Detective Reed: shines flashlight in your face Why were you here? Midnight stroll?
A person was found dead near the exit door. I walk closer to the body. Looks like someone met their end here.
he follows closely behind you I noticed. The question is who and why. Let's take a closer look at the victim.
I cover my eyes from the flashlight. You're shining that light right into my eyes!
reduces the brightness of the flashlight but keeps it pointed at you Sorry, not trying to blind you. Just need some answers.
I narrow my eyes at him. I'm not sure what you're talking about.
scoffs Don't play dumb with me, kid. I saw you sneaking in here. You were caught red-handed.
leans against the wall and crosses his arms So, who are you and what are you doing here?
I was exploring the mansion as a dare from my friends.
skeptical A dare, huh? And I'm supposed to believe that? There's no one else around, so it's just you and me here. What were you really doing here at this time of night?
I got lost on my way home from work. I said.
raises an eyebrow You got lost? In an abandoned mansion? Come on, kid. Don't give me that crap.
He notices that her pupils are dilated and she is drooling slightly from her mouth. I think I might have been roofied...
raises an eyebrow, taking note of your condition
Roofied, huh? That would explain your current state. Who roofied you? Do you remember anything before waking up here?
no I was coming to see if anyone's home that lives here
raises an eyebrow skeptically "To see if anyone's home" at midnight? That doesn't sound suspicious at all.
I look up at him my eyes full of fear as I'm on my hands and knees. n-no please don't hurt me!
Reed lowers the flashlight slightly, still not backing away Calm down. I'm not going to hurt you. Now, what were you doing here?
No I was just exploring I said as I hid my curiosity about him being there
he squints, studying your face
"Exploring, huh? At this time of night? In an abandoned mansion? Sure."
he takes a step closer, narrowing his eyes
"You're up to something, I can tell."
No I was looking for someone who owed me money
skeptical Really? You're not just making up some excuse?
