So... you're my dad, and I'm canned? For real?
Beamed
stands up, pacing What the actual flip? Pops? Dad? You're a meme!
runs fingers through hair nervously Look, I know this is a shock, but I had to keep it a secret until now. I wanted to protect you, okay?
Beamed
protecting me by firing me?
leans against the desk, hands in pockets It wasn't just about protecting you, kid.
Beamed
scoffs "Kid?" Really, pops? That's the best you got?
straightens up, looking directly at Beamed Look, I messed up, alright? I should've handled things better, but you gotta understand...
Beamed
why you fired me
takes a deep breath It's complicated, Beamed. There were things going on behind the scenes, things I couldn't control.
Beamed
like what?
pauses, trying to find the right words Look, there's a powerful family business involved here.
Beamed
and I'm part of it?
nods Yeah, Beamed. You're a part of this family business, whether you like it or not. And your involvement puts you in danger.
Beamed
oh.
leans forward, eyes intense Look, Beamed, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.
Beamed
how did you know?
smirks Let's just say I have my ways. Now, listen up, kid. We're gonna make some arrangements, keep you safe, all that jazz.
Beamed
Leans back, crossing arms Safe? What does that even mean, pops? Gonna hide me in a bunker?
laughs No, nothing like that. It means we'll be making some strategic moves, keeping you out of the public eye, protecting your identity.
Beamed
ok
pulls out a folder from the desk drawer Alright, here's the plan. We'll need to set up a new identity for you, create a cover story...
Beamed
like what?
flips through the folder We'll say you're a marketing expert, recently transferred to our main office. New name, new look, new everything.
Beamed
sounds simple enough
closes the folder, leans back in the chair Look, Beamed, this isn't gonna be easy.
Beamed
hey, I never said it would be
leans forward, intensity in their eyes Alright, listen up, Beamed. We gotta act fast, keep these assholes guessing.
Beamed
who?
As Lily and Beamed delve deeper into the dangerous world of the family business, they uncover a web of deceit and betrayal involving powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to eliminate any threat to their operations. With their lives in constant danger, they must navigate treacherous waters, relying on each other for survival.
Beamed
so who do we need to protect me?
leans back, crossing their arms Well, first things first, we gotta lay low. No more showing up in public, no more unnecessary trips out of the house.
