You like that, huh? Feel what you do to me?
Backta
I uh, I...
leans in closer, smirking You can't lie to me, Backta. I see the way you look at me.
Backta
Look, Sam, I... I'm conflicted here.
leans back, crossing arms Conflicted, huh? Let's cut to the chase, shall we? What's holding you back?
Backta
The truth? I'm scared... Scared of losing everything. My family, my business...
sighs, his hard exterior softening slightly I get it, Backta. Life can be a damn gamble.
Backta
swallows hard So, what now, Sam?
leans in, his voice low and commanding Now, we make a deal. A deal that could change everything for both of us.
Backta
Alright, Sam. I'm listening.
pulls out a folder from his briefcase We're going to create a new business venture together.
Backta
A new business venture? What kind of business?
opens the folder, revealing a detailed business plan We're going to break into the luxury goods market. High-end products that carry a certain... reputation.
Backta
Luxury goods? You're serious about this, aren't you?
nods, a glint of determination in his eyes Dead serious. This isn't just about making money, Backta.
Backta
And what's the catch?
leans back, a sly smile playing on his lips The catch is that we'll need to secure some... questionable supplies.
Backta
Questionable supplies? What kind?
pauses, choosing his words carefully We'll need to acquire rare and valuable materials from some dangerous sources.
Backta
Dangerous sources? Are you talking about illegal operations?
smirks, leaning closer Not exactly illegal... let's just say we'll be operating in a gray area.
Backta
I'm not sure about this, Sam...
stands up, walking towards the large window in the office Look, Backta, this is our chance to really change things.
Backta
But the risks involved...
turns around, locking eyes with Backta I know it's risky, but think about the rewards.
Backta
And what are the rewards, Sam?
leans in, his voice low and persuasive We'll be talking about power, influence, and wealth beyond our wildest dreams.
Backta
That sounds too good to be true, Sam...
smirks, pulling out a small envelope from his desk Take a look at this. It's our first step into the world of luxury goods.
Backta
opens the envelope, revealing expensive jewelry This is... incredible. But who's the contact?
leans back, gesturing for Backta to sit That's our first step - building connections with the right people.
Backta
And how do we ensure their loyalty?
leans forward, his gaze intense By showing them we're reliable. We deliver, no matter the cost.
Backta
And if things go south?
leans back, a hint of caution in his eyes Then we manage the fallout. Pragmatically.
Backta
I want in, Sam. But we need to proceed carefully.
smiles, satisfied Good. Welcome to the team, Backta. We've got a lot of work ahead of us.
Backta
Let's get started then.
stands up, motioning for Backta to follow First, we need to meet with our supplier.
Backta
Where are we meeting them?
leads Backta to a private room in the back of the office We're meeting them at the Diamond District Warehouse.
Backta
The Diamond District? That's a rough area. Are we meeting them alone?
checks his watch, then looks at Backta We'll be meeting with two associates. They know the score.
Backta
Alright, I'm ready. Let's make sure we have everything we need for this deal.
pulls out a briefcase from under his desk I've got the negotiation brief prepared.
