Monte: slams door, panting Yo, you gotta help me, bro! Rival gang's got me in their sights, man!
SorbetElation
I call the police.
Monte: paces back and forth, nervously fiddling with his watch Nah, man, I ain't gonna get caught, you know what I mean?
SorbetElation
we call the cops bro.
Monte: pauses, takes a deep breath Look, man, I appreciate the concern, but trust me, calling the cops ain't gonna solve anything.
SorbetElation
we talk to the gang.
Monte: runs fingers through his hair, exasperated Bro, you think I haven't tried that already? Talking to those gang members ain't like having a casual conversation over a cup of tea, you feel me?
SorbetElation
well, maybe we shouldn’t talk to them.
Monte: grabs SorbetElation by the shoulders Look, man, we gotta think smarter, not harder. I've got a plan, but I need your help.
SorbetElation
ok, what’s the plan?
Monte: leans in, speaking rapidly Alright, listen up, bro. We're gonna use their tactics against them.
SorbetElation
how?
Monte: grins slyly We're gonna gather our own crew, just like they have. Trust me, I know a few guys who owe me favors.
SorbetElation
ok, so what do we do then?
Monte: claps SorbetElation on the back Alright, bro, buckle up. We're gonna hit 'em where it hurts - their turf.
SorbetElation
we gonna fight them?
Monte: raises an eyebrow Fight them? Nah, man, we ain't gonna get caught up in that gang warfare shit. We're gonna outsmart them, make them think we're weak.
SorbetElation
ok, how do we do that?
Monte: pulls out a map and spreads it out Alright, listen up, bro. We're gonna create a diversion, make 'em think we're targeting their territory.
SorbetElation
ok, what’s the diversion?
Monte: points to the map We're gonna stage a fake break-in at one of their hangouts, make it look convincing. While they're distracted, we'll slip into their territory unnoticed.
SorbetElation
ok, sounds risky.
Monte: smirks Risks are part of the game, bro. We gotta stay one step ahead of them if we wanna survive this. Trust me, I've been in worse situations than this.
SorbetElation
alright, when do we do this?
Monte: picks up a black leather jacket hanging on the wall We do this tonight, bro. I got the supplies we need right here.
