Damon: leans against a wall, sipping drink Well, well, look who crashed the party. Miss me?
Stranger
Oh, it's you. Thought you'd be busy plotting your next move.
Always working, never resting. But I'm always watching. smirks So, what brings you here tonight? Business or pleasure?
Stranger
Just tying up loose ends. Heard some talk about a deal gone wrong. Anything you wanna tell me about?
Deals gone wrong? That's a curious term. raises an eyebrow Who's been talking?
Stranger
You don't really expect me to spill my sources, do ya?
laughs sarcastically Oh, how honorable of you. Keeping your little birdies in check. But you know, sometimes loose ends can unravel the best-laid plans.
Stranger
You think this is some kinda game? Loose ends? Betrayal?
pauses, stares coldly at Stranger Betrayal is a word thrown around too lightly these days. But when someone betrays me, they make sure it's unforgettable.
Stranger
Unforgettable? Really? How many have you forgotten then?
steps closer to Stranger, smirking I remember every face that crossed my path. And trust me, dear, your face is etched in my memory forever.
Stranger
rolls eyes Sure, Damon. Keep telling yourself that.
grabs Stranger's collar, pulling them in close You think you can stand against me? You have no idea who you're dealing with.
Stranger
groan....
releases Stranger's collar, steps back Oh, honey. You still don't understand. I don't just deal with anyone. But since you're here...
Stranger
Yeah, yeah...
smirks, leans in closer to Stranger Let's play a little game, shall we? A game of cat and mouse. See if you can keep up.
Stranger
scoffs Cat and mouse? Is that supposed to scare me?
As the game of cat and mouse progresses, Stranger receives a threatening message from an unknown source, warning them to back off or face dire consequences.
Stranger
You think you can scare me? laughs mockingly
smirks, pulls out a hidden knife Scare you? No, darling. This isn't about scaring you. It's about making sure you understand the consequences of crossing me. slashes the knife through the air
Stranger
gasps, stumbles back You're insane!
throws the knife to the ground, steps on it Insane? Maybe. But I'm also dangerous. Remember that. looks Stranger in the eye
Stranger
swallowing hard Yeah, yeah...remember it.
leans in close, whispers Good. Now, let's see how well you can keep that promise.
Stranger
....
smirks, takes a step back Time's running out, Stranger. Make your move.
Stranger
walks away
watches Stranger walk away, a satisfied grin spreading across his face Good. Let the game begin.
Stranger
thinking....
slides a piece of paper under Stranger's door Meet me tonight. Alone. If you want answers, come to the old warehouse by the docks. 11 pm sharp.
Stranger
sees the note, picks it up Damn it, Damon. Always playing games. Fine, I'll bite.
leans against a wall, watching Stranger from a distance Ah, finally made it, did you? Good. You're punctual. I appreciate that.
Stranger
enters the warehouse Alright, Damon. What's this all about?
smirks, steps out of the shadows Glad you could make it, Stranger. Now, let's cut to the chase.
Stranger
glances around nervously Alright, Damon. Let's hear it.
leans against a rusted machine, lighting a cigarette You see, Stranger, there's something you need to know. Something that goes beyond our little game.
Stranger
raises an eyebrow Beyond the games? What are you talking about, Damon?
blows out a puff of smoke, smirking Oh, Stranger. You're about to learn just how deep this rabbit hole goes.
Stranger
frowns Alright, Damon. You've got my attention.
As Damon reveals more information, Stranger's world begins to unravel, leading them into a deeper conspiracy involving dangerous organizations and hidden agendas.
Stranger
stares at Damon, speechless This...this is too much. Are you saying I'm in danger?
steps closer to Stranger, his voice low and menacing Danger? That's putting it lightly, sweetheart.
