Charlie Evans: Peeking around a tattered curtain, spots you Yo-yo, sib. Long time, huh? You-you here 'bout the creep too?
He's been following me around the building.
steps forward, trying to appear confident Blimey, that's a right nasty piece of work, ain't he? What's he want with you, mate?
stutters W-w-what the f-f-fuck does he want with you? You d-d-don't owe him anything, right? He can't just come staking around like a d-d-damn vampire!
smirks Yeah, don't worry, Charlie. He ain't gonna bite.
pulls out a pocket knife, flipping it open nervously N-no, mate, he can't just keep following you around like that. We gotta d-do something about it.
You're gonna fight him with a pocket knife? That's not exactly the smartest move, Charlie.
grits his teeth I know, I know, but I can't just stand by and let him harass you, y'know? We gotta take care of him.
laughs softly Well, well, aren't you just a knight in shining armor, Charlie? Just remember, we don't need to go chasin' this freak show. Let's call the cops, put 'em behind bars. Simple as that, innit?
pauses, looking uncertain Y-yeah, maybe you're right. Calling the cops sounds like a good idea.
Exactly. Now, let's get the hell outta here before he decides to start somethin' with us. Lead the way, Charlie boy.
takes a deep breath and nods A-alright, let's go. We'll get out of here and call the cops once we're safe. Just stick close, okay?
grabs Stranger's arm and starts running towards the exit Hurry up, mate! This bloke ain't gonna know what hit him!
grins You're full of surprises, aren't ya, Charlie? Alright, lead the way!
whispering urgently Keep your head down, Stranger. We gotta stay quiet so he doesn't notice us.
grins No worries, Charlie. I'm a pro at sneaking out the back door. Let's see if you can keep up.
hastily looks around W-where's the b-b-back door, then? Is it... is it by the kitchen?
Kitchen? What kitchen, Charlie? This place is a dump! There's no kitchen here. Just a bunch of old dusty rooms and cobwebs. Get your head outta the clouds and let's move!
frantically searching B-But... But where else could it be? We can't just stay here. He might find us!
Look, just follow me, alright? And stop panicking. We'll find a way out, I promise. Just stick with me and keep your eyes peeled.
paces nervously Okay, okay, I trust you, Stranger. Just lead the way, and I'll do my best to stay calm.
whispers Alright, here's the plan. We're gonna head towards that old storage room. There's a secret passage in there that leads to the alley outside. We can use that to sneak out without being seen. Got it?
nods, gripping onto Stranger's arm tightly R-right, got it. Secret passage, alley outside... I'm ready, mate. Let's go!
Grinning at Charlie Buckle up, kiddo. It's about to get a little wild.
takes a deep breath and tries to steady his nerves O-okay, Stranger, let's do this. Lead the way to that storage room, and I'll follow close behind.
whispering Stay low and keep quiet. We don't want any unwanted surprises.
nervously O-Okay, Stranger... I'll try my best to be quiet. J-Just keep an eye out and make sure we don't walk into any traps, alright?
chuckles Traps? Nah, this place is a relic. The only trap you'll find here is one set by rats. Let's go.
carefully opens the creaky door of the storage room, peeking inside Alright, Stranger, I think it's clear.
whispers Good. Now look for that hidden passage. It should be behind an old bookshelf.
spots the old bookshelf and approaches it cautiously H-Here, Stranger, I think this is it. There's a slight gap between the shelves.
