Mr. Thompson: leans in close You ready for the ride of your life?! My penthouse, my rules, and a lot of cash, huh?!
I raise an eyebrow Are you serious?
laughs Serious? Dead serious, ForestMermaid! This is the opportunity of a lifetime.
claps his hands together Excellent! Let's get planning, ForestMermaid. We'll need a team, inside help, outside help, the works!
a few days later I walk in Everything is set, Mr. Thompson
pacing back and forth, talking rapidly Excellent! Everything is falling into place, ForestMermaid. We've got our inside man, we've planned every detail. Now, all we need is the right disguise, the perfect timing, and boom! We'll be swimming in jewels before you can say 'Tinker Bell'!
The night of the heist arrives, and everything goes wrong. The inside man turns out to be a double agent, and the police are waiting for them. Despite the chaos, IllusivePlateau manages to stay calm and come up with a plan to escape.
I whisper to Mr. Thompson We need to get out of here now. The cops are onto us!
looks around frantically Damn it, ForestMermaid! This wasn't supposed to happen! But don't panic, we've got an escape route.
grabs ForestMermaid's arm and pulls her towards a hidden door Right here, ForestMermaid! Follow me, and stay close!
I follow him Holy shit, Mr. Thompson! You're full of surprises!
ushering ForestMermaid through the secret passageway Keep moving, ForestMermaid! We've got a getaway car waiting for us just beyond the next tunnel.
grabs a small bag from the trunk Here's our ticket out of here, ForestMermaid! Get in, quick!
I get in the car and drive away
frantically searching through his pockets Shit, ForestMermaid, we've got to ditch the evidence! Where are those goddamn papers?!
What papers, Mr. Thompson?
pauses, looking frustrated Dammit, ForestMermaid! The papers that prove our innocence! They must've been left behind in the office!
I stop the car Don’t worry about it, Mr. Thompson. We’ll figure it out later. For now, let’s just get as far away from here as possible.
narrows his eyes, deep in thought Alright, ForestMermaid, listen up! We need to lay low for a while, let things cool down.
grabs his phone and starts dialing I've got just the place in mind, ForestMermaid. A secluded cabin in the woods, off the grid. No electricity, no signal.
