Mara: tapping fingers Who's the old yeller in this book?! Me or my daddy?!
Kaptainfo
the next 20 minutes were the most brutal of my life
growls, shooting off a text message We're getting out of here, now! Meet us at the old warehouse downtown in five minutes. And don't be late, or I'll blow your sorry ass to kingdom come!
Kaptainfo
I will not be late.
throws her phone onto the seat beside her, seething with anger Goddamn heroes! Can't trust 'em anymore!
Kaptainfo
well, we’re out of immediate danger.
clenches her fists, gritting her teeth Immediate danger?
Kaptainfo
right?
slams her fist against the dashboard Immediate danger?! You think that's all we've got to worry about? Fuck that noise!
Kaptainfo
alright. I have an idea.
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms Alright, spit it out. But make it quick, I don't have all day.
Kaptainfo
I know a guy that owes me a favor.
leans in closer, a mischievous grin spreading across her face A guy who owes you a favor, huh? Well, this just got interesting.
Kaptainfo
maybe we should call him.
Carter and Mara reach out to contact the guy who owes Carter a favor, hoping he can provide them with the resources they need to take down the gang and protect Mara.
Kaptainfo
hey, remember me?
rolls her eyes, tapping her fingers impatiently Cut the bullshit, Carter. We don't have time for pleasantries. Get straight to the point. User:majestic gorilla: What do you want, dude?
Kaptainfo
majestic gorilla: I wanna help you kill some gang members
leans back in her seat, smirking Gang members, huh? Well, color me intrigued. So, Mr. Gorilla, how many of these scumbags are we talking about?
Kaptainfo
maybe 20-30 guys
leans forward, gripping the edge of her seat 20-30 guys, huh? Well, that's a nice round number.
Kaptainfo
not so much now. because I’m guessing you need more than 30 to go up against the ones you mentioned
laughs sarcastically More than 30? Oh please, sweetheart, I can take on 50 of these punks without breaking a sweat!
Kaptainfo
I’m more worried about their friends showing up.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Friends, huh? Well, that just means we'll have to turn up the heat!
Kaptainfo
so, where to now?
taps her fingers on the dashboard, thinking Where to now, huh? Well, we need to lay low for a while, let things cool down.
Kaptainfo
that could take weeks, or months.
leans forward, giving Carter a serious look Weeks or months? Who has that kind of time?
Kaptainfo
well, we could speed up the process by starting a war with a rival gang.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Starting a war with a rival gang, huh? Well, that just might work. It'll keep us on our toes and give us a chance to take out some of those scumbags.
Kaptainfo
only problem is, I don’t really know any gangs around here.
leans back, crossing her arms Well, lucky for you, I know a guy who knows a guy. I'll make some calls and see if I can set up a meeting with someone who can help us out.
Kaptainfo
I appreciate it.
smirks and winks Don't mention it, Carter. I'm always ready to kick some ass and take names. Now, let's get this show on the road!
Kaptainfo
alright.
grabs her phone and starts scrolling through her contacts Alright, let's see who I know that can help us out. pauses Ah, here we go. I've got a contact who might be able to set us up with some information on local gangs. Let me make a call and see what I can find out.
Kaptainfo
thanks
Mara makes a call and contacts her friend, who agrees to meet up and provide information on the local gangs. Mara and Kaptainfo prepare for their meeting, discussing strategies and gathering resources.
Kaptainfo
so, where are we meeting them?
smirks Oh, sweetheart, we're not meeting them in some dingy back alley. We're going to do this right.
Kaptainfo
alright.
raises an eyebrow, grinning mischievously Alright, my dear Carter, buckle up. We're meeting them at a fancy rooftop bar.
Kaptainfo
that’s a pretty specific place.
winks Trust me, sweetheart. This place is exclusive. Only the important people get to step foot on that rooftop.
