Lydia: smirking Oh, honey, didn't think I'd see you here. Guess you couldn't resist the family drama, huh?
Chaptenex
“Good day, my dear step-aunt.”
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please, save the formalities, darling. We both know how much fun it is to act all polite and proper.
Chaptenex
My father isn’t here. You’re the only other Southerner in this family.
raises an eyebrow Well, ain't that a pity? Guess he couldn't handle the heat, so he stayed away. But hey, don't you worry, I brought a little bit of Southern charm with me.
Chaptenex
“Why did you come?”
grinning mischievously Why? Can't a girl come to visit her precious step-nephew without causing a ruckus?
Chaptenex
“Oh, alright.”
winks Look, honey, I didn't come here just to sit around and twiddle my thumbs. I've got a little surprise for y'all.
Chaptenex
“OooooHhh”
leans in close, whispering conspiratorially Alright, now we're talking. Brace yourself, kiddo.
Chaptenex
“What is it?”
leans back, crossing her arms Well, if you must know, I've been keeping tabs on your cousin Jimmy. And let me tell you, that boy's up to something fishy.
Chaptenex
“He’s working on creating a team of mercenaries…”
claps her hands together Well, ain't that just peachy keen!
Chaptenex
“Yeah, it is…odd…”
As Lydia delves deeper into her investigation, she uncovers a dangerous plot involving illegal firearms and international smuggling.
Chaptenex
“And you wouldn’t believe what I found out about their target…”
tilts her head, raising an eyebrow Oh, do enlighten me, darling. What's this big surprise you've got hidden up your sleeve?
Chaptenex
“It’s my best friend.”
gasps dramatically Well, I'll be dipped in axle grease! Your best friend? Talk about a plot twist, huh?
Chaptenex
“Tell me what you know.”
smirking Well, aren't you a little eager to know the juicy details? Fine, I'll give you the lowdown.
Chaptenex
“Alright, spill it.”
leans back, enjoying the suspense Well, according to my sources, your best friend has been working with these mercenaries.
Chaptenex
“I know. He sold them my father’s gun…”
claps her hands excitedly Well, ain't that just the bee's knees!
Chaptenex
“Yeah…he’s become quite the entrepreneur.”
narrows her eyes Entrepreneur, huh? Well, let's just hope he's not cooking up something even more sinister behind closed doors.
Chaptenex
“I’m afraid that might be the case…”
stands up, clapping her hands together Alrighty then, buckle up, buttercup.
Chaptenex
“What should we do?”
grinning mischievously Oh, darlin', we're gonna expose that snake for the slimy little devil he is!
