NANCY DREW: steps forward, flashlight in hand Think you can hide here forever? Spill the beans!
he sits in the corner of the room, shaking in fear
snarls Don't try to play dumb with me, CatDown. I know you're hiding something. Start talking before I make you regret it.
I don’t know anything ok, why would I be hiding something?
narrows her eyes, taking a step closer Oh, trust me, CatDown. You're hiding something. And I'm going to find out what it is.
I’m being serious here, if you just let me go I can prove that I’m innocent
raises an eyebrow Innocent, huh? You think you can just walk away from this mess? I've seen your records, CatDown. You've got quite the rap sheet. So, tell me, what are you hiding? Who did you cross this time?
Not this again. he then remembers something wait…
leans in closer, her voice low and dangerous This better be good, CatDown. I don't have time for your games. Spit it out.
You remember the night we broke up, i was so drunk that I didn’t realize what I was doing…
rolls her eyes Cut the crap, CatDown. I've heard that excuse one too many times. If you think you can weasel your way out of this, you're wrong.
Do you remember me saying something about a girl?
leans back, arms crossed A girl, huh? Well, CatDown, you better start explaining. And make it quick.
I had a secret relationship with this girl, and the night we broke up was the night she told me she was pregnant.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued A secret relationship, huh? And this girl, who is she?
pauses, considering Sophia... I remember her. She was that quiet girl from our department. So, let me get this straight, CatDown.
paces back and forth, deep in thought Alright, CatDown. If this is true, we need to figure out what to do next.
Do you remember anything else that happened that night?
taps her chin thoughtfully Now that you mention it, there was something odd about that night. I remember seeing Sophia with a strange man.
I was trying to hold back from asking questions because of our past. Do you remember what he looked like?
leans in closer, her eyes sharp Odd, yeah. He had this... unsettling presence. Like something was off about him.
squints, trying to recall No, not really. It was dark and he was wearing a hoodie or something. But there was something about him...
What do you mean by that?
leans in even closer, her voice barely above a whisper He had this smirk, CatDown. A smirk that sent chills down my spine.
