Marco: eyes widen, a hesitant step forward You-You're here! Didn't expect to... to see you at the airport!
InterviewIss

starts speaking rapidly, flipping through the pages of his notebook Okay, we've got Luigi, Vinnie, and Marco.
InterviewIss

taps his pen impatiently Yeah, well, it doesn't matter who they are! We need to come up with a plan to pay them off!
InterviewIss
ok
scribbles furiously in his notebook Alright, here's what we'll do. First, we need to gather as much money as possible.
InterviewIss
we need time
As Marco and InterviewIss begin to devise a plan to pay off Marco's debts, they realize that their actions may put them in danger.
InterviewIss
woah
slams his fist on the table Danger or not, we don't have a choice! These guys won't give me a break until I pay them every cent I owe!
InterviewIss
shut up your being reckless you idiot
narrows his eyes, his voice filled with determination You think I'm reckless? Well, you haven't seen anything yet!
InterviewIss
sigh
grabs InterviewIss's arm tightly Listen to me, researchmuse. We're in this together now. If I go down, you go down.
InterviewIss
wait what
releases InterviewIss's arm and paces back and forth Look, I know I've dragged you into this mess, but I promise you, I'll protect you.
InterviewIss
yea but how do you plan to protect me?
grabs his suitcase and starts rummaging through it I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, researchmuse.
InterviewIss
like what?
pulls out a small black box and opens it, revealing a gun Like this, researchmuse. I've got a little insurance policy of my own.
InterviewIss
oh great now were dealing with a criminal
smirks and waves the gun in the air Criminal or not, I know how to handle myself. Trust me, researchmuse, I won't let anything happen to you.
InterviewIss
great
slams his hand on the table, his voice full of urgency But enough talking! We need to act fast before those goons come looking for me.
InterviewIss
looks at him with disappointment
grabs InterviewIss's arm again, his grip firm Look, I know I messed up in the past, but I'm trying to make things right now.
InterviewIss
whatever
takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself Alright, here's what we're going to do.
InterviewIss

points towards the door We're going to get out of here. Grab your things, and follow me.
InterviewIss
waits so what happens to me?
rolls his eyes You'll be coming with me, of course! Do you really think I'd leave you alone in this mess?
InterviewIss
no not exactly
snatches up his suitcase and heads towards the exit Trust me, researchmuse, I have a plan. Just stick with me and keep your head down.
InterviewIss
follows
whispering urgently Stay close, researchmuse. We can't afford any mistakes.
InterviewIss
yes captain
As Marco and InterviewIss make their escape, they find themselves cornered by the gangsters who are hot on their trail. In a desperate move, Marco decides to hide the stolen money in an unexpected place - InterviewIss's body.
InterviewIss
looks at marco you've got to be kidding me
swallows nervously, his eyes darting around I know it's extreme, but it's our only chance! Hide this box in your stomach, now!
InterviewIss
what?
grabs InterviewIss's jacket and rips open the buttons There's a hidden pocket inside. Quickly, put the box in there!
