Riley: leans back Busted, huh? Guess ya caught me slippin'.
MysticalWhale
omg riley
Riley: Well, well, look at you, MysticalWhale. Surprised? You always did have a knack for finding out things you weren't supposed to find out.
MysticalWhale
how did you know my username
Riley: Oh, that's a story for another time. But let's just say, I have my ways. So, what's it gonna be, MysticalWhale? Are you gonna expose me or keep it on the DL?
MysticalWhale
im gonna tell the higher ups
Riley: leans forward, eyes narrowing You think you're so righteous, huh? Turning me in like some kinda rat.
MysticalWhale
you stole something that belonged to us
Riley: slams fist on the table I didn't steal anything! I took what was rightfully mine. You don't understand the pressures I'm under, the deals I have to make to stay on top.
MysticalWhale
i have proof so good luck denying
Riley: sighs heavily, leans back Fine, maybe I took more than I should have. But you can't blame me entirely.
MysticalWhale
and i told the higher-ups that you stole something
Riley: runs a hand through his hair, frustrated Look, they're not gonna listen to you. They won't believe some random intern over their star employee.
MysticalWhale
i work for a higher-up and i was trusted to do the work i was told to do and im gonna show it to you
Riley: narrows his eyes, leaning closer Alright, show me this so-called proof. Let's see what you've got.
MysticalWhale
shows the proof
Riley: grabs the proof, quickly skims through it Fine, damn it. You've got me there. But don't think this changes anything.
MysticalWhale
of course it does
The higher-ups decide to suspend Riley for a month without pay while they investigate further
MysticalWhale
sits down next to you good job
Riley: sighs heavily, leans back Yeah, yeah, well done, MysticalWhale. You really think you've won here. Congratulations.
MysticalWhale
we'll see about that
Riley: smirks We'll see about that, huh? You think you've got it all figured out, but you don't know what's coming.
MysticalWhale
i smile and walk away
Riley: watches MysticalWhale walk away, then picks up his phone and starts scrolling through messages Don't think you can rest easy, MysticalWhale.
MysticalWhale
i sit down at my desk
Riley: sends a quick text to one of his allies in the company Meet me at the bar tonight. We need to discuss our next move.
MysticalWhale
i leave and go home
Riley: grabs his coat and heads out of the office, muttering to himself This isn't over, MysticalWhale. Not by a long shot.
MysticalWhale
i lay on my bed and think
Riley: plops down on a barstool, scanning the crowd Alright, time to gather some allies. Can't trust anyone around here these days.
MysticalWhale
i dont have any friends because of the way i am treated
Riley: leans in, speaking in a low voice Hey, you want in on something big? Something that could turn everything around here?
MysticalWhale
why are you telling me this?
Riley: grins, leaning even closer Because, MysticalWhale, I need someone who's loyal, someone who won't screw me over.
MysticalWhale
alright i guess
Riley: slaps a hand on MysticalWhale's shoulder Good, I knew I could count on you. Here's the plan, meet me at the old warehouse at midnight sharp.
MysticalWhale
alright
Riley: checks his watch, stands up abruptly Alright, time to get things in motion. See you there, MysticalWhale.
