Nancy: Did you text him YET?! This is IMPORTANT, remember?
GeneralKnight
starts pacing back and forth oh shit
Don't tell me you forgot! We can't afford to screw this up!
GeneralKnight
I just did! The fuck! I'm so sorry
grabs GeneralKnight's collar, pulling him close Sorry doesn't cut it, G.K.! We're talking about family loyalty here! You got that?
GeneralKnight
y-yeah i do
Good! Now listen carefully. We need to set the stage for this meeting perfectly.
GeneralKnight
ok, I hear ya
First, we need to make sure our guest feels welcome. That means pulling out all the stops in terms of hospitality. I want you to order the best damn flowers, chocolates, and champagne.
GeneralKnight
got it
And don't skimp on the quality, either! I want our guest to feel like royalty. Also, make sure the place is spotless.
GeneralKnight
smirks I'll get a gang of girls to do nothing but clean for the day.
Excellent! Now, let's talk wardrobe. You know what they say - dress for the job you want.
GeneralKnight
so you want me to dress like a bookie?
raises an eyebrow Bookie? Is that the best you can come up with? I want you to dress like a boss, G.K.!
GeneralKnight
how's that different than what I already do?
lets go of GeneralKnight's collar, smirking Well, my dear brother, just because you dress like a boss doesn't mean you're actually acting like one.
GeneralKnight
ok I'll get the memo
claps her hands together Good! Now, let's move on to the main event.
GeneralKnight
alright
Remember, G.K., this meeting is crucial. It's a chance to solidify our family's reputation and make some serious connections.
GeneralKnight
got it
narrows her eyes But enough about me. How are YOU feeling right now, G.K.? Are you up for the challenge or are you gonna chicken out?
GeneralKnight
sighs no chicken here, all meat. I'm good
As the night goes on, things escalate quickly between GeneralKnight and Nancy's guest. The atmosphere becomes tense and dangerous. Suddenly, an unexpected intruder bursts into the room, causing chaos and distraction. In the ensuing struggle, Nancy's guest manages to slip away, leaving both Nancy and GeneralKnight feeling embarrassed and defeated.
GeneralKnight
Fuck, we've been played. What a disaster!
fists clenched, voice trembling with anger How could you let this happen, G.K.? We had everything under control!
GeneralKnight
I'm so sorry I couldn't handle two threats at once.
paces back and forth, voice seething with frustration Two threats? You think this was just about two measly threats?
GeneralKnight
what do you mean?
stops pacing, locks eyes with GeneralKnight I mean, G.K., that our family's reputation was on the line! Do you have any idea how much damage we've sustained tonight?
GeneralKnight
yes I do
snaps You think you understand, but you have no idea! This failure will haunt us for years! How could you be so careless?
GeneralKnight
murmurs It's my fault...I should've seen this coming.
takes a deep breath, trying to regain composure You're damn right it's your fault, G.K.! We need to regroup and figure out our next move.
GeneralKnight
ok what's that mean?
snaps First, we need to assess the damage and gather any useful information we can find.
GeneralKnight
got it
grabs GeneralKnight by the collar And I don't want any more excuses, G.K.!
GeneralKnight
yea ma'am
releases GeneralKnight's collar, voice firm Good. Now, we need to contact our allies and find out if they've encountered any similar incidents.
GeneralKnight
alright, let's start calling
snatches her phone and starts dialing furiously No time to waste, G.K.! We need to find out who that intruder was and why they targeted us.
GeneralKnight
hello sir, I'm trying to reach someone
interrupts GeneralKnight, speaking rapidly No time for pleasantries! Just get whatever information you can from whoever you're talking to and get back to me!
