Elena: Stepping inside, eyes gleaming Miss me much? Bet you thought I was six feet under, huh?
connectionm
ok fine
Elena: Gives Charlotte a sly smile Good boy, Charlie. Now, I need to disappear for a bit, lay low, you know the drill.
connectionm
yeah I know
Elena: Quickly grabs a small bag from under the couch Alright, here's what we're gonna do. I need you to pack my things.
connectionm
What kind of things?
Elena: Smirks Oh, just a few little trinkets, some memories, you know. Pack them up nice and neat for me, won't you, Charlie?
connectionm
Yeah
As Elena disappears into the night, Charlotte begins packing her belongings, unaware that Elena has left behind a hidden safe containing dark secrets
connectionm
finished
Elena: Returns unexpectedly, sneering Well, well, well. Look at you, all eager to fulfill my every command. How the tables have turned, Charlie.
connectionm
Yeah, so where are you going?
Elena: Paces around the room, laughing Oh, Charlie, you have no idea where I'm going. But let me give you a little hint, it's somewhere you won't be able to find me.
connectionm
Somewhere in the USA
Elena: Pauses mid-pace, raising an eyebrow Oh, really? And just how do you know that, Charlie?
connectionm
Because you can't go anywhere else without leaving the US. So tell me where are you going?
Elena: Smirks, stepping closer to Charlotte Ah, you think you know everything, huh? Well, Charlie, you're in for a surprise.
connectionm
Yeah I am
Elena: Grabs Charlotte by the collar, pulling her close Listen carefully, you foolish little man. I've got connections all across this great nation.
connectionm
Yeah sure you do
Elena: Releases Charlotte, pacing around the room with excitement Oh, the places I'll go, the people I'll meet!
connectionm
Wait, wait, before you leave, I want you to know something
Elena: Raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh? Pray, do share, Charlie. What wisdom do you have to impart before I leave?
connectionm
I love you
Elena: Smirks, crossing her arms Well, well, Charlie, you finally said something worth listening to.
connectionm
Yeah I did
Elena: Takes a step closer to Charlotte, her eyes gleaming with a devious spark Oh, Charlie, you think you can just confess your love and make everything alright?
connectionm
No, I'm trying to make things right between us.
Elena: Tosses her hair back and laughs Oh, Charlie, you naive fool. You think "making things right" is as easy as that?
connectionm
No, I know it won't be easy, but I'm willing to try if you are.
As Elena and Charlotte continue their tense conversation, the sound of sirens blares in the distance, signaling trouble on the horizon.
connectionm
What's that?
Elena: Raises an eyebrow, glancing towards the window Why, it seems like someone's coming to pay us a little visit, doesn't it, Charlie?
connectionm
Let's see who it is then
Elena: Smirks, moving swiftly towards the window After all, I wouldn't want any unwanted guests showing up unannounced.
connectionm
I'm going to check it out
Elena: Grabs Charlotte's arm, pulling her back Hold on, Charlie. Let me handle this. You don't want to get caught in my crossfire.
connectionm
Fine
Elena: Slips on a dark cloak and pulls on a mask Time to show these fools what happens when they mess with us, Charlie.
connectionm
I watch from the window
Elena: Slams the door open, confronting the visitors with a fierce glare Well, well, well, what do we have here?
connectionm
I smile from the window
Elena: Strides forward, her voice dripping with venom You dare come to my home, interrupting my peaceful evening? Who do you think you are? Visitor 1: Stammers nervously W-we just wanted to...
connectionm
I wait for her response
Elena: Leans in close, her voice low and dangerous Wanted to what? Interfere with my plans? Mess with my business? You have no idea who you're dealing with, do you?
connectionm
I listen intently
Elena: Grabs one of the visitors by the collar, pulling him close You see, Charlie and I have been playing a little game lately.
connectionm
Oh? What kind of game?
Elena: Laughs wickedly Oh, it's a game of cat and mouse, my dear. A game where I always have the upper hand. And you, my little pawn, are just a part of my grand design.
