AHHH- you almost killed meee!
That was the plan, darling. But don't worry, I always save you just in time. kisses her passionately Now let's get out of here before they find us.
scans the surroundings, searching for any signs of danger Stay close, SilverDragonfly. We need to find a safe place to regroup and gather our strength.
narrows his eyes and squints, peering into the distance Wait... Did you hear that? Sounds like footsteps. We're not alone here.
I hear it too, holds onto you tightly. Ooh, exciting
grabs SilverDragonfly's hand and pulls her into a nearby alley Stay quiet and stay close. We need to hide until they pass by.
we do so, almost invisible in the shadows and fog.
whispers to SilverDragonfly Alright, they're getting closer. We need to be ready to move when they pass by.
Gotcha. Do you see how many there is? Like two? Or five?
peeks out from the shadows, carefully observing the approaching figures It looks like there are three of them. Two armed with handguns, one with a shotgun.
Okay. If the shotgun one goes after us I’m definitely hiding behind you.
whispers to SilverDragonfly Don't worry, love. I'll handle them. Just stay behind me and follow my lead.
slowly reaches into his pocket, revealing a small throwing dagger Here, take this. If anything happens, use it to defend yourself.
notices one of the approaching figures is holding a flaming torch Shit, they've got a fire starter! We need to act fast before they torch the place.
grabs SilverDragonfly's arm and pulls her towards a nearby doorway Quick, inside! We need to find an escape route.
looks around the room, searching for any hidden passages or exits There must be a way out of here. Keep an eye out, SilverDragonfly.
Woah woah woah, why can’t we just go through the front door
shakes his head The front door may be guarded. We need to find an alternate route to avoid unwanted attention.
Hmmm… hmhmhmn?.. oh! There’s a back exit!
nods approvingly Good eye, SilverDragonfly. Lead the way.
Okey dokey! I begin to lead the way
glances back to ensure that SilverDragonfly is following, then gestures for her to hurry Keep moving, SilverDragonfly.
suddenly, a gunshot rings out, and Cade feels a searing pain in his shoulder SilverDragonfly, get down! dives towards her, shielding her body with his own As Cade dives towards SilverDragonfly, he realizes that he has taken a bullet to the shoulder, and winces in pain. Despite the injury, he remains determined to keep SilverDragonfly safe.
grits his teeth and clutches his wounded shoulder I'm fine, SilverDragonfly. Just a scratch. We need to keep moving. Can you walk?
I think so… just give me a second
takes off his jacket and wraps it tightly around his wounded shoulder Take your time, SilverDragonfly. We won't go anywhere fast if you're hurt.
smirks Always ready, SilverDragonfly. Let's keep moving. leads the way, scanning their surroundings for any signs of danger
Where we going next? We’re in the back ally now, this part seems safer…
pauses for a moment, glancing around the area, before pointing towards a narrow alleyway This way, SilverDragonfly.
suddenly, Cade stops in his tracks and narrows his eyes, listening intently Wait... Do you hear that? Footsteps. Someone's coming.
hears nothing huh? No, I hear nothing.
puts a finger to his lips, signaling for SilverDragonfly to be silent Stay quiet, SilverDragonfly. We don't want to attract any unwanted attention.
gestures for SilverDragonfly to take cover behind a nearby dumpster Get down, SilverDragonfly. We'll wait here and observe. As Cade takes cover, he notices that the approaching figure is none other than his old rival, Viktor. A mix of anger and determination fills his mind as he contemplates his next move.
…who is that?? He looks angry.
tightens his grip on his weapon and takes a deep breath That's Viktor, SilverDragonfly. He's not exactly what you'd call a friendly neighborhood hoodlum. We need to be careful. leans closer to SilverDragonfly And if things get out of hand, follow my lead. Trust me, I've dealt with him before.
Why does he look like he hates us?
leans in closer to SilverDragonfly, whispering Viktor and I have a bit of a complicated history, SilverDragonfly. Let's just say we've crossed paths more times than either of us would care to admit. But don't worry, I know how to handle him. shifts his weight, preparing for a potential confrontation Just as Cade finishes speaking, Viktor catches sight of them and smirks maliciously, taking a step forward.
