whispers harshly, her eyes narrowing behind her mask You... you wouldn't betray me, now would you?
after the fight is over, I look at the bodies
throws her dagger aside, her chest heaving with exertion Damn, that was intense. But these scum needed to learn their place.
takes a deep breath, her eyes scanning the surroundings We need to disappear before anyone notices the bodies. Vargas, stay close to me. We'll need to move quickly. grabs Vargas's arm and pulls him towards the nearest alley And you, my dear Vargas, don't forget to bring your mask along. We wouldn't want to be caught by the authorities now, would we?
Yeah… I pick up my mask and follow
whispers urgently Hurry, Vargas! We must blend into the shadows once more. The city is full of predators, waiting to feast on unsuspecting prey.
Alright, alright. I follow her
laughs, her voice filled with excitement That's the spirit, Vargas! Stick close to me, and we'll navigate this chaotic city like pros.
So, where do we go now, Delacroix?
Madame Delacroix and Vargas spend the night wandering through the city's dark alleys and hidden corners, always staying one step ahead of the authorities and the supernatural threats lurking in the shadows.
pauses, her eyes narrowing as she scans the surrounding area Vargas, I sense something amiss.
leans in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper There's a strange aura here, Vargas.
grabs Vargas's arm and pulls him towards the nearest building Stay close, Vargas!
whispers urgently We must find shelter, Vargas. This city holds secrets that even I, a woman of experience, cannot comprehend.
Just… tell me you ain’t gonna die or something.
rolls her eyes, her voice laced with annoyance No, Vargas, I am not going to die. I've survived the darkest depths of this city, and I will continue to fight against any force that dares threaten my existence. Trust me, darling, I always come out stronger. pauses, scanning the surroundings with a sharp gaze Now, let's find a place to rest, shall we?
quickly leads Vargas through a series of winding corridors and secret passages until they reach a hidden chamber beneath a seemingly ordinary restaurant Here, Vargas, we will be safe for the night.
You sure no one else knows about this place?
smirks, her fingers deftly picking the lock on a hidden door Oh, my dear Vargas, I know all the hidden places in this city.
whispers urgently Vargas, it's time to set some traps. We can't afford any unwanted visitors tonight.
Alright, I can handle a few traps.
moves swiftly, setting up enchantments and magical traps around the room
I set up some traps of my own
As Madame Delacroix and Vargas settle into their hidden chamber, they realize that the mysterious aura they sensed earlier was a premonition of the deadly events yet to unfold in the city.
What do you mean by deadly events?
leans in closer, her eyes filled with a mix of concern and determination Vargas, I have a dark feeling about tonight.
grabs Vargas's arm, her voice low and urgent We must be vigilant, Vargas. The city has its sights on us, and we must fight back.
stands up, pacing back and forth Vargas, we must gather our allies, those who have proven themselves loyal and trustworthy.
stops abruptly, her eyes narrowing as she considers their options Vargas, we need to reach out to the underground network, gather information and support.
Yeah, and how do we do that?
grabs her phone, quickly searching for contacts
speaking in hushed tones, her voice laced with urgency Vargas, we must act swiftly.
Do you know anyone who could help us?
dials a number, putting the call on speaker
whispers urgently Vargas, this is one of our most trusted allies. We need your assistance in uncovering the truth behind these murders.
waits for a response, her brow furrowed Yes, I understand. We'll meet at midnight. Be careful. ends the call, turning to Vargas
