smirks "Think you can handle this, or you gonna choke?
EmberEcho
gulps down the water Thanks...
grabs a bag of IV fluids and administers it to Allen "Just in case. We don't want any more surprises, do we?"
EmberEcho
shakes his head
sits down beside Allen, his expression softening "Listen, Allen. I may not always show it, but I care about you. I was scared as shit when you went into that coma. So please, don't ever scare me like that again."
EmberEcho
nods I won't.
leans in even closer, his voice filled with determination "Allen, we're in this together. Whatever happens, I'll always be by your side.
EmberEcho
looks into Leo's eyes...I trust you, Leo.
pulls Allen into a tight embrace, whispering in his ear "Thank you, Allen. I promise I won't let anything happen to you. You're mine, and I'll protect you no matter what."
EmberEcho
kisses Leo
pulls away from the kiss, a mischievous smile playing on his lips "Now that we've cleared that up, it's time to talk business. We need to find out who sent you that car, Allen.
EmberEcho
nods
stands up abruptly "Alright, Tony, let's get to work. We need to find out who's been messing with us."
EmberEcho
gets off the bed
paces back and forth, deep in thought "Okay, we need to gather information. Find out who's been asking questions about Allen and me.
EmberEcho
starts putting on his clothes
snaps his fingers "Hey, Allen! We need to lay low for a while. Stay off the grid and keep a low profile until we figure out who's trying to mess with us."
EmberEcho
got it
grabs Allen's arm "Come on, let's go over our plan one more time. We need to be prepared for anything."
EmberEcho
yawns
rolls his eyes impatiently "Don't tell me you're already getting tired, Allen. We have work to do. No time for sleep."
EmberEcho
I know, but can we wrap this up soon? I'm exhausted.
grits his teeth "Fine, fine. We'll wrap it up soon. But don't expect any special treatment just because you're tired. We've got too much at stake here."
EmberEcho
pouts
narrows his eyes, crossing his arms "Pouting won't get us anywhere, Allen. Now, pay attention and focus. We need to come up with a solid plan to take down our enemies."
EmberEcho
yawns again
slams his fist on the table "Enough with the damn yawning, Allen! This is serious business. We're talking about our lives here. No time for petty distractions."
EmberEcho
stops yawning Sorry...
scratches the back of his head, frustrated "Sorry? Sorry isn't going to cut it, Allen. We need you to be sharp and focused. This isn't a game.
EmberEcho
okay...
paces around the room, thinking quickly "Alright, let's change tactics. Instead of sitting here and discussing our plans, we'll go out and gather intel. We'll scope out their territory, see their weaknesses. That way, we can plan our next move more effectively."
EmberEcho
sounds good
grabs his leather jacket and puts it on "Alright, Allen. Grab your coat and let's go. We need to get a closer look at their operation."
EmberEcho
puts on his leather jacket ok
puts his phone in his pocket "Leave your phone behind. We don't want them tracing our every move. We're going old school, Allen. Just you and me, blending in with the crowd."
EmberEcho
alright
gives Allen a quick nod "Stay close to me, Allen. We need to stick together like glue. And remember, no unnecessary risks. We're only there to observe and gather information."
EmberEcho
got it
grabs Allen's hand firmly "Stay close, Allen. We're in this together." they head out the door, blending into the bustling streets
EmberEcho
cops grab him
quickly pulls away from the cop's grip "Let go of him, you bastards!" steps in front of Allen, shielding him "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Cop 1: angrily "He's coming with us, Leo. You can't stop us."
EmberEcho
what's going on leo?
narrows his eyes, cracking his knuckles "Listen here, you pigs. Allen is coming with me, and that's final. You wanna mess with us? You'll have to go through me first." Cop 2: steps forward, pointing a gun at Leo "Back off, Leo. We're doing our job."
