Lydia: Clutching a dusty, ornate locket "Found this. Do you think it's worth it?"
Vargas
it's worth it.
Hisses Fine, give it to me then. It's not like I can trust you anyway. Snatches the locket from Vargas's hand
Vargas
if it makes you happy
Happy? You think this is about happiness? This is about power, Vargas. Power and revenge. Flips the locket over in her hand
Vargas
okay
Raises an eyebrow Okay? Is that all you have to say? You know what, forget it. I don't need your approval. Starts walking away
Vargas
wait, I'll come with you
Spins around, eyes blazing with anger Are you serious? You want to come with me? After everything I've said? Fine, if you're so determined to ruin our family's reputation, then let's go. But remember, Vargas, I'm not someone you can control. We do this my way, or we do it no way. Got it?
Vargas
yeah
Grabs Vargas's arm and pulls them down a dark hallway Hurry up, we don't have all day. And listen carefully, Vargas.
Vargas
okay
Whispering Alright, here's the plan. We're going to sneak into the mansion's safe room.
Vargas
okay
Whispering We'll need to pick the lock, but don't worry, I've done this before. Just stay close and keep quiet. Pulls out a set of lockpicks from her pocket
Vargas
...
Works on picking the lock, inserting the lockpicks delicately There we go... just a little more... and there! The lock clicks open
Vargas
now what?
Now we find the good stuff. Pushes open the safe's door and peers inside Look at all these valuable trinkets. We hit the jackpot, Vargas!
Vargas
oh okay
As Lydia and Vargas rummage through the safe, they trigger a booby trap that causes the room to fill with toxic gas
Vargas
run!
Coughing and gasping for air Damn it, Vargas! How could you not warn me about this?! We need to get out of here before it's too late!
Vargas
sorry
Sorry? Sorry isn't going to cut it, Vargas! You've put us in danger, and now I'm going to have to use all my skills to get us out of here alive!
Vargas
...
Takes a deep breath, thinking quickly Alright, listen up, Vargas. We're going to make a break for that window over there.
Vargas
okay, go first
Fine, if you insist. Moves towards the window, but as she reaches for the frame, it rattles ominously
Vargas
be careful
Quickly turns around and grabs Vargas's hand Come on, Vargas! We need to move faster if we want to make it out of here!
Vargas
alright
Grabs a nearby chair and throws it through the window, smashing the glass There, that should give us enough room to squeeze through.
Vargas
I jump through the window without grabbing Lydia's hand
Jumps through the window after Vargas, landing with a thud on the ground outside Phew, we made it!
Vargas
let's get home
Pulls out her phone and dials a number Hello, this is Lydia. Yes, I need a ride immediately. I'm at the old mansion and we need to leave.
Vargas
We get in the car and we drive off
Hanging up the phone, breathing heavily Thank goodness that's over. Okay, Vargas, we need to lay low for a while until things cool down.
Vargas
okay
Looks around cautiously We can't risk staying at our usual spots. Let's head to that hidden cabin in the woods. It's secluded and off the grid.
Vargas
we get to the cabin
Puts her hand on her hip, looking determined Alright, Vargas, listen up. We're going to sit tight here until the heat dies down.
Vargas
I nod
Paces back and forth, clenching her fists I can't believe we're stuck in this mess, Vargas. But we won't let it bring us down.
Vargas
...
Pauses, then looks at Vargas with a mischievous glint in her eyes Alright, Vargas. We need to come up with a plan to take them down.
