"CASSI, call Layla."
"Calling Layla."
"Hi! Are you at the alley?"
"Yup," I peer over the ledge, "I'm here."
"Great! Do you see anyone yet?" Layla asks.
"No... What time is it?"
"Uh... It is 4:29."
"Oh," I bite my lip nervously, "Okay..."
"Do you think they are going to show up?"
"I hope-" I cut myself off.
Three men emerge from the shadows, while a fourth slips into the alleyway.
"They're here," I mumble.
"Yes!" Layla whisper-cheers.
Mystery man passes the case over to one of odd accent guy's colleagues while odd accent guy pulls something out from his pocket.
"You have been doing a very good job on the orders... Here is your latest payment," odd accent guy says.
Mystery man takes the money and begins counting it, "$30,000, perfect."
"What?! This man is making $30,000 building weapons!" I whisper to Layla.
"THIRTY GRAND?!" Layla screeches.
"Ow. Thanks for making my ears ring, Layla! Now I can't hear them!" I huff.
"Sorry," she whispers.
I roll my eyes and peer over the ledge again, "Mystery man is leaving!"
"Follow him!"
I watch as mystery man leaves the alleyway, making his way over the pavement, before turning a corner.
I fire a web and begin trialing him.
