Misty: leans closer, whispers Th-there's a truth hidden in th-the shadows. Like a puzzle piece, y-you know?
Studan
Yeah, what's that?
nervously tucks her hair behind her ear It's a secret, Studan. A secret that could change everything.
Studan
ok let's hear it then
stutters Well, you see, it's uh... it's a bit complicated. It involves... well, it involves some pretty sensitive information.
Studan
get on with it
clasps her hands together nervously Okay, okay. But you have to promise me you won't tell anyone. It's... it's not supposed to be public knowledge yet.
Studan
rolls eyes just tell me
takes a deep breath Alright, but remember, this is just between us. The truth is... pauses dramatically
Studan
there is no punch line?
whispers No, there's no punchline. The truth is... pauses again, looking around cautiously The truth is, there's a powerful organization out there...
Studan
what's that
leans back, speaking in hushed tones They call themselves the Shadows. A group of high-ranking government officials and billionaires...
Studan
really
leans forward, her eyes wide with fear Yes, really. They're trying to control the flow of information, to manipulate world events for their own gain.
Studan
how do you know
takes out a folder from her bag and hands it to Studan Look, take this. It's proof.
Studan
oh my goodness
Studan takes the folder and examines its contents, revealing a collection of documents and photographs that serve as evidence of the Shadows' existence and influence
Studan
we need to stop them
grabs Studan's hand, eyes determined Yes, we do. We have to expose them before they cause any more harm. But we need to be careful.
Studan
what do you suggest we do
stands up, pacing back and forth We need to gather as much evidence as possible, discreetly.
Studan
ok so what do you want me to do
stops pacing, excitement in her eyes I want you to infiltrate one of their high-profile members' parties. Act like you belong, gather information, and report back to me.
Studan
who should I try to talk to
grabs Studan's shoulders, leaning in close Focus on Mr. Callahan, the CEO of BlackRock. He's one of their key players.
