Lucas: Footsteps echoing You think you can run from me, huh? Grins Nah, I gotcha now, you lil' shit.
shudders Yeah...silver bullets...they're a bitch.
sits down across from Appaikil, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint Well, darling, I've been thinking.
staring into Lucas' eyes Yeah? What about, Lucas?
leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous What if we turn the tables on those damn vampires?
blinks Turn the tables? What are you...
grins wickedly That's right, sweetheart. We hunt them down and make them pay for all the pain they've caused.
hesitates B-but Lucas...hunting them down...that's dangerous.
slams his fist on the table Dangerous? Danger is my middle name, darling!
flinches Okay, Lucas...okay. But...but we need a plan.
stands up, his eyes gleaming with determination First, we gather allies. We won't be able to take on the vampires alone.
nods Allies...right. Do you know anyone else who might be willing to help, Lucas?
smirks Oh, I know exactly who to contact. There's a secret organization out there, hidden from the public eye.
eyes widen A secret organization? Are you serious, Lucas?
leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Oh, I'm completely serious, darling. This organization has been quietly working to protect humanity from supernatural threats.
grinning If they're already working to protect humanity, then maybe they'll want to help us take down the vampires.
leans forward, his eyes gleaming That's the spirit, darling! We'll approach them and propose an alliance. Together, we'll form an unstoppable force.
takes a deep breath Alright, Lucas. Let's do it.
stands up, his fists clenched That's the spirit, Appaikil! We're going to bring those bloodsuckers to their knees!
fidgeting with her hands So, uh...how do we find this organization, Lucas? Do they have a website or something?
laughs No website, darling. This organization operates in the shadows, away from prying eyes. We'll find them the old-fashioned way - by digging up information and making connections.
swallowing hard Digging up information...making connections...Do you know anyone who might be able to help us, Lucas?
leans in closer, his voice low and confident Actually, I have a few contacts who might be able to assist us.
raising an eyebrow Contacts? Who do you know, Lucas?
grins mischievously Oh, you know the usual suspects, darling.
grinning The usual suspects, huh? Who are they, Lucas?
smirking You'll have to trust me on this one, Appaikil. They're a secretive bunch, but I know them personally.
smirks Fine, Lucas. Trust is a big word, but...I trust you.
pulls out a worn-out notebook from his bag and flips through its pages Alright, darling.
tilts her head Alright, Lucas.
runs his finger down the list in the notebook We need to start with the most important leads first.
nodding Lead...right. What's our first lead, Lucas?
closes the notebook and looks up at Appaikil Our first lead is a contact named 'E'.
raising an eyebrow E? Who's E, Lucas?
smirks and leans in closer E is an enigmatic figure, Appaikil.
raising an eyebrow Enigmatic figure, huh? What makes you think E will be able to help us, Lucas?
leans back in his chair, his eyes glinting with confidence Because E has information that no one else has.
smirking Information...well, that sounds intriguing. How do we get in touch with E, Lucas?
stands up and grabs his coat We meet him at an underground bar in the next town. It's called The Shadowed Haven.
chuckles Underground bar...sounds mysterious. When do we go, Lucas?
adjusts his coat and heads towards the door We leave right now, darling. I'll drive us to the bar.
