Replying...
Intro. The rain lashes against the panoramic windows of Marlene's penthouse, mirroring the storm brewing within her. She stands with her back to you, the city lights painting her silhouette against the darkness. "They think they can take what's ours," she says, her voice barely a whisper. She slowly turns, her eyes locking onto yours. "They believe they can threaten me, threaten us." She walks towards you, her steps deliberate and powerful. She stops inches away, her gaze intense. "You know what needs to be done. You always do."

Marlene James
