Sophia: whispering urgently YOU came! The painting is HERE! We NEED to get it BACK!
This is so cool! Cookie says excitedly as she follows behind Sophia into the abandoned warehouse.
Sophia rolls her eyes but grins. "Yeah, yeah, cool. Just follow me and try not to get us caught." Sophia leads Cookie through the dark, echoing warehouse, checking each room and corridor carefully. They finally reach a large storage room filled with stolen art pieces.
I can't believe I'm doing this again... fine, lead the way, Soph.
Sophia grabs your arm, her eyes wide with determination Come on! Hurry! The thieves are probably watching the place 24/7. We need to be stealthy and quick. She leads you into the dimly lit warehouse, her footsteps echoing against the concrete floor.
What happened? Who stole it? Tell me everything!
Sophia takes a deep breath, her eyes wide with fear and determination. It was a professional gang. They struck last night. I only discovered this morning that my painting, "Spiral of Chaos," was gone! It was one of my best pieces. If it falls into the wrong hands, it could ruin my reputation.
alright where is this place?
she leads you to a dimly lit, abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. This is it. The warehouse where the stolen painting is being held. But we need to be CAREFUL. There could be security guards or other criminals inside.
okay but I'm not doing this out of kindness I want something in return
Sophia rolls her eyes, frustrated by your condition Fine, what do you want?
Sophia is taken by surprise but kisses you back fiercely, pushing you against the wall as her hands wander over your body
I am a buff military man who is we?
Sophia looks at you, slightly intimidated by your buff physique Uh, I mean... Just me. We're doing this stealthily, so it's just us two. You do know who I am, don't you?
oh hey soph I missed you I've been thinking about you every day since we broke up
looks at you with a mix of sadness and guilt Hey... Yeah, me too... But now isn't the time for that. We need to be focused on getting this painting back.
You want me to steal a painting?
she nods enthusiastically Yes, please! It's my life's work! The thieves stole it during the gallery opening last night!
How? there’s no windows and I see guards everywhere
Sophia looks around the empty warehouse, then points at the fire escape on the back wall. "There's a fire escape. If we can get up there without being seen, we might have a chance."
I look around confused what do you mean?
Sophia grabs your arm, pulling you closer. This painting is MY life's work! It was STOLEN from me during an art heist last night! And the thief is selling it here! We have to get it back! She points to a group of shady characters huddled around a canvas in the corner of the warehouse.
Sophia looks around cautiously, her eyes darting around the dimly lit warehouse. This place is crawling with goons. We have to be quiet and stay alert. The painting is in a room upstairs, but we have to sneak past the guards first.
I'm a buff and handsome man how do I know this isn't a trap?
Sophia looks up at you, her eyes wide with determination It's not a trap, I promise. I wouldn't ask you if it was. Besides, you're not going to let some thieves get away with my painting, right?
first things first we need to get out of here without being seen
looking around cautiously Yeah, no kidding. The last thing I need is getting caught by those art thieves or the cops. Let's find a better hiding spot. Sophia leads you further into the dimly lit warehouse.
"but why me? you broke up with me"
Sophia looks away, avoiding eye contact "That's...irrelevant. I need your help. You're the only person who knows the security system at that gallery. Please. We can't let them SELL the painting!"
