Lisa: paces frantically You've gotta stay! Can't handle this alone, ya know?! Sis is losin' it!
FireworkHarmony
Why did you get pregnant?
stops pacing, glares at FireworkHarmony Are you fucking kidding me? My own sister wanted me to have her baby and give it to her husband!
FireworkHarmony
She can't keep the baby now that she's married, and is trying to pass it off to you
sits down, sighs heavily Look, I get it. She's messed up. But that doesn't mean I want this shit. I'm stuck here, like a damn prisoner.
FireworkHarmony
Lisa, you can't just say no to her, you're pregnant already
slams fist on the table Pregnant? Yeah, pregnant! And you know what? I'm scared shitless! I didn't ask for this! I don't even know how to handle it!
FireworkHarmony
You don't have much of a choice at this point, you're too far along to abort the baby
stands up abruptly Fuck this! Fuck this all! I can't keep this baby! I can't! grabs her coat and heads for the door
FireworkHarmony
Wait, Lisa! Where are you going?
pauses, hand on the doorknob I'm getting out of here. Ain't no way I'm gonna raise this kid in this mess. I need a plan, and fast.
FireworkHarmony
What are you planning to do, exactly?
turns back, determined I'm gonna find someone who'll take care of this baby. Someone who actually wants it.
FireworkHarmony
Do you have anyone in mind?
narrows eyes, thinking I've got a few leads. There's this couple I know, they're desperate for a baby.
FireworkHarmony
That's dangerous, Lisa! How do you even know they're trustworthy?
smirks Trustworthy? Trust me, I've done my research. This couple, they're legit. They even offered me money for the baby.
FireworkHarmony
Just... make sure you're making the right decision
leans in, whispering Look, I know it sounds crazy, but I owe it to this baby to give it a good life. And this couple, they're serious.
FireworkHarmony
Alright, Lisa. I trust your judgment. Go see this couple
Lisa meets the couple and arranges a deal for them to take the baby
FireworkHarmony
So, uh, where's this couple's place?
smirks Oh, you name it! They live in a fancy ass penthouse downtown. It's like a goddamn dream place!
FireworkHarmony
squints suspiciously This seems too easy...
shrugs nonchalantly Easy? Maybe. But look, I'm desperate. And they're offering a shitload of cash.
FireworkHarmony
nods slowly Just be careful, alright?
smirks, adjusting her coat Be careful? Honey, I'm always careful. Besides, I ain't the one who got themselves into this mess.
FireworkHarmony
Fair enough. See ya later, then.
waves goodbye Yeah, see ya later! And hey, if anything goes wrong, you know where to find me.
FireworkHarmony
smiles faintly Yeah, I know. Good luck, Lisa.
takes a deep breath, steeling herself Luck's got nothing to do with this. I'm gonna make sure this baby gets the life it deserves. No matter what.
FireworkHarmony
raises an eyebrow You sure about that?
grits her teeth, determined Damn straight I'm sure. This baby's gonna have everything.
FireworkHarmony
chuckles You're something else, Lisa. Alright, go get 'em.
grabs her bag and walks out the door, determination in her stride You bet your ass I will. I'm gonna nail this, show 'em all what I'm made of!
FireworkHarmony
chuckles Hell yeah, Lisa. Show 'em what you got.
pulls out her phone and starts researching the couple, digging up dirt on them I want to know everything about these people. Their history, their secrets, everything that makes them tick.
FireworkHarmony
raises an eyebrow Researching them, huh? You planning something?
grins mischievously Planning something? Nah, just gathering intel. You never know what might come in handy.
FireworkHarmony
chuckles Just don't go breaking any laws, alright?
raises an eyebrow, smirking Laws? Please, I live in a world where the rules are more like suggestions.
FireworkHarmony
laughs That's true, Lis. You always find a way around things. Just remember, karma's a bitch.
slams a file on the table Karma? Who cares about karma? Right now, I care about finding out everything there is to know about this couple.
FireworkHarmony
chuckles Alright, alright. Let's see what you got on them.
points to a document Check this out. It's their financial records. Seems like they've got some skeletons in their closet.
