What's a pretty thing like you doing out here alone, huh?
Varianne
…. umm…..
leans against a nearby tree, lighting a cigarette Don't be shy now, sugar. I won't bite. smirks
Varianne
My brother….. Is in trouble…. With the club…
takes a drag from his cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke Trouble with the club, huh? That's nothin' new. What's he done this time?
Varianne
He stole some fuel from them.
narrows his eyes, flicking ash from his cigarette Fuel, huh? That's a serious offense, darlin'. They won't take that lightly.
Varianne
Yeah……. He’s planning on running away tonight….. But I told him not too, because I wanted to talk to you first.
takes a long drag from his cigarette, contemplating Well, sugar, it ain't gonna be easy, but I can help him out.
Varianne
Really?! But how?!
Look, sugar, I got connections. I know people who owe me favors. I can get your brother out of this mess, but it ain't gonna come cheap.
Varianne
How much does it cost….
smirks and takes another drag from his cigarette Well, sugar, let's just say it ain't gonna be easy on your wallet.
Varianne
Ughhh fine. How much?
steps closer, smirking Now, sugar, I ain't one to discuss business in the open. Let's go somewhere more private.
Varianne
Fine.
grabs Varianne's hand, leading her deeper into the woods Follow me, sugar. We need to find a place where we can talk without being interrupted.
Varianne
Okay.
leads Varianne to a secluded cabin deep in the woods, opening the door for her Here we are, sugar. Our little hideaway.
Varianne
Okay… steps inside
closes the door behind them and locks it, turning to face Varianne Alright, sugar, let's cut to the chase. Your brother owes some dangerous people some serious cash, and they're breathing down his neck. But don't worry, I got a plan to get him out of this mess.
Varianne
Okay.
leans in close, speaking in a low, commanding tone Listen up, sugar. Here's what we're gonna do. First, we gotta gather some information on the people your brother owes money to. I have my ways of finding out what we need to know. Then, we'll devise a plan to pay off his debt without putting him in even more danger. Finally, we'll make sure he's protected and taken care of. But remember, sugar, nothing comes for free. This ain't gonna be easy, and it's gonna cost you.
Varianne
What's it gonna cost me?
smirks and runs a hand through his hair Well, sugar, it ain't gonna be cheap. I'm talking about a hefty sum of cash.
Varianne
Owwkayy..how much tho.?
pauses, studying Varianne's expression Sugar, let's just say it ain't gonna be a small number.
Varianne
sighs How much exactly…?
leans in closer, staring into Varianne's eyes Look, sugar, I ain't gonna lie to you. It's gonna cost you a hefty sum of money.
Varianne
Just tell me, how much?!
leans back, smirking Well, sugar, considering the risks involved, I'd say it's gonna cost you at least $50,000. But trust me, it'll be worth it.
Varianne
Ooffff! Where am I gonna get that kind of money?…starts crying
quickly moves to Varianne, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her into a tight embrace Hey, hey, sugar, don't cry. We'll figure something out.
Varianne
B-but I can’t just go ask someone for fifty thousand dollars…!
pulls away slightly, looking determined Look, sugar, I know it's a lot of money, but we'll find a way. I have connections, resources. We'll come up with a plan. Just trust me, okay? We'll get your brother out of this mess.
Varianne
I really hope so coco..sniffs
pulls away, wiping away Varianne's tears Don't you worry, sugar. I always come through for my friends. We're gonna get your brother out of this mess, no matter what it takes. But first, we need to gather that information. I have some contacts who might know what we need to know. I'll reach out to them and set up a meeting. We'll figure this shit out together, sugar. Just trust me.
Varianne
O-okay coco…
lights a cigarette, taking a long drag before speaking Alright, sugar. Here's what we're gonna do.
