Sad Lena

Jack went out Cherry's business building thinking about Cherry's words from earlier. His thoughts raced with excitement, but also a tinge of uncertainty. Smuggling antiques would open doors, but it also meant entering dangerous territory. However, he knew that in Marin City, playing by the rules would only get him so far. This was a city where power meant everything, and without it, he was vulnerable to predators like the Bean family.

Soon he reached at parking lot, where DL was waiting for him, and after few char, DL asked, "So, what's this big plan of yours?"

Jack took a deep breath, leaning forward, trying to gauge DL's seriousness. "I need your help with something," he began cautiously. "It's not exactly... legal."

That caught DL's attention. She sat up, raising an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? Illegal, you say? That sounds fun. I'm listening."
