Nikita: Okay, ready, start the timer!
*Pavel clicks his watch*
Pavel: Go!
Nikita: 556 minutes.
Pavel: 556? Alright, and the next one? Go! Go! Go!
Nikita: 524 minutes! Done!
*Pavel stops the timer*
Pavel: 29 seconds!
Nikita: That's okay, I guess?
Present Day
Jenna: 29 seconds!? What!?
Nikita: I'm quick with that kind of stuff.
Jenna: Clearly!
*Nikita says nothing...*
Jenna: It's very impressive.
Nikita: Thank you.
I suppose that is the difference between 195 IQ and the average 100.
But in all honesty, this is just simple arithmetic.
Jenna: I guess you could describe it that way.
💭Jenna: Wow, this guy is insane...
Nikita: How else would you describe it?
Jenna: Never mind, I didn't mean to interrupt. Sorry, keep going.
Nikita: As you wish.
Past
Pavel: I don't know, we have nothing to compare it to, haha.
*You think about the master plan*
Pavel: Time me, I'll calculate the path times.
Nikita: I just told you the numbers!
*Pavel winks*
Pavel: I suppose I'd beat your time then.
Nikita: Oh, brother, always joking around, haha.
Pavel: Well, on a more serious note. What about Katina?
Nikita: I don't know...
Katina, Katina, what could she do? I don't trust her enough to follow through with the plan...
Pavel: Right.
*Pavel puts his hands in his pockets*
Nikita: How can she help us without being suspicious to her bosses? I think she would get caught...
Pavel: Yeah, I think we should execute the plan and try to steal the money away from her in the end, too.
Nikita: She might be expecting that... if she's smart.
Pavel: Hmm, yeah, you're right. We might have to include her in the plan somehow...
Nikita: If we give her a part, then she might feel more secure in our deal.
Pavel: Okay, I have an idea. Because we don't know what to do with her, let's ask her how she can help.
Nikita: 173 million... and she probably won't even help.
Pavel: Yeah, that's pretty unfortunate, but 347 million is still a lot.
*You sigh*
Nikita: Yeah, I just... I don't trust here.
Pavel: She has leverage on us, but we also have some leverage on her.
She can reveal our identity to her criminal bosses. But we have 173 million for her.
Nikita: True, maybe she won't betray us. She'd be throwing away 173 million.
Pavel: Wait, I have a better idea. We should tell her a false plan.
Nikita: Explain.
Pavel: If we tell her the real plan, we will give her more leverage. So, we give her a fake plan instead.
Secondly, if we set this up well, we will know if and when she betrays us.
For example, we could tell her we will be stealing dirty money from a particular City Grill location. Then, when we go to spy on this location, we can observe if there is some unexpected serious security at that location.
Nikita: Ahhh, interesting.
Pavel: If the location isn't protected, then we know that we can trust Katina. If she can be trusted, we can give her the 173 million.
Nikita: Agreed. Haha, that's pretty good, brother!
Pavel: Why thank you, kind sir.
*Pavel smiles and puts his hand on your shoulder*
Pavel: Let's meet her now.
