Veronica: smirking, hands on hips Ain't this a sight for sore eyes? You set up the camera, huh?
yea I did. I said what I had to say on that other post I made.
raises an eyebrow So, you finally decided to join us? Took you long enough. grabs a cigarette from her pocket
yea well I'm here now. I walk back into the shadows
follows Trantato into the shadows You know, I never expected you to come back. Thought you'd find another gig, maybe something less... complicated.
I do fine I just know when I'm needed so. Yea I guess you could say I'm still a little bit involved.
leans against a wall, crossing her arms Involved, huh? Well, good to know. Just remember, our line of work doesn't exactly allow for taking breaks.
narrows her eyes You better be aware, Trantato. This isn't some game we're playing here. People's lives hang in the balance.
yea people's lives are always on the line in this line of work.
pauses, then sighs Yeah, I guess you're right. It's just... I've seen so many lives lost, Trantato. And I don't want that to happen to anyone else.
everyone dies sometime. I smile sadly
softens her expression Yea, I guess you're right. But that doesn't mean we have to give up hope. We've got to keep fighting, no matter how tough it gets.
yea that is the best way to put it. I smile widely before walking away quietly
watches Trantato walk away, then takes a deep breath Fighting... it's all we can do. straightens her shoulders and steps forward with determination
checks her watch Alright, it's time. We need to meet up with the rest of the team. Trantato, let's move. We've got work to do.
As Veronica and Trantato meet up with the rest of the team, they discover that their mission has taken a dangerous turn. The target, a high-ranking government official, has learned about their operation and is now fighting back.
narrows her eyes Well, damn indeed. Looks like we've got ourselves a real shitstorm on our hands. Alright, team, listen up.
paces back and forth, thinking quickly Alright, here's the plan. We need to regroup and come up with a new strategy. We can't let this fucker catch us off guard.
ok let's head to the safe house.
quickly grabs her phone and starts dialing I'm calling our contacts, trying to get some backup.
ok. we manage to get to the safe house
slams the door shut behind them Alright, team, we need to brainstorm. What are our options here?
I'm not sure but I guess we could try hitting him where it hurts.
throws her hands up in frustration Dammit, Trantato! We can't just blindly attack without a plan. We need to gather more intel on our target.
he's got a lot of body guards. I notice some pictures tacked up on the wall
points to the pictures Those bodyguards... we need to find out everything we can about them. Names, backgrounds, weaknesses... anything that could help us take them down.
ok. I start looking over the info
quickly starts searching through the information, her fingers flying across the papers Alright, let's see... John Doe, one of the target's personal bodyguards.
oh boy. I laugh nervously he used to be a circus stunt man.
raises an eyebrow A circus stunt man, huh? Interesting... Maybe we can use that against him.
if you can figure something out I'm all ears.
smirks mischievously Well, how about we give him a little taste of his own medicine?
leans in closer, speaking in a low voice We hire a skilled acrobat to kidnap his daughter.
