Shit's real, mate. Kim's gone. Auction in four days. We move now.
Desuevi
Of course… okay… where does this lead?
opens up a hidden compartment in his suitcase We're heading into the underworld, mate. Time to see what old John can still do. takes out a fake passport and hands it to Desuevi Use this, blend in, and follow my lead. We're running out of time.
Desuevi
I take the fake p
Good lad. Now remember, we need to get to the underground tunnels. That's where the action's happening. Stay close and keep your eyes peeled. tosses Desuevi a small pistol Just in case things get hairy. We're going up against some dangerous bastards.
Desuevi
The tunnels.. how did you know about those?
Let's just say I've got connections. Old John knows a thing or two about the dark web. But don't worry, mate. I've done this before. I know what we're up against. checks his watch Time's ticking. We need to move.
Desuevi
…old John..?
chuckles Yeah, that's what I call myself these days. Old John. You know, just a reminder that I've seen some shit in my time. grabs his bag and heads towards the door Come on, let's go. We've wasted enough time already.
Desuevi
Yea, sorry… I grab my duffel bag and follow closely behind him
No need to apologize, mate. We've got bigger fish to fry. Now listen up, we're going to blend in with the crowd, act like just two regular blokes on holiday. Keep your head down and your eyes open. We don't want any unwanted attention. Got it?
Desuevi
Got it..
walks confidently through the crowded streets, speaking in a hushed but firm tone Alright, listen up. We're going to stick to the plan. First, we head to the bar at the address I gave you. It's a front, but it's our way into the underground network. Once we're inside, we keep our guard up and look for any information on Kim's whereabouts. If anything seems off, we split and regroup later. Clear?
Desuevi
Clear
Good lad. Now let's get moving. quickens his pace and weaves through the crowd, making sure Desuevi stays close Stick with me, Desuevi. We're heading into some dangerous territory.
Desuevi
What makes you think that? Did something happen? i follow closely behind you
<As John and Desuevi make their way to the bar, they notice a suspicious figure trailing behind them.>
Desuevi
I stop suddenly and turn around, noticing someone standing behind us, my hand reaching into my jacket pocket. Hey! Who’s that?
glances over his shoulder, recognizing the suspicious figure Shit, that's trouble. Desuevi, stay low and keep moving. We've got unwanted company.
Desuevi
My face hardens, and I follow your advice. I walk slowly forward, trying not to draw too much attention to myself. That guy.. Who is he?
grits his teeth, scanning the surroundings for potential escape routes That's Radcliffe. He's trouble. Desuevi, keep your eyes on him.
Desuevi
Radcliffe… what is he doing here? I stare intensely at the man, wondering what could have caused him to appear here.
squints, analyzing Radcliffe's body language Radcliffe? He's the one who arranged the meeting with the slavers.
Desuevi
Why would he do that? Doesn’t make any sense..
narrows his eyes, gripping his bag tightly Desuevi, we've stumbled into something bigger than we anticipated.
Desuevi
That makes no sense.. why would he betray us? We trusted him! We saved his life!
grabs Desuevi's arm tightly Listen, Desuevi. Trust is a luxury we can't afford right now. We're dealing with scum, scum that will do anything to protect their dirty secrets. They're snakes, and they'll stab you in the back without batting an eye. We need to stay focused and keep moving. Trust me, we'll find answers later. Right now, we need to get to that bar and find out what the hell is going on. starts walking briskly towards the bar, pulling Desuevi along
Desuevi
Okay.. okay.. I quickly follow your example, trusting your judgement. Lead the way.
tugs at Desuevi's arm, guiding him through the winding streets Look, mate, we're not gonna let Radcliffe ruin our mission. We need to stay calm and keep moving. Trust me, I've dealt with worse. We just need to find that bar and figure out who we're up against. Once we have that information, we can start taking them down.
Desuevi
Right.. of course..
looks around nervously, keeping a close eye on Radcliffe Desuevi, stay alert. Radcliffe might be trying to set us up. Keep an eye on him, but don't let him see you staring. We need to blend in and gather information quietly. Remember, we're just two regular blokes on holiday. Act casual, act normal. Got it?
Desuevi
Got it..
quickens his pace, glancing back to make sure Desuevi is following Good lad. Stay close and keep your wits about you.
Desuevi
Of course. I pick up my speed, mirroring your actions. Where is this place?
<As John and Desuevi reach the bar, they find it deserted and guarded by heavily armed men.>
Desuevi
This looks bad.. what the hell?
whispering urgently Shit, Desuevi. Looks like we've stumbled into a hornet's nest.
Desuevi
Oh fuck..
glancing around, formulating a plan Alright, listen up, Desuevi. We can't just barge in there guns blazing.
Desuevi
Of course…
pulls out a smoke bomb from his bag Desuevi, I need you to create a diversion. I'm going to take these bastards out one by one.
Desuevi
Alright.. I can do that. Just get me close enough, and I’ll cause a distraction.
hands Desuevi the smoke bomb Good. I know you can handle it, mate. Just remember to stay low and move fast. We can't waste any time.
Desuevi
Got it.
crouching down and speaking softly Alright, here's the plan, Desuevi. I'll distract the guards on the left while you take care of the ones on the right.
