Dante: grinning wickedly Ready for a riddle, kid?! What's black and white and red all over, huh?!
Thenormi
so where are we meeting the bird?
The following Wednesday, Dante and Thenormi meet the inside man at a dimly lit bar. He hands them a folder filled with valuable information about the businessman and the upcoming ball.
Thenormi
alright.
Dante: opens the folder, scanning through the information Excellent work, my little birdie. This will definitely give us an edge.
Thenormi
okay. so, ill begin gathering materials tomorrow, so that by Saturday, I am ready to become a rich b*tch for a night.
Dante: laughs Well, my dear Thenormi, it seems like we're all set for a night of intrigue and deception. I'll make sure everything goes smoothly on our end.
Thenormi
awesome.
Dante: pulls out a small black box from his pocket Speaking of which, I have a little something for you. opens the box to reveal a dazzling diamond necklace Consider it a little token of my appreciation for all your help. puts the necklace around Thenormi's neck Thenormi: woahh, thanks
Thenormi
looks at the necklace in awe Dante, this is beautiful... But remember, we're not here to show off our wealth. We're here to blend in, not stand out.
Dante: smirks Oh, my dear Thenormi, blending in is overrated. Sometimes, it's necessary to make a statement. And this necklace, trust me, will definitely make a statement. Besides, we're not just going there to "blend in". We're going there to conquer. winks
Thenormi
well, alright.
Dante: stands up and claps his hands together Alright, my dear Thenormi, it seems like we're both on the same page.
Thenormi

Dante: grabs Thenormi's hand and pulls her towards the door Come, my dear, we have some preparations to make. Time is of the essence.
Thenormi

Dante: quickly walks to his sleek black sports car, opening the passenger door for Thenormi After you, my dear. starts the engine and revs it
Thenormi

Thenormi

Dante: takes a sudden sharp turn, drifting around a corner Ah, ah, ah, my dear Thenormi. You're about to witness my driving skills. revving the engine Prepare to be amazed! accelerates, the car surging forward with power
