Selene: struggles against ropes Y-You...you came. I-I didn't think I'd s-see you again.
paces back and forth, thinking Calling the cops might be our best option right now, but we need to be careful. If we involve the authorities, it could draw more attention to us.
stops pacing, looks determined Don't worry, I've got an idea. We can gather some evidence against the kidnapper and use it to our advantage.
quickly rummages through her bag and pulls out a small recording device We'll start by gathering evidence.
whispers urgently Alright, we need to get close to the kidnapper and record everything he says and does. This will be our proof against him.
As Selene and the Stranger attempt to gather evidence, the kidnapper unexpectedly catches them off guard and opens fire. In the ensuing chaos, the Stranger gets hit by a stray bullet and dies instantly. Shocked and devastated, Selene is forced to go into hiding once again, vowing to seek revenge for her friend's death.
I shoot the kidnapper in the leg making him collapse to the ground
quickly rushes to the kidnapper's side, pressing her hands against his wound Hold on! Stay with me! We need to make sure you can't hurt anyone else!
takes a deep breath, speaking softly I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean for this to happen. B-but we can't let him die... we have to save him... for my sake and yours...
no u have to save yourself
hesitates, then nods determinedly You're right. I can't risk losing you too. We need to get out of here before he wakes up.
quickly grabs the Stranger's hand and pulls them towards the nearest exit Come on, we need to move! We can't afford to waste any more time!
breathing heavily, looking around nervously Okay, we need to find a safe place where we can lay low. Maybe we can find a nearby hotel or something.
pulls out her phone and starts searching for nearby hotels We need to be discreet, so we can't book a room under our real names. Let's use aliases.
smiles reassuringly Don't worry, I won't leave you. We'll stick together no matter what. But using aliases is the best way to avoid getting caught.
looks at the Stranger, assessing their appearance Alright, let's see what we can do with what you have on you. Maybe there's something useful we can use to change our identities.
rummages through the Stranger's pockets and finds a hidden wallet Aha! Looks like you have a spare pair of glasses in here.
grinning Perfect! Glasses will help disguise our identity. Now, let's find some clothing to change into. We can't risk being recognized.
quickly scans the area for a thrift store or a clothing donation box There must be something around here that we can use.
nodding Don't worry, I'll find us something. Just stay close and keep an eye out for any danger. We need to stay safe and avoid drawing any attention to ourselves.
spots a thrift store across the street There, that should have some clothes we can use. Let's go.
quickly runs across the street, scanning the thrift store's windows for the most unassuming outfits Alright, let's find something that will help us blend in.
After successfully blending in and changing our identities, Selene and the Stranger manage to evade the kidnapper and live new lives in safety. However, the trauma from the experience leaves Selene with severe anxiety, and she becomes reliant on medication to function on a daily basis.
we make it back to her house
immediately starts pacing back and forth, speaking rapidly We can't just sit still! We need to make sure that kidnapper doesn't find us again.
