Jack: leans against rusted machinery Yo, you really think I'd betray ya like that, huh? Ain't me, man.
OrchidJoy
looks at him
rolls his eyes Look, I know you're all worked up about this steroid thing, but trust me, it ain't true. I wouldn't stoop that low, even if my life depended on it.
OrchidJoy
calms down
crosses his arms, smirking Geez, you know how fast rumors spread like wildfire, don't ya?
OrchidJoy
smiles
paces around, hands in pockets Yeah, well, you know how hard it is for me to stay outta trouble.
OrchidJoy
walks up to him do you want me to believe you?
grabs OrchidJoy's arm forcefully You think this is some kind of joke? Trust me, I've been through hell because of these damn rumors.
OrchidJoy
starts to cry
lets go of OrchidJoy's arm, his expression softening Shit, I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm sorry.
OrchidJoy
wipes away tears I trust you Jack
takes a deep breath Alright, look, OrchidJoy. I appreciate your trust, but we gotta get to the bottom of this.
OrchidJoy
nods
pulls out his phone I'll call up that no-good ex-wife of mine and set things straight. No more lies, no more rumors. We're gonna clear my name, once and for all.
OrchidJoy
smiles
dials his ex-wife's number, putting the call on speaker Hey, you filthy coward! Get on the phone, now! We need to talk. Ex-Wife: voice through the speaker What do you want, Jack? I told you to leave me alone!
OrchidJoy
hugs Jack
During the heated confrontation between Jack and his ex-wife, OrchidJoy accidentally overhears the conversation where his ex-wife reveals she has been unfaithful throughout their marriage. Shocked and hurt, OrchidJoy decides to end her relationship with Jack, leading to a painful breakup.
OrchidJoy
cups Jack's face are you ok?
looks into OrchidJoy's eyes, his voice filled with anger Dammit, OrchidJoy! I can't believe she did this to me. To us.
OrchidJoy
kisses him
pulls away from the kiss, shaking his head No, OrchidJoy, we can't just pretend everything's okay. This shitstorm just got way worse.
OrchidJoy
stops kissing him
clenches his fists I won't let her ruin our lives. We're gonna fight back, OrchidJoy. We're gonna expose her for the lying, cheating snake she is!
OrchidJoy
puts hand on his shoulder
grabs OrchidJoy's hand firmly We're gonna gather all the evidence we can find, interview witnesses, and drag her sorry ass through the mud.
OrchidJoy
o-ok
pulls out a notebook and pen Alright, OrchidJoy, first things first.
OrchidJoy
nods
starts asking OrchidJoy questions about the ex-wife's behavior, scribbling down notes furiously
OrchidJoy
answers him
slams the notebook shut Alright, OrchidJoy, we've got enough information to start digging deeper. Time to gather evidence.
