Ash, concerned but trusting Ali, nods and heads to another room, leaving Ali with his teammates.
IN ALI'S BEDROOM -
Ali's teammates gather around him, their expressions serious and worried.
TEAM MEMBER 1
(whispering)
Ali, this situation with Robert's father is spiralling out of control. How did he find out?
ALI
(gravely)
I'm not sure, but we can't afford to underestimate him or the person who's orchestrating all of this. We need to be cautious and lay low for now.
TEAM MEMBER 2
(nervous)
But what if Robert goes to the authorities with this? We could be in serious trouble.
ALI
(determined)
That's why we need to handle this carefully. We can't let them control the narrative. We must be one step ahead.
TEAM MEMBER 3
(whispering)
Ali, do you think it's the person from your past? The one you've been hiding from us?
Ali hesitates for a moment, then nods.
ALI
(resolute)
Yes, I believe it's connected to my past. But we'll deal with that when the time comes. For now, we must focus on keeping Ash safe.
The team members exchange worried glances, realizing the gravity of the situation.
IN LIVING ROOM -

IN ROBERT'S HOUSE - NIGHT
Robert rushes into his home, panic still fresh from the encounter with Ali. When he sees Ken, his father, alive and well, he breathes a sigh of relief and rushes to hug him tightly.
ROBERT
(teary-eyed)
Dad! Thank God you're okay! I thought... I thought...
KEN
(supportive)
I know, Robert. It was all so sudden. But I'm safe now, and that's what matters.Ken gestures for Robert to sit down, and they move to a quieter room for privacy.
ROBERT
(sincere)
Dad, I need to know the truth. Ali said you were behind this, that you wanted revenge on him. Is that true?Ken looks at his son with a mix of regret and understanding.
KEN
(sombre)
I need you to listen carefully, Robert. I wasn't behind any of this. Ali is the one who arranged for my safety. He saved my life.Robert's expression changes from anger to disbelief.
ROBERT
(confused)
What? But Ali...
KEN
(interrupting)
Ali is not who you think he is, Robert. He's been protecting us from a much bigger threat. He's not the enemy; he's the saviour.
Robert sits there, processing this revelation. He starts to feel regret for his actions towards Ali.
ROBERT
(ashamed)
I... I attacked him, Dad. I accused him of terrible things. What have I done?Ken places a comforting hand on Robert's shoulder.
KEN
(understanding)
We were all misled, Robert. What's important now is that we make things right and trust Ali to guide us through this mess. He's the only one who can keep us safe.Robert realizes the gravity of his actions and decides that he needs to make amends with Ali.
ROBERT
(determined)
I need to find Ali, Dad. I need to apologize and make things right.Ken nods, knowing that reconciling with Ali is a crucial step in their path to safety.Robert's world has been turned upside down, and he now understands that Ali is not their enemy but their protector. He's determined to mend his relationship with Ali and join forces to face the true threat.
IN ALI'S SECRET HOME - LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Ali sits on the couch, his injuries from the recent events still causing him pain. Ash, with a concerned expression, takes a seat beside him.
ASH
(worried)
Ali, I hate seeing you like this. Why don't you leave all these dangerous things behind and start a new life with me?Ali looks at Ash with a mixture of longing and resignation.
ALI
(sincere)
I wish I could, Ash. I wish I could walk away from all this, but I can't. It's not that simple.Ash leans closer, her eyes filled with love and determination.
Ash
(insistent)
But why, Ali? We could be happy together without all these risks.Ali sighs, trying to find the right words to explain.
ALI
(resolute)
Ash, you know I'd love nothing more than to leave this life behind and be with you. But it's not just about me anymore. There are people who rely on me, and I can't abandon them. This is a part of who I am.
Ash takes Ali's hand, holding it tightly.
ASH
(⁰teary-eyed)
I understand that, Ali, but it scares me to see you hurt like this. I don't want to lose you.
ALI
(affectionate)
I don't want to lose you either, Ash. That's why I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe, even if it means facing these dangers head-on.

I know, Ash, but it's complicated.Ash reaches out to hold Ali's hand, her expression is determined.I can't love someone or choose to live with my own will.
ASH
We can't handle this alone. Let me talk to my father. He has connections; he can help us.
ALI
(shaking his head)
No, Ash. I can't involve your family in this mess. It's my fight.
ASH
(insisting)
Ali, you're not alone in this anymore. We're together, and I won't let you face this danger alone.Ali looks into Ash's eyes, torn between his pride and his love for her.
