runs his fingers through his hair, agitated It's just... it's just that these guys are after me, you know? They think I have something valuable.
how did you get involved with them?
paces back and forth, speaking rapidly Okay, listen up, bro. It all started when I was trying to make some quick cash, you know?
stuttering S-so, I got involved with this shady guy, okay? He promised me big bucks for delivering some, uh, "special packages".
Yeah, I know it sounds stupid now, but I was desperate, alright? I thought I could handle it, turn it into some easy cash.
Oh, you have no idea, man! It went wrong faster than a shot! See, this shady dude, he turned out to be some kind of criminal mastermind!
clenches fists, agitated Yeah, turns out he was some kind of international fugitive or something!
starts pacing faster, speaking louder I mean, seriously, I thought I was in the clear!
runs hands through hair, speaking quickly Well, turns out, bro, I was living in a bubble!
stops pacing, eyes wide with realization Look, Archimann, I didn't know at the time, but this shady dude had set me up!
eVan gets shot by the shady dude in the chest, collapsing to the ground, bleeding profusely
gasping for breath, clutching his chest G-gotta... gotta get away... struggles to stand, grabbing his phone Call... call someone... h-help...
