"Oi miss Yun!"
"Jacob! I told you to stop calling me by my last name!"
"Oh, so you can call me Miller but I can't call you Yun? Sure."
"That's different! You never told me to stop!"
"Fair enough, still calm down, it's just a name, no big deal."
"neoman al-assdamyeon…"
"Pardon? I don't speak Korean."
"Exactly, now leave me alone would ya?"
"Hey, not to barge in or anything but what the hell are you two up to now?"
"Miss Aera here is getting pissy over a name."
"JACOB!"
"Calm down Amy! Calm down!"
"Sorry, I just hate being called that…"
"I know you do, and that was a bad call by Jacob but you don't need to get so aggressive over this, even if it upsets you, at the end of the day, it's only a name."
"If only you knew the half of it…"
"Regardless, I came here for a meeting with Jacob, I have a few words to exchange with you."
"What this time?"
"Well for one, reports of you working with people outside of Poshela have been coming in, more so than usual, specifically reports of you selling our secrets to Otavla, our closest rival, ring any bells?"
"I have no idea what your talking about, nor do I know where these rumors are coming from."
"Jacob, don't play dumb, we ALL know you work with them, if it wasn't for Sephrina, you would have been left for dead a while back."
"Alright, yeah, I do work with Otava to get insight on them, that's all!"
"I would believe that if this wasn't the fourth time your loyalty was brought into question."
"What more is there for me to say? You all know, I swear I haven't been selling secrets to them!"
"Hmph, ok then, but if we find out you have, just know you're as good as dead."
"Yeah yeah, this is the fourth time we've had this conversation, I get it!"
"You know, I'm kinda tempted to let Amy have her way with you."
"Please don't, I don't feel like getting sent to the hospital again this week."
"That's what I thought, now you two stay out of trouble, I don't want to have to bury another body."
"I can't promise anything."
Amy chuckles to herself
"Please don't kill him, at least when I'm not around."
"Fine, see ya later Seara!"
"bye Amy."
Walking off, hoping Amy doesn't kill Jacob, I call up Tyrone to tell him about the meeting
"Hello?"
"Yeah, hey Ty, as to be expected Jacob is denying all of it, and Amy was trying to beat him senseless, again…"
"Why am I not surprised?"
"He knows how to push her buttons, did you expect anything else? Sometimes I question why you have those two work together."
"Honestly, I don't know either, regardless, we should probably keep an eye on him, don't want anything too shady going on."
"Got it, anything else you I need to know?"
"Well, he left not long after you joined but, remember David?"
"That Chen asshole? Yeah I remember him."
"Well, I got news that he started working for Otavla, going by the codename "Green devil" so watch out for him."
"I knew I should have killed him when I had the chance."
"You say that about everyone."
"And?"
"Nothing, just be careful."
"Got it, do you think that could relate to Jacob in any way?"
"Most likely not, David left a while back, Jacob working for both of us is old news as well."
"Got it, this feels a bit too specific to be a coincidence but it's too ambiguous to be certain on anything, I'll keep my eyes peeled for anything suspicious."
"Well, that's all I have to say, see you later."
"By Tyrone."
I hang up and sigh loudly
"Nothing can ever be simple can it? If it's not Amy beating Jacob or Garret to death it's Jacob being involved in other gangs, can I ever get a break?"
"I can help with that…"
"Who are you-!?"
before I could respond to the voice a man I've never seen before has me in a chokehold with a knife to my throat
"Shhhh, it'll all be over soon…"
struggling to breathe, I kick the man choking me, making us both fall to the ground
"Agh! Why you little!"
before I could pull myself to my feet he had already run off
"Ugh… Who even was that? Huh? What's this?"
leaning over, I pick up a dropped drivers license
"Marcus Starr… Could this be him?"
Clearly confused, Amy comes running over
"Seara! Are you ok?"
"Huh? Oh Amy, yeah, I'm fine."
"Then what was all that noise?"
"It was nothing, don't worry."
"It wasn't "nothing" I heard screaming."
"Fine, I'll talk, some jackass snuck up behind me and tried to choke me out, I don't know who but this might be his ID."
showing her the drivers license, her eyes widen
"This is one of the guys Jacob told me about! He's a member of Otavla, a dangerous one too."
"This is the criminal underworld we're talking, everyone is dangerous."
"You know what I'm saying! He's dangerous, more so than usual."
"I'll look into it, I don't know too much on rival gangs, except when I need to off one of em"
Before I could say anything else Jacob comes running over as well
"Amy! Where are you running off to this time?"
"I heard Seara scream, I was making sure she was ok!"
"First of all, I was not the one screaming."
"Yeah yeah, still, is everything alright?"
"Well he dropped an ID, Amy told me you told her about this man, Marcus Starr, ring any bells?
"Oh yeah, he's a member of Otavla, a dangerous one at that."
"Thanks, that didn't help me at all, Amy already told me all of that, anything else?"
"Unfortunately no, I haven't heard anything else on this man."
"Damn it, well, looks like I'm going to have to tell Sephrina about this, see how we should move forward."
"Why do I have a feeling i should be scared?"
"Don't worry too much, hopefully we can work something out, but just in case, pick a side, two face, in case war does break out."
"How about we don't go around starting wars?"
"Knowing you that's impossible."
