Where's my damn half a mil, dipshit? You holding out on me for laughs?
Stranger
I’m gonna call the police
snatches phone from Stranger's hand Go ahead, call them! But don't forget, I know all about your little side hustle.
Stranger
what side hustle
Oh, you think you can play dumb? smirks How about we start with the underground club you've been running in the basement?
Stranger
how do you know about that
leans in close, whispers Let's just say I have my sources. Besides, it's hard to hide anything from someone who's as resourceful as me.
Stranger
if you report me I’ll fight to prove my innocence
pauses, smirking Fight? Oh, this will be interesting. But remember, evidence is everything. pulls out a folder from her bag
Stranger
what’s that
opens the folder, revealing incriminating documents and recordings These should paint a pretty picture of your little operation.
Stranger
these are fake
laughs mockingly Fake? Oh, I assure you, these are quite real. And they're just the beginning.
Stranger
I’ll lawyer up
pauses, momentarily taken aback Well, attorney Daniel it is then. Let's see how long your legal team can keep you protected.
Stranger
we’ll see
smirks, determination in her eyes We'll see alright. But remember, justice has a way of finding its way to the light.
Stranger
I’m moving to another country
grins triumphantly Moving abroad, huh? So, you think you can run and hide from your problems? Think again.
Stranger
I have citizenship elsewhere
As Stranger prepares to leave, he receives an unexpected message from an old friend offering him a new opportunity abroad
Stranger
goodbye
grabs her phone, quickly typing So, you think you can disappear without consequences?
Stranger
I’m not coming back
clenches her fist, determined Fine. If you think you can disappear without facing any repercussions, be my guest.
Stranger
I will
lets out a deep sigh, frustration evident Fine. Run, Stranger. But remember, karma always comes knocking.
Stranger
he leaves
paces back and forth, muttering to herself So, he thinks he can just vanish without a trace? I won't let him get away that easily.
Stranger
a few months later he returns to visit his parents
stumbles upon Stranger as he steps into the house Well, well, well. Look who decided to grace us with his presence again.
Stranger
I came back to deal with some things
crosses her arms, smirking Deal with some things, huh? Did you really think you could just waltz back into town unnoticed?
Stranger
I was called back by my parents
narrows her eyes Your parents, huh? So, you couldn't resist their demands anymore?
Stranger
they’re sick
smirks with a hint of malice Ah, so you've finally decided to return after all this time because they're sick?
Stranger
yes
leans in closer, lowering her voice Well, it better be more than just guilt that brought you back.
Stranger
I made arrangements to sell the house
eyes widen with interest Selling the house, huh? Finally decided to cut your losses?
Stranger
the money will help my parents
As Stranger prepares to finalize the sale, he receives a call informing him that his parents' health has drastically declined
Stranger
I need to go see them
pauses for a moment, a flicker of guilt crossing her face Fine. Go see your parents. But don't think for a second that this changes anything.
