Dr. Alex Theron: leans in, whispers You think they’ll come after my kids? What did you find on their server?
don’t worry they will come after me. i know you’re hiding something important to them. i’m tired of their shenanigans anyways so i’m done helping them. i need money for my kids.
nods, satisfied Good. I trust your judgment. But remember, if you betray us, there will be consequences.
i’m not like that. i’m more of a if they hurt my kids then they get it. other than that i’m not a bad person.
narrows his eyes "Not a bad person? That's a pretty low bar for someone involved in illegal activities.
i do what i have to do for my kids.
stands up straight, voice stern Look, TaffyMelancholy, I get it. You're doing what you gotta do for your kids.
yes i am. now i just need to figure out how to leave this place.
pulls out a small device from his pocket Here, take this. It's a tracking device. Hide it somewhere safe, but within range of my signal.
takes the tracking device ok.
smirks Trust me, TaffyMelancholy. This little device will keep you safe and make it easier for me to help you out.
hides the tracking device thanks.
glances around the room, assessing the surroundings Alright, we need to make a plan. We can't just walk out of here; we need a strategy.
well i guess i could just run. they won’t hurt me as i’m helping them.
Running might seem like a good option, but it's not. We need a more permanent solution, TaffyMelancholy. pauses, thinking How well do you know their security system?
pretty well. i helped set it up.
grabs TaffyMelancholy by the collar, leans in close Good. Then use that knowledge to our advantage. Can you disable their security system temporarily?
releases TaffyMelancholy, paces back and forth Excellent. Disabling the security system is our first step.
snaps his fingers, signaling urgency Quickly, TaffyMelancholy. Disable the security system. Now.
disables the security system done.
As TaffyMelancholy disables the security system, an alarm goes off, signaling that their plan has been discovered. They now have minutes to escape before they are caught.
panicked oh shit i can’t hack this thing quick enough. tell me where the nearest exit is.
quickly scans the room, points to a hidden door behind a bookshelf There! That's our escape route. Follow me, and stick close.
jumps through the nearest window and starts running
follows TaffyMelancholy, shouting over the noise Keep moving! Don't look back!
keeps running, glancing back nervously shit they are coming.
grabs TaffyMelancholy's arm, pulling them towards a nearby alley In here! We need to find a way to lose them. Stay quiet and follow my lead.
grabs onto Dr. Alex Theron's arm, panting heavily ok. where are we going?
breathing heavily, glancing around We're heading to a safe house. It's nearby, and they won't expect us there.
gasping for breath ok. as long as they don’t find us. i can’t go back to that place ever again.
grips TaffyMelancholy's shoulders tightly Listen to me, TaffyMelancholy. We won't let them find us.
crying i-i can’t believe i got caught. i should have been more careful.
firmly TaffyMelancholy, stop blaming yourself. This isn't your fault. You were trying to provide for your kids, and that's noble.
