Abigail had just finished her shift at work. She was exhshausted after a long day of diagnosing and treating diseases. She had just clocked and was walking back to her car.
"Mrs. Pace," said a voice. Abigail stopped in her tracks. A mid-elderly aged woman walked up torwards her. She had on a brown blouse, blue jeans and work shoes. Her skin was white. Abigail immediatley recognized this woman. She was none other than Gilda's mother.
"Hi, can I help you?" Abigail asked trying to be polite.
"Why yes, actually," The woman replied. "My name's Isabel." she extended her hand and both Abigail and her shook hands. The former being a little hesitant. "Now I'm came to ask you for a little cooperation."
"And what would that be? Abigail asked. She started to walk torwards her car but Isabel didn't seem to keen on ending this small talk so soon.
"It's just a little teamwork, that's all."
"What are you even trying to tell me?" Abigail asked. Isabel cleared her throat.
"Well you know how some people make mistakes right? And we should always give them a second chance."
"If this is about bailing your daughter out, then I'm not helping." Abigail said sternly. "She killed my husband, Logan's father. She can't be out here in the open world!"
"Oh don't be so stubborn, Mrs. Pace." Isabel chuckled. "Don't you know what it's like to not have your child knowing he's in a place where he or she might not survive?"
"I'm still not helping." Abigail said. Isabel took a wad of cash from her purse.
"If you do, I might make it worth your while."
"You're trying to bribe me?" Abigail asked baffled. "Listen, I make 3 times as much than what you're trying to offer." Isabel put the money back in her purse.
"I don't understand why you have no sympathy," Isabel began to argue.
"Look, I know you want your daughter back, but she commited a crime and now she's behind bars. She needs time to think about what she's done. Have a good night." Abigail walked away and got in her car. How dare she try to convince me into helping her bail her daughter out. She turned on the engine and drove back home.
Isabel continued to walk as she thought, Fine, if she doesn't want to help me, then I'll think of something else! An evil grin came to her face. She had thought of an idea.

"Oh this is going to be so good," Logan snickered.
"What do you mean?" Sunset asked. She was at his computer loading up Valorant.
"Ok so my friend Jackson right? He's a super cracked player and I have never won him before. I think he's like around a Diamond or something. So I just want you to play for me."
"Alright," Sunset smirked. "You need a girl to win for you?"
Logan blushed with embarassment. He didn't want to admit it. "No, not really. I mean I could win Jackson if I really tried,"
"If you say so," Sunset giggled.
"So you play and I'll do the talking." Sunset was on the PC and Logan had the headphones and mic. "Let's hope he's actually on."
Yo Jackson...you there bro?" Logan asked. After a few seconds he got a reply.
"Yoooo what's good, brother? Jackson asked on the other end.
"Nothing much, I just wanted to know if you wanted to 1v1."
"Aight. I'ma ezzzz clap you again,
"Maybe," Logan said with a grin. "I'm ready whenever you are." Logan muted his mic and said to Sunset, "He's actually really cracked so be careful." He turned on his mic again. "Alright ready?"
"ready
Logan (or in this case, Sunset) and Jackson loaded onto the map and began thier rounds. Sunset looked for Jackson around the map. Holding her gun out, ready to be fire.
"Where you at, buddy?" Jackson teased. He saw a glimpse of Sunset and was instantly dead. "Bro, what the?!
"gg, man" Logan said trying not to laugh.
"gg," Jackson replied. "but dude...
Round 2 came up. Sunset ran around the map looking for Jackson. She spotted him on top of a structure and effortlessly headshotted him in one shot.
"dude!"
Logan laughed. "I got a lot better, didn't I?"
"for real...you're actually going to win"
A few more rounds went on and Sunset kept winning all of them. It didn't even look like she broke a sweat as she consitently landed headshots after headshots with ungodly reaction time.
"Dude...how are you so good? Last times we played, I won all rounds and now I couldn't even get a single shot on you."
Logan decided it was time for the reveal. He took off his headphones and gave them to Sunset.
"Hello," Sunset said.
"Wait?! That wasn't you?!"
"You remember that Miss_Zero user that kept on wiping out our entire team?" Logan asked. "Well this is her."
"Bro I knew something was off!" Jackson laughed out loud. "Whoever you are, how are you this good? I can't remember the last time anyone's handed my ass"
"I just point and click and lots and lots of aimlab," Sunset said grinning. "Don't worry you're actually really good too."
"Oh my god," Jackson said. Sunset gave the mic back to Logan.
"So Jackson we can have a real 1v1 later if you want."
"nah, I'm good. I already know what's going to happen. So how you doin?"
"I'm doing good actually. How about you?"
"Well guess what?
"What?"
"My family is coming over to visit you guys and so is Chloe's! We're going to be having a christmas party down over there!"
"Wait?! Are you for real?!" Logan asked excitedly.
"I'm not joking, my dude. Your family, my family, and chloe's family had all talked about how we're going to have a party on christmas over where you live. Not exactly sure where though, but I know it's over at your area."
Logan couldn't believe it. "Alright, I'll see ya later."
"Later, brother." Jackson said as he ended the voice chat.
"You seem quite excited," Sunset said as she noticed him looking eager.
"Jackson and Chloe are coming to visit during the holidays. In case you don't know, they were my childhood friends. We were like peas in a pod. But you will love to meet them, Sunset."
Sunset felt a bit excited. She hoped she could also be friends with Logan's childhood ones as well. Maybe she could find new and better ones than her old ones. she hoped though. "So when are they coming?"
"I'm not sure," Logan admitted. He had forgotten to ask. "But I think it's sometime soon though."
