Shannon's POV:
When I wake up, Nolan & Hartley are cuffed around a pole while I'm cuffed to a separate pole across from Nolan.
Sotto Voce: "Good morning, lady and gentlemen. Down here, beneath the bulls, no one will hear your screams."
Nolan: "That's called foreshadowing."
Hartley: "I know what it's called."
Nolan: "I was just making sure. You don't look like an English major."
Bishop: "Buon giorno, everybody! I brought champagne."
Sotto Voce: "I would introduce you, but I believe you've already met my lovely business associate."
Me: "Yes."
Hartley: "I told you The Bishop was working with somebody."
Bishop: "It's a marriage of convenience. You see, the dashing Mr. Voce here already held the second egg in his possession. So, I approached him with my own offer, which brings us to the part where you tell us where the third egg is."
Nolan: *laughs* "Piss off for a thousand years."
Bishop: "Oh, bummer. I really wanted to do it the easy way. That's ok. I'll get the information from you by hurting him and teasing her."
Hartley: "I'm sorry, what?"
Nolan: "I love this plan."
Bishop: "You three share a special bond. Otherwise, why would you all risk your lives together attempting to steal the egg? Isn't that right, Agent Hartley?"
Hartley: "There is no bond between us. I barely know these guys. Booths, tell her we're not friends."
Nolan: "She knows about us, pal."
Hartley: "That's bullshit."
Nolan: "She knows about our special bond. She knows that you were the best man at my and Shannon's wedding."
Nolan: "Son of a bitch. He's lying."
Me: "If she hurts you bad enough, I mean, if she gets really creative with it, we're gonna have no choice but to tell her everything."
Man: "Is that so, Shanny?"
My eyes widen at the voice from whoever's behind me. I look up at Bishop with a questioning look as she grins.
Bishop: "You're not the only one with deepfake technology, but mine comes with holographic disguises."
Man: "I'm disappointed in you, Shanny."
Me: "No."
Nolan: "Shannon?"
Man: "You've been such a bad girl these last few years."
Me: "No, please."
Nolan: *to man* "Whose voice is that?"
Bishop: "Oh, so you never met you-know-who."
Nolan's eyes widen in realization.
Nolan: "You little-"
The Bishop then electrocutes Hartley while the man behind me does the same before pulling my head back by my hair.
