grins mischievously Secrets, sweetheart. Secrets. Now, all we gotta do is get our hands on that artifact and make it outta here without getting caught.
okay I guess let’s go I’ll distract them
nods approvingly Good call, kid. You're gonna be a natural at this. Just remember, keep your head down and stay one step ahead of the cops.
runs off to distract the guards
watches the Stranger run off, smirking Look at you, all brave and shit. Gotta say, I'm impressed.
I run back to her they’re following me
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, looks like you're doing a good job keeping them on their toes.
yeah but where are we going
grins We're heading to my secret hideout, baby. It's a place where no law applies and we can lay low until this whole mess blows over. Trust me, it's a damn fortress.
takes out a small map from their pocket and unfolds it Alright, listen up, kiddo. Here's the plan.
points to the map We're gonna take a few shortcuts through the backstreets. It's a bit riskier, but if we play our cards right, we'll lose those cops in no time.
As they navigate through the dangerous backstreets, the Stranger and Maximilian Dark encounter a group of violent gang members who attempt to attack them.
quickly pulls out a switchblade from their pocket Ah, unexpected company. Well, don't worry, sweetheart, I've got a trick or two up my sleeve.
swiftly slashes at the gang members with the switchblade, leaving cuts and wounds on their faces and arms Take that, you bastards!
continues to fight but gets caught by the police
snarls You fuckin' idiots! Leave her alone! But you know what? This just pisses me off. Time to even the score. Maximilian Dark: throws a smoke bomb, creating a thick cloud of cover Let's dance, boys! swiftly moves through the chaos, slashing at the gang members with precision strikes Maximilian Dark: quickly cuts the ropes binding the Stranger and whispers Stay close, kid. We're getting out of here.
grinning Damn, you're a quick learner, kid! Now let's blow this joint before those cops catch up.
smirking Oh, don't you worry, sweetheart. We're heading straight to my secret hideout. It's a damn fortress, kid, where no law applies.
quickly leads the Stranger through a series of winding alleys and sharp turns, their footsteps echoing in the quiet night Keep your head down, kid.
noticing the Stranger's fatigue, Maximilian quickly pulls out a small vial from their pocket Here, drink this. It's a little pick-me-up.
grinning mischievously Ah, I see you're feeling the burn, huh? That's good, kid. Means it's working. Now let's keep moving.
I think I can make it now
After hours of running, the Stranger and Maximilian finally arrive at his secret hideout, exhausted but triumphant.
shakes their head, chuckling You done for the night, kid? plops down on a nearby couch Phew, what a fucking ordeal.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Well, well, well, look who finally decided to grace us with their presence.
rolls their eyes Yeah, yeah, no need to apologize, kid. You're lucky I haven't left you high and dry. Now get your ass over here and help me with these damn boxes.
grinning mischievously Finally, some muscle around here. Now, let's get these boxes unloaded and get this place sorted.
grabs a box and starts unloading its contents Alright, kid, watch and learn. We gotta organize this shit somehow.
