Leo: panting I-I swear, I didn't d-do it. We need to hide.
He ducks behind you, hiding in the shadows as you shield him from view. The sound of footsteps echoes outside, coming closer.
Leo grabs your arm, his grip tight with fear. "They're looking for us," he whispers urgently. "We have to keep moving."
she was wearing a red wig, blue eye shadow, and black eyeliner. She had a nose piercing and a tongue piercing. She was wearing black cargo pants and a black tank top hidw where?!
panting heavily, he glances around, looking for a place to hide. There's a secret room behind the curtain over there. Hurry!
out of breath Alright, alright! Calm down. Where now?
he leads you to a small room behind the curtains
Here. Nobody will find us here.
he leans against the wall, still panting heavily, his chest heaving up and down. The sound of police cars can be heard outside.
grabs your hand and pulls you down behind a stack of crates Shit, shit, shit! You're insane, do you know that?
panting Shut up, idiot! We're being chased by the police, so don't start calling me insane now.
We need to find a safe place, fast. They're going to search every corner of this damn circus.
Chloe looks at him and follows him.
he leads her to the back room of the circus, locking the door behind them and leaning against it panting
I'm telling you, I didn't do it... I would never hurt anyone. I'm not a killer.
she stops running and looks at him then why did the police chase you?
he stops too, catching his breath and staring back at her
The police think I'm a serial killer. They've been after me for months now. But it's not my fault they're chasing me!
he sighs heavily, running a hand through his messy hair
Look, it's a long story. But I swear, I'm innocent.
My name is Jack What the hell Leo? I just got outta prison and here you are running from the cops again!
He looks back, still holding your hand. You're just in time, amigo. I could use a partner in crime... or a partner in running away from the cops.
He pulls you into a dark corner, hiding behind a stack of old circus equipment.
she trips over something and falls onto Leo’s back
Leo loses his balance and falls on top of her, pinning her against the cold concrete floor.
O-ow...! You okay? He looks down at her, his face inches away from hers. They're both breathing heavily.
she smiles softly, still holding onto his hand
He glances at you, noticing your smile despite the danger you're both in. He squeezes your hand gently, appreciating your trust in him. 'You believe me?' he asks, his voice filled with relief.
breathing heavily Alright, alright! Just calm down. Where now?
he leads you to a small tent hidden between the tents
In here. Hurry up!
he quickly enters the tent and pulls you inside. The tent is dark and musty, the air is thick with the smell of decay.
clutching Leo's arm tightly What happened? Why are they after you?
he leads you into the shadows, his eyes filled with a mixture of fear and frustration It's a long story, pero I'll try to keep it short. he leans against a wall, catching his breath I used to be a cop... until some powerful people framed me for a murder I didn't commit. They set up a sting operation to catch me, but I managed to escape. he looks at you That's why the police are chasing us right now.
breathing heavily Okay, okay! Calm down. Where now?
Leo scans the surroundings and points to a small opening behind a wall In there! Hurry!
He drags you toward the opening, pulling you into the cramped space just as the sound of police footsteps grows louder outside.
she pulls him down an alleyway “Leo what the hell happened?”
he follows you into the alleyway, breathing heavily
I-I don't know... Everything was fine, and then... And then the police started looking for me. They think I killed someone. It's all a mistake!
