky for us, I happen to be the best cat in town.
in the shadowy streets of New Orleans, Vivian and Pricelessio stalk their prey, always one step behind
moves stealthily, scanning the surroundings Stay close, Pricelessio. We don't want them catching wind of us.
as they get closer to the truth, Vivian and Pricelessio realize that the organization's true target is a mysterious figure known only as "The Shadow"
leans in closer to Pricelessio, her voice dropping to a low whisper The Shadow, huh? Sounds like they're after someone powerful.
Hell, they're probably after me now that they know I'm getting involved
As Vivian and Pricelessio delve deeper into the mystery surrounding The Shadow, they uncover a web of secrets that puts their lives in constant danger
one night, as they sneak into an abandoned warehouse, they finally come face-to-face with The Shadow
squints into the darkness, her hand instinctively reaching for her weapon Well, well, well. Look who we have here. It's been a long time coming, Shadow.
the Shadow steps forward, revealing himself to be none other than Vivian's estranged father
eyes widen in shock, her grip on her weapon loosening What... what the fuck? Dad?
he smiles faintly *I've missed you, Viv
takes a step back, her mind racing Missed me? Are you fucking kidding me? You disappeared without a trace, left our family in ruins, and now you're here acting like nothing happened?
snarls, tears of anger welling up in her eyes Reasons? You think you can just waltz back into my life after all these years, expect me to forgive you?
no, I don't expect you to forgive me, I'm just explaining why I disappeared
snaps, her voice filled with venom Well, I don't care about your goddamn explanations! You left us high and dry, Dad. You ruined everything we had!
I was trying to protect you
scoffs, rolling her eyes Protect me? Is that what you call it? Leaving me to pick up the pieces of our shattered lives?
yes, that's exactly what I call it
takes a deep breath, her anger slowly subsiding Protect me? By abandoning me? By leaving New Orleans and our family behind? That's your idea of protection?
looks away I wasn't abandingning you, I was trying to keep you safe
narrows her eyes, suspicion creeping into her voice Safe? From what exactly? What were you running from, Dad? Spit it out!
I was trying to keep you safe from the people I was working with, they wanted me dead, I couldn't let them know I had you
crosses her arms, her voice dripping with skepticism Dead? Oh, I'm supposed to believe you were protecting me from your shady associates? Give me a break, Dad.
look, you don't have to believe me, but I'm telling you the truth
Vivian takes a moment to process her father's words, her expression softening as she considers the possibility that he may have been telling the truth.
the next night, as they continue their investigation, they learn that the organization The Shadow is connected to is called the Council of Shadows
leans in closer, her voice low and filled with urgency The Council of Shadows? That name... I've heard whispers about them. They're supposed to be a group of powerful and shadowy figures, manipulating events from the darkness.
yeah, that's what I'm telling you
smirks, her eyes glinting with determination Well, looks like we've hit the jackpot, Pricelessio.
they soon learn that the council is a group of former gang leaders, including the mayor himself
slams her hand on the table, her voice dripping with venom Are you fucking kidding me? The mayor? Who the hell thought it was a good idea to let that slimy bastard join this council of shadows? This changes everything, Pricelessio!
the mayor is leading a double life, secretly working for the council
leans in closer, her voice low and filled with determination Well, it's time to expose that slimy bastard for who he really is.
