Jake: Grinning Boom! Look who’s back! Ready to rock this old stage again?
hey dude! you remember me, right?
takes a step forward, examining Alexander Huh? Can't say I do, dude. But hey, it's all good! Let's catch up!
its been years since we last hung out and I really miss you dude..
snaps his fingers Ah, I remember now! You're that guy who introduced me to the underground comedy club back in the day!
grabs Alexander's hand and starts pumping it Man, those were some wild times!
its so weird because I feel like we just saw each other yesterday..
leans in closer, lowering his voice Hey, you know why I disappeared off the grid for so long?
grins mischievously Well, my friend, let me tell you a little story about betrayal, deception, and survival!
betrayal? deception? survival? what are you talking about man..
starts pacing back and forth Okay, listen up, my dude. It all went down like this: I was on this secret mission, infiltrating this shady organization.
you were on a secret mission? infiltrating what kind of organization?
raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, you don't wanna know, my friend.
taps his foot rapidly Look, time is ticking, Alexander. I don't have time for all these questions.
gestures wildly with his hands See, this organization, they were into some serious shit, man! Drugs, weapons, human trafficking - the whole nine yards!
oh damn.. why did you have to get involved with them though?
Jake reveals that he was undercover, gathering evidence against the organization
wait what? you were gathering evidence against them? why?
pauses, takes a deep breath Look, Alexander, I didn't have a choice.
