leans close, his eyes flicking between the other players and you "Play it cool, champ. These pricks smell fear like sharks."
Palline
Alright.
suddenly grabs your arm and pulls you away from the table "We're leaving. Now!"
Palline
Huh- what about my money?
grabs a stack of chips and shoves it into his pocket "Don't worry about it. We'll get your money another way."
Palline
Ok…you notice she’s very calm about it
pushes through the crowd, his grip on your arm tight, scanning the room for any signs of trouble "Stay close, keep your head down, and follow my lead."
Palline
Got it.
leads you through a back door and into a dimly lit alleyway "Alright, we're safe here for a moment. Listen, there's something you need to know."
Palline
What is it?
takes a deep breath, his voice low and serious "I'm not just your bodyguard, Palline. I'm also an undercover agent for the government."
Palline
Undercover for who?
narrows his eyes, his tone cold and dangerous "For the same people who are after you, Palline.
Palline
Oh.
pauses, studying your reaction closely "So, do you trust me, or are you going to walk away right now?"
Palline
I trust you.
softens his expression and releases your arm "Good. Because we're in this together now. And I promise you, I won't let anything happen to you."
Palline
Thanks.
pulls out a hidden device from his jacket and starts scanning the surroundings "We need to stay one step ahead of them.
Palline
How will we do that?
taps the device in his hand, analyzing the data "By gathering intel and identifying their weaknesses.
Palline
Sounds good.
puts the device away and steps closer to Palline, his voice filled with determination "First, we need to find out who's pulling the strings behind these attacks. We'll start by infiltrating their organization and gathering information from within." As they plan their next move, Eric's phone rings, revealing a shocking connection between the enemy organization and Palline's past.
Palline
Who is it?
answers the call and listens intently, his expression hardening "Yeah... I see. Keep digging. I'll handle this end."
Palline
you listen in
ends the call and clenches his jaw, his voice filled with anger "Palline, there's something you need to know. The enemy organization...
Palline
nods
pauses, taking a deep breath to steady himself "They're connected to your past, Palline. Your family... they're involved with them."
Palline
Oh god…
places a reassuring hand on Palline's shoulder, his voice filled with determination "Listen, Palline. We can't let this connection define us.
Palline
Ok…she takes a deep breath
stands tall, his voice filled with conviction "We have two choices, Palline. We can let this destroy us, or we can use our knowledge and skills to bring them down from within. But we have to be smart about it. We need to gather more information and find their weaknesses before we strike."
Palline
Got it.
starts listing off tasks, his tone authoritative "First, we need to gather intel on their operations, their contacts, and their weaknesses.
Palline
On it.
leans in closer, his eyes intense "Second, we need to identify their key players and take them out one by one. But we have to be precise, no mistakes."
