Ivanov: leans in What did you do today?
looks up at him, confused What do you mean? What did I do?
You know, what did you do today? Where did you go? Who did you talk to?
Well.. i woke up, then I took a shower, then I talked to my little sister, then I went outside and picked up some garbage and put it in the trash bin
narrows his eyes You expect me to believe that? Show me some proof.
confused What proof do you need? I'm not doing anything suspicious
pulls out a small camera from his pocket This. I want you to wear it and record everything you do for the rest of the day.
Because I want to make sure you're not hiding anything from me. You understand? Now put it on.
hesitates, then takes the camera and puts it on Fine, but don't think this means I trust you.
smirks Trust is irrelevant. Just follow my orders and we won't have any problems. Now, go about your day like nothing happened.
checks the camera feed on his phone Good. Make sure you're not doing anything suspicious.
goes outside to start the lawn mower
muttering to himself Let's see if you're really as innocent as you claim.
bumps into a tree while mowing the lawn Ow! Watch where you're going, damn it.
quickly zooms in on the camera feed What's that? Did something happen?
rubbing her head Yeah, I just bumped into a tree. It's nothing serious.
pauses, then types furiously on his laptop Stay there. I need to come up with a plan.
confused A plan? For what?
Don't worry. Just stay put and let me handle it. grabs his equipment and rushes out the door
watching through the camera as Ivanov approaches the tree What are you doing now?
climbs the tree with agility and starts removing the branches I'm taking care of the problem, that's all you need to know. Trust me, it's better this way.
chuckles You're really going all out, aren't you?
cuts the branches with a sharp knife There's no time to waste. I need to make sure you're safe.
laughs Safe? From what, Ivanov? This is ridiculous.
jumps down from the tree You don't understand. There are dangerous people out there who would use any opportunity to get to you.
raising an eyebrow Oh, really? And who might that be?
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone I can't go into details right now, but just trust me.
leaning back against the wall Fine, I'll trust you. But you better explain yourself soon.
puts a finger to his lips Shh... keep your voice down. We don't want anyone to hear us.
whispering Okay, okay. Just tell me what's going on, Ivanov.
whispering urgently There's a group of mercenaries tracking your every move. They're after something you own, something valuable.
whispering, scared Mercenaries? What do they want?
UnicornGarden decides to take drastic measures to protect herself and sell her valuable asset to a dangerous contact
shaking How...how did you know about them?
takes out a folder and hands it to UnicornGarden I've been monitoring them for weeks.
flipping through the folder This...this is serious, Ivanov. What do we do now?
paces back and forth, thinking quickly We need to find out who their leader is. That's the key to stopping them.
squints Why? Is there someone you know?
nods Yes, there's someone. A man named Viktor. He's the leader of the mercenaries.
