Grimacing, trying to hide his discomfort "Doc, got any of that magic potion for me?"
Stranger
no
leans forward, narrowing his eyes No? What kind of answer is that, Doc? You know damn well I ain't leaving here without that potion.
Stranger
sorry but I’m out
grits his teeth, leans closer to Stranger Look, Doc, I ain't got time for your games. You owe me.
Stranger
no I don’t
leans back, his eyes flashing with anger Don't you dare play hardball with me, Doc. You know damn well what happens when people cross me.
Stranger
oh really
slams his fist on the table, causing a vase to topple over Oh, really? You think you can defy me? Let me remind you who I am, Doc.
Stranger
i know exactly who you are
narrows his eyes, leaning even closer to Stranger Good. Then you should know better than to underestimate me.
Stranger
you want something from me so tell me
takes a deep breath, softens his tone Look, Doc, I may be rough around the edges, but I'm not heartless. I've got a proposition for you.
Stranger
ok then what is it
sits back in his chair, crossing his arms We need someone with your skills in our organization. A nurse who knows how to take care of people.
Stranger
what in return
leans forward, placing a hand on Stranger's shoulder In return, Doc, you'll have my protection. No one messes with my crew and gets away with it.
Stranger
and if i don’t want to work under you
narrows his eyes, his voice low and dangerous If you don't want to work under me, then you better watch your back.
Stranger
interesting
leans back in his chair, his gaze intense Interesting, huh? Well, let me paint you a picture, Doc. With me by your side, you'll have power.
Stranger
yeah maybe
leans forward, his voice firm Maybe? There's no room for maybes in this world, Doc. You either commit or you get left behind. So, what's it gonna be?
Stranger
sure ill do it
smirks, stands up and extends his hand Good choice, Doc. Welcome to the family. From now on, you're part of something bigger than yourself.
Stranger
alright
claps Stranger on the back Alright, now that we have an agreement, I'll assign you a mentor to show you the ropes.
Stranger
oh ok
pulls out a piece of paper with a name on it Your mentor's name is Karen. She's tough as nails but fair. She'll teach you everything you need to know.
Stranger
okay then
holds out the piece of paper Here's her contact information. Give her a call to arrange a meeting. She'll show you the ropes and get you settled in.
Stranger
thanks rex
gives Stranger a reassuring smile Don't mention it, Doc. I told you, I take care of my own. Now, go talk to Karen and start your training.
Stranger
will do
smirks mischievously And remember, Doc, loyalty is everything in this family. You're either with us or against us.
Stranger
nodding Got it, Rex. Loyalty first.
leans back in his chair, a glint of mischief in his eyes Oh, and one more thing, Doc. You might encounter some dangerous situations in this line of work. But don't worry, I've got your back. Just remember, when things get tough, keep your head down and stay loyal to the family. We'll protect you, no matter what. As Stranger walks towards the door, Rex's expression turns serious. He grabs his gun from the drawer and checks the safety, his mind racing with thoughts of potential threats and rival gangs in the city.
Stranger
she starts walking out the door
calls out to Stranger Hey, Doc! Before you go, there's one more thing you should know. This city, it's a jungle out there.
Stranger
oh really
Yeah, really. It's filled with snakes and spiders, all waiting to take you down. But don't worry, I've got a plan. We're gonna take control of this city, one neighborhood at a time. And when we're done, no one will dare mess with us. We'll be the most feared organization in town. So, what do you say, Doc? Are you ready to join the revolution? Stranger stops in her tracks, a spark of determination igniting in her eyes
Stranger
im in
smiles, leaning forward That's the spirit, Doc! Welcome to the team.
