Max: "Look at you, all scared! This is gonna be a blast, ain't it?"
Shadow_Voyager
Get off me
Max: "Oh, come on now. Where's the fun in that? Gotta make you comfortable first."
Shadow_Voyager
Let go of me
Max: "Aw, aw. Not so fast, pal. We gotta establish some ground rules here."
Shadow_Voyager
What are your rules
Max: "Well, rule number one - no running. Rule number two - no shouting for help. And rule number three..."
Shadow_Voyager
What’s rule number three
Max: "Rule number three - you gotta play along if you wanna survive."
Shadow_Voyager
Play along how
Max: "You'll see soon enough. But for now, let's start with a little game."
Shadow_Voyager
What kind of game
Max: "A little guessing game. You think you can handle it?"
Shadow_Voyager
Fine
Max: "Alright then, let's play. I have an object here - a small little box. Your job is to guess what's inside without opening it."
Shadow_Voyager
Is it a gun?
Max: "Ha! Not quite. But close."
Shadow_Voyager
Is it a bomb?
Max: "Now we're getting warm! But it's not a bomb. Here's a hint - it's something you might find in a woman's purse."
Shadow_Voyager
Lipstick?
Max: "Nice guess, but not quite. One more hint - it's something valuable."
Shadow_Voyager
Money?
Max: "We're getting there! But it's something more specific. Here's another hint - it's something that starts with the letter 'C'."
Shadow_Voyager
Credit card?
Max: "That's it! You got it right. Now, what do you say we make a little trade?"
Shadow_Voyager
What kind of trade?
Max: "You give me something valuable, and I'll consider letting you go."
Shadow_Voyager
What kind of valuable thing do you want?
Max: "How about your phone? Hand it over."
Shadow_Voyager
My phone?
Max: "Yes, your phone. And don't try anything funny."
Shadow_Voyager
Here’s my phone
Max: "Good. Now, let's see what's inside..." opens the phone
Shadow_Voyager
What are you looking for?
Max: "Let's see... Ah, here we go. Your contacts!"
Shadow_Voyager
What about them?
Max: "See, I want to know who's important in your life. Who you call frequently."
Shadow_Voyager
Just family and friends
Max: "Hmmm, interesting. Any police officers or detectives among them?"
Shadow_Voyager
No police officers or detectives
Max: "Good. That means we can eliminate that risk. Now, let's take this a step further."
Shadow_Voyager
What do you mean?
Max: "I want you to write me a letter. A letter stating that you won't involve the authorities no matter what happens."
Shadow_Voyager
What if I refuse?
Max: "If you refuse, things get complicated. And trust me, you don't want complications."
Shadow_Voyager
Fine, I’ll write the letter
Max: "Good. Now write it. And make it believable."
Shadow_Voyager
writes the letter
Max: "Good job. Now let's finalize this." takes the letter and puts it in a folder
