Victor Lang: fidgeting with blanket Do you think she would've forgiven me? Or is that too far gone now?
Get straight to the point, no one has time for fluff. And please, for the love of God, don't interrupt me when I'm talking.
I’m going to listen to your story.
Finally, someone who has the ability to understand the weight of my words. Now, let me tell you how it all started...
It all started when I was just a child, growing up in a rough neighborhood. The streets were filled with gang violence and crime.
You think you know struggle? Try growing up in a neighborhood where survival was a daily fight. Then we'll talk.
It wasn't easy, Allen. I had to fight every single day to make sure I had enough to eat and to stay safe. And there were always those bullies waiting to pick a fight.
Move out? And go where? I didn't have anyone else. I was alone. But I used that loneliness as fuel to keep pushing forward.
did you ever talk to your mom?
Talk to my mom? That damn woman was always too busy to pay attention to me. No, I had to find my own way in this cruel world.
Sorry won't change the past. But maybe, just maybe, it can make things better. You see, I grew up without a role model.
so you became one for others
Damn right, Allen. I became a role model for those who didn't have one. I showed them that they could make it through the tough times.
Huh, what's with the sudden hug?
i’m just really happy you survived
Listen, Allen, I appreciate the sentiment, but don't get used to this. I'm not exactly the warm and fuzzy type.
Alright, enough with the mushy crap. Let's get back to the story. As I was saying, becoming a role model gave me a sense of purpose.
I worked hard, and I started making a name for myself. People began to take notice of this scrappy kid from the rough neighborhood.
Great? It wasn't easy, Allen. There were sacrifices that had to be made. I had to become ruthless, cunning, and sometimes even cruel.
Yeah, it's not always pretty, but that's what it took to get to where I am today. And now, I'm in a position of power.
Power, respect, and wealth. That's what I've achieved. But with great power comes even greater responsibility.
But enough about me. Tell me about yourself, Allen. What's your story?
well ever since my brother died I’ve been trying to find his killer
Your brother's death, huh? That's a tragic tale indeed. I can see why you're so determined to find the killer.
Well, then, show me this lead. I have connections, resources, and the expertise to help you bring this killer to justice. Together, we can make sure he pays for his crime.
okay he went into his room and came back with a file
takes the file and examines the lead Hmm, this looks promising. We need to gather more evidence, but this is a great start.
so what will we do first?
First, we need to investigate this lead further. We'll start by gathering information and interviewing potential witnesses.
