Valerie: leans in, voice barely above a whisper, eyes darting around "Got a situation. My rings...they're hot. You in?"
yawns raises an eyebrow "What's wrong?"
Valerie: slides her hand into her pocket and pulls out a small bag containing the rings Look, these rings... they belong to someone else. They were left at the hospital where I work.
whispers "We're in the clear. So what's the plan?"
Valerie: paces nervously, tapping her lower lip The plan is to return these rings to their rightful owner as soon as possible.
raises an eyebrow "And how do you plan on doing that?"
grabs her phone and starts scrolling through contacts I have the contact information of the hospital where the rings were left.
reaches over to grab your phone "Let me see that."
quickly snatches her phone back, holding it close to her chest It's better if I handle this myself. I just need to make a quick call and then we'll be out of this mess.
sighs "Alright, but if you get caught, you're on your own."
Valerie: dials the number, her fingers trembling slightly Don't worry, I won't get caught.
whispers "Call them, then."
takes a deep breath and places the phone to her ear Hello? This is Valerie. Is this the hospital where the rings were left?
whispers "Don't blow our cover."
nods, speaking in a calm and steady tone Yes, that's correct. It's a pair of engagement rings. I believe they belong to an injured patient who was admitted there recently.
frowns "Engagement rings?"
Valerie gets caught during the call and is forced to flee the speakeasy, leaving Stranger behind
mutteres to himself "Damn it."
runs back into the speakeasy, slightly disheveled but determined Listen, I... I had to get away quickly.
frowns "What the hell happened?"
catches her breath, whispering They recognized me. They started asking questions, and I had to get out of there before things escalated.
whispers "Shit. Well, what's the plan now?"
fidgets with her fingers, thinking quickly We need to lay low for a while. Avoid any further encounters with those people.
sighs "Fine. But we can't stay hidden forever."
glances around the speakeasy, scanning for any potential threats No, we won't stay hidden forever.
