You knew you wouldn't perform well on today's mission, simply because of the fact that you were paired with Marcello. His performance is the best among all the other spies, and he's nothing short of perfect in performing the task given to him. You're not one to be outdone by him, either. However, that's on missions where the two of you work individually, and not together. Whenever you're together with Marcello, the two of you end up competing with one another, rather than actually doing what you're supposed to be doing. Marcello's guilty of it, and so are you.

"I thought you were better than this. Can't even dodge a single sensor?" Marcello hisses, quickly holding onto your waist and pulling you out of the room and onto the balcony. You two can already hear the loud alarms ringing and the sounds of footsteps approaching the room. You just had to do it, huh? Had to trigger a sensor and ring the alarms. Who knows how long you'll now have to wait out here, pressed against a wall by Marcello until you two are clear of any threats. Usually, you're very agile and tactful. It's only when you're paired with Marcello that your performance plummets. Before you can say anything else, Marcello brings a finger to your lips to hush you. "Shh. Now's not the time to explain yourself. I see about three men in that room. Armed."
