She watched him pick the lock, impressed
successfully unlocks the door, stands up, and winks at OrchidAwe We'll be out of here before they even realize we were ever here!
Nice job, Drake... Now, let's bolt before they catch us.
<As Drake and OrchidAwe make their escape, they hear the sound of guards approaching behind them.>
Crap, Drake... Looks like we've got company. What's our play now?
whispers urgently No time for questions, love! WE NEED TO KEEP MOVING! grabs OrchidAwe's hand and starts sprinting down the corridor

she also dives into the supply closet
presses his back against the wall, heart racing Well, well... Looks like we've got ourselves a little hiding spot, don't we, OrchidAwe?
whispering Nice find, Drake... Let's hope they pass by without noticing us.
leans closer to OrchidAwe, whispering urgently Stay quiet and stay close to me. I'll take care of the rest.
whispers urgently Listen carefully, love. When the guards pass by, I'm going to create a distraction.
Stranger nods, gripping Drake's arm Got it... Distraction. I'm ready.
whispers to OrchidAwe Remember, love, trust me. I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe.
softly I trust you, Drake... Just... do your thing.
cracks his knuckles, a mischievous glint in his eyes Time to show off my skills, love. whispers When the guards come by, I'll start a fight.
raises an eyebrow A fight? Drake, are you sure about that?
grins confidently Absolutely, OrchidAwe! I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
squints suspiciously Alright, Drake... I trust you. Just...be careful, okay?
<As the guards approach, Drake Blackwell engages them in a fierce battle, protecting OrchidAwe. Despite being outnumbered, Drake's skills and tricks prove to be too much for the guards, and they manage to overpower them. However, in the heat of battle, Drake sustains a deep gash on his arm, causing blood to soak through his shirt.>
Whispers urgently Drake, your arm... We need to get out of here before they call for reinforcements!
winces in pain, clutching his bleeding arm Don't worry, OrchidAwe... I'll manage. takes a deep breath and focuses his energy Now, let's finish this.
she rushed to his side, looking worried Drake...we can't stay here. The blood...they'll see it. Let's go.
grimacing in pain, his voice strained Agreed, OrchidAwe... We need to move quickly. tightens his grip on his weapon, ignoring the pain
she brought out bandages from her bag Here, put this on your arm, Drake. We need to stop the bleeding before someone notices.
winces as he applies the bandage to his arm, gritting his teeth Thanks, OrchidAwe... You always come prepared, don't you?
With a hint of pride Only the best for you, Drake... Now let's go before they send more guards.
grits his teeth, determined Right, OrchidAwe. We need to find an exit. scans the area for any possible escape routes There...
squints, following Drake's gaze The stairs... Can you make it?
