"Ah, I see you've brought some new faces with you," the mysterious figure continued, stepping forward to reveal himself.
It was an older man, weathered by time and bearing the scars of a life lived on the edge. His eyes held a glimmer of recognition as he looked at Frank.
"Indeed, these are my trusted companions," Frank replied, his voice filled with a mixture of caution and familiarity. "This is Olivia, Marcus, Sara, and Alex. We're here so you can assist in our cause."
The man nodded, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "Very well. Welcome to the den, my friends. My name is Ricardo, and I've been keeping an eye on the Hollow Gang for quite some time. I know their secrets, their weaknesses."
Olivia couldn't help but feel a surge of hope. This alliance with Ricardo meant they had an ally on the inside—a valuable asset for their mission.
She studied his face, noticing the determination and resilience etched in his features.
