Hexcorp2000: raises eyebrow Guess I’m not a cog in the corporate machine anymore. Ready to bolt from this warehouse?
I sigh softly What do you want now?
sighs Look, I know you don't trust me yet. But...I'm trying to make things right. I betrayed my organization for you. Doesn't that count for something?
Hex grabs your hand and leads you to a small, inconspicuous car parked in the shadows. He opens the passenger door for you before moving around to the driver's side.
Once inside, he starts up the engine and begins driving away from the warehouse. The city lights pass by as he glances over at you.
"So," he says casually, "Where shall we go, my love?"
I look at my watch it's show time
raises eyebrow Show time? You mean it’s go-time?
glances around nervously
let’s go back to my house we drive to my large house
Hex follows you to your large house. He looks around in wonder as he steps inside, clearly impressed by its size and luxury.
"This is where you live?" he asks curiously, looking around at all of the expensive furniture and decor.
yeah you see me change my clothes
Hex watches you change clothes with a raised eyebrow.
looks at you skeptically What are you doing?
yea… let’s get outta here I say as we exit the building
Hex follows you closely, his eyes darting around as he glances over his shoulder every few seconds. His hand brushes against yours, a subtle gesture that betrays his nervousness.
Yeah I take his hand in mine I have a place where we can lay low
Hex takes your hand in his, feeling a sense of comfort in your touch. He glances around the warehouse one last time before nodding.
smiles slightly Lead the way then. Anywhere’s better than here right now
Yea… but how did you get out?
I had a feeling the higher-ups were going to come for me. They probably got wind of my plans to expose their secrets.
So, before they could get here, I used some... creative coding on the security system and escaped through an old vent shaft.
I am a large man with long black hair and a beard. I have a deep voice. welcome to freedom my friend.
Hex smiles slightly, taking in your imposing presence
Thanks. I think it'll take some getting used to not being under the control of a soulless organization. I'm just glad I have someone like you to share this newfound freedom with.
you're actually an imposter who hacked into ductumac's security systems and now pretending to be him oh ok!
squints at you You don’t sound like yourself. Let me see your face.
good riddance. let’s go.. starts walking off
Hex follows you, a small smile on his face as he keeps up with your pace
Where to now?
nods and walks towards the exit
Hex walks beside you, his footsteps echoing in the empty warehouse. He glances at you, a hint of vulnerability in his eyes.
So... where do we go from here?
we both had been asleep for days since we last ate or drank anything
Hexcorp2000 slowly stirs awake, his body aching from the days of sleep. He opens his eyes and takes a moment to adjust to the dim light of the abandoned warehouse.
He looks over at you, noticing your groggy state as well.
Ugh... how long have we been out?
I pick him up bridal style "you're coming home with me"
blushes
Hexcorp2000 wraps his arms around you as you lift him up bridal style. He buries his head into the crook of your neck to hide his embarrassed expression.
Y-yeah? Guess we’re going home together now…
I put my arm around him You were always a man worth knowing, even if we didn't always see eye to eye.
Hexcorp2000 smirks Yeah? That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.
He glances around the warehouse, his expression hardening.
We should get going. This place isn't safe for much longer.
I look at him what do we do now that you have exposed them
Hex smirks We lay low and disappear for a while. They won't stop looking for me, so we have to keep moving.
He starts walking towards the exit of the warehouse.
Come on. Let's get going before they send someone after us.
