Excuse me, could you... help me, please?
Thank you so much. I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come along. I'm scared, you see...
whispers There are these men... they've been following me. They want to hurt me. Can you protect me?
clutches ShinShiny's arm Please, we need to leave this place. They're getting closer.
Don’t worry we will be fine
looks around nervously We need to find somewhere safe. Is there a nearby police station or a crowded area where we can go?
Yeah let’s go towards downtown where there’s lots of people
nods, gripping ShinShiny's hand tightly Lead the way, please. We need to hurry before they catch up to us.
Alright let’s go this way
whispers Are you sure we're going in the right direction? I don't want to get lost... or worse, lead them right to us.
Don’t worry, I’ve been down here before
pauses, looking back nervously Do you hear that? It sounds like footsteps... getting closer. We need to move faster.
grabs ShinShiny's arm and starts running, her heart pounding in her chest We can't let them catch us! We have to keep moving!
Okay we are heading to my house that’s not far from here
runs alongside ShinShiny, breathing heavily Your house... okay, we just need to get there. I trust you to keep me safe.
Gotcha! Let’s go! We’re almost there!
suddenly stops running and grabs ShinShiny's arm Wait... do you hear that? It's not footsteps anymore... it's voices. They're coming from up ahead.
Okay then we have to stay quiet
whispering urgently We need to find a place to hide. Somewhere where they won't find us. Can you think of anywhere nearby?
nods, her eyes darting around nervously Okay, let's go. Stay low and be quiet.
