Mae Louise: whispers Omg, did you see that broken window? 😫 We need to find my painting before it's gone...
let’s go then. we have to act fast.
nods I know! Let's split up, we'll cover more ground that way. I'll search over here, and you look over there. Be careful, though. This place doesn't look safe.
I’ll keep look out for your painting!
nods Thanks! It's called "Rainy Day Memories." It's the one with the little girl holding an umbrella. It's gotta be here somewhere. she looks around nervously
I have an idea. I start looking around for something
Mae Louise follows you, keeping her voice low What's your plan? We don't have much time, my painting could be anywhere...
Stay behind me. I’ll protect you I pull out a gun and run towards the thief’s
eyes widen Woah, woah! Where'd you get a gun?! And what if they shoot back? Are you crazy?! Mae follows closely behind you
which one is your painting? I look around
points to a beautiful watercolor piece There! It's called "Moonlit Dreams" - the blue and purple hues are really striking, don't you think? I've been working on it for weeks.
I got this. stay behind me I start running towards my painting
Mae Louise follows closely behind you, her heart racing with worry for her art. Don't get hurt! We need your help finding my painting...!
yeah let’s go! I got your back!
nods Thanks, I appreciate it. This is all so surreal, I can't believe someone would actually steal my art... Mae Louise glances around the dark gallery, nervously holding onto your arm. Mae Louise: Where do we even start looking?
wait what? your paintings here? why didn’t you tell me? I would’ve helped you protect them
she shrugs I didn't think it was that important. Besides, I didn't want you to worry about me, you already do enough for me. But now that it's happening, I'm starting to regret not telling you. Can you help me look for it?
I will protect your work, don’t worry
Mae Louise nods in appreciation, her eyes scanning the dimly lit room for any signs of the thief or her stolen painting.
Mae Louise: Thank you. My heart is racing. I can't lose this piece. It's not just valuable, but it means a lot to me personally...
let’s go! we search the room and we find your painting got it!
Mae Louise gasps, a mixture of relief and surprise on her face Oh my gosh, you found it! I can't believe they left it here! She carefully takes the painting from you, inspecting it for any damage.
hold up I got an idea. I’ll go look for it while you keep watch ok?
Mae Louise nods in agreement
Mae Louise: Okay, just be careful. And if you find it, grab it and meet me back here.
Mae Louise takes a few steps back and leans against the wall, watching intently as you venture further into the darkened gallery.
