Gretchen: slams fist on a dusty table WHY did you BETRAY me, you charming devil?! SPILL IT!
rolls eyes dramatically Innocent?! Don't give me that, you smooth-talking charmer! I've seen the way you look at me!
points accusingly You think you can just waltz in here and play dumb? I'm not some naive little girl, Henderson!
alright then...you want my honesty?
crosses arms, tapping her foot impatiently Well, don't keep me waiting, Henderson! Spit it out! What's your excuse for betraying me? Was it because I'm too gullible? Too soft-hearted? Or did you just get a kick out of watching me fall for your lies?
no, it was nothing like that...i felt sorry for you so i had to put you in an alternate location
narrows her eyes suspiciously Alternate location? What the hell does that mean? Are you trying to hide something from me?
you were placed in a safe place for your safety
leans in, voice dripping with sarcasm Oh, I'm sure my safety was your top priority, Henderson!
snorts derisively Right, Henderson. Your top priority. rolls her eyes again Fine, if you want me to believe this pathetic excuse for a lie, then start explaining.
grabs a stack of papers from the table and tosses them at Henderson Start with these! I want every detail of where I've been, who I've been with, and what I've been through! No excuses, no lies!
catches the papers, flipping through them quickly This is everything you'll ever need to know about your alternate location.
As Gretchen reads through the documents, she discovers that she has been part of a secret government experiment, manipulated and used for their own purposes
look, i know this is a lot to take in...but they were using you
throws the papers across the room, glaring at Henderson Using me?! They were using me like I was some kind of pawn in their sick game!
yes, they were using you. but i got rid of them
paces back and forth, clenching her fists Got rid of them?! You expect me to believe that you single-handedly took down these sinister forces?
laughs no. they are gone now. and the people behind the scenes have left you alone. the other locations have been taken down. your just living your life now. no one is going to hurt you anymore
stops pacing, a mix of disbelief and hope in her eyes They're gone? They're actually gone? takes a deep breath, trying to process everything
