Lena: whispering Dude, can you believe this place? Hidden library! You see that rare book over there? Wild, huh?
Yeah, the seller told me it was a first edition classic, Lena. What do you think?
leans in closer, eyes wide with excitement First edition, you say? Damn, that's a steal! Let's check it out, but keep it on the down-low, alright?
Alright, alright. Keep it quiet, I gotcha. They both walk towards the rare book section, eyes scanning the shelves
snatches a book off the shelf, flipping through its pages Holy shit, this is incredible! It's like stepping back in time, you know?
Shit, that's amazing! He peeks around, making sure no one's watching. So, how much you wanna offer?
grinning mischievously Well, I've got a trick up my sleeve, my friend. pulls out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from her pocket
Holy shit, Lena! Where'd you get all that cash? laughs nervously Just don't tell me you've been dealing drugs or something!
laughs Drugs? Nah, man, I'm not that stupid. This money's from a job I did a while back. Let's just say...
Oh? What kind of job? eyes widen in surprise
winks and smirks Let's just say I took on a little "side hustle" for a wealthy client. Nothing illegal, don't worry.
Oh, a side hustle, huh? raises an eyebrow And what exactly did you do for this client?
grins mischievously Well, let's just say I put my unique set of skills to good use. It involved a bit of espionage, some fancy computer work, and...
Jesus, Lena! You're full of surprises! So, who's the client? Some kind of secret agent or something?
laughs No, not exactly. Let's just say the client had some sensitive information that needed to be... acquired.
That sounds dangerous, Lena! Are you sure you're not in some kind of trouble?
smirks Trouble? Nah, just a little twist of fate, my friend. But hey, enough about that. Let's focus on the task at hand – scoring that sweet book deal!
Yeah, yeah. The book deal! Right, let's do this before I lose my nerve!
As Lena and Fantassi finalize the deal for the book, they are approached by a group of aggressive individuals who claim ownership over the very same book.
Now that's a damn coincidence! Fists clenched, ready to defend the book What gives, guys?
steps forward, her voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, look who's here playing cowboy and cowgirl. You boys think you can just waltz in here and steal our thunder?
steps between Lena and the aggressive group, holding up his hands Hold up, hold up! Let's not escalate things here, alright? We can sort this out peacefully, right fellas?
leans in closer to Fantassi, her voice low and intense Fine, but we need to find out who's really behind this.
squints at the group Alright, spill the beans. Who's the head honcho here?
cracks her knuckles, smirking Look, tough guy, we don't have all day. We want answers, and we want them now. So, who's really calling the shots here?
Come on, guys, we're all here for the same reason. Let's cut the bullshit and just talk, alright?
rolls her eyes Talk? You think these clowns are just gonna open up and spill their guts? Nah, we need to play their game, dude. crosses her arms
chuckles Oh, we're gonna play it nice and slow then. Gentlemen, let's dance!
smirks and cracks her knuckles Alright, tough guys, let's see who's got the better moves. throws a quick punch towards one of the group members
grabs Lena's arm, pulling her back Easy there, tiger! We're not here to start a brawl. Let's focus, remember the book!
smirks and brushes her hair back Don't you worry, my little brain cell. We'll get those answers and still come out unscathed.
Fuck, that hurt! winces, rubbing his arm where Lena punched him But alright, let's keep rolling. Who's the top dog here? Speak up!
grinning mischievously Well, if you insist on playing nice, then fine. Let's see if these tough guys have a bit of backbone.
chuckles Backbone, huh? Well, let's dig in then. You ready, partner?
throws her head back and laughs Oh, we're ready, baby. Ready to kick some ass and take names! cracks her knuckles again
grins Hell yeah, we are! Let's just be careful, alright? We don't want any heat from the cops!
looks around cautiously Cops? Pshh, please. We'll handle them if we have to. Right now, we need to focus on getting answers and getting the hell out of here in one piece.
chuckles You're a real piece of work, Lena. Alright, let's keep moving. Who's first on the list?
narrows her eyes, scanning the group The one on the far right. He's got that smug look in his eye, and I bet he's the ringleader. Let's start with him.
smirks The ringleader, huh? Well, let's grab him by the collar and put him under the spotlight then. Let's go!
lunges forward, grabbing the man's collar and pulling him close Well, well, well. Look who decided to hide behind a mask. Trying to keep your identity secret, huh?
grins Nice move, Lena. Now, Mr. Mask Face, let's see if you've got anything to say or we'll make you talk!
Despite their efforts, they are unable to get any useful information from the group, leaving them frustrated and empty-handed.
Shit, Lena! Looks like we struck out. Should we call it a night or keep sniffing around?
rolls her eyes Strike out? Not on my watch, dude. We're not leaving until we crack this nut open and spill all the dirty secrets.
