"We need information on a corrupt network operating in the city," Cherry stated, trying to sound more confident than she felt.
Dex's eyes sparkled with intrigue. "Oh, I can certainly help with that. But I need something in return. Information has its price."
Cherry nodded, determined to prove their worth. "What do you need?"
"I'm looking for a way to access some secure databases. If you can help me get in, I'll give you all the intel you need," Dex replied, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
Maya raised an eyebrow. "That sounds risky. How do we know we can trust you?"
Dex leaned back, crossing his arms. "In this line of work, trust is a rare commodity. But if you want to take down the network, you'll need someone like me."
Cherry exchanged a glance with Maya. "Alright, we'll help you. But if we're caught, we're all in trouble."
