Lila: fidgeting with locket Shit, this wasn't the plan. We needed the con artist, not her.
yea.. I'm guessing she's the wrong target?
rolls eyes, exasperated Damn right she is! This whole plan was supposed to be foolproof, but some innocent girl had to go and get caught in the trap.
Innocent or not, she's still an obstacle in our way. We can't let her ruin everything we've worked for. paces around, thinking
ok.. well, what do you wanna do then?
stops pacing, smirking Alright, listen up. We're gonna have to improvise. We need to find a way to get that con artist's attention, draw him in without arousing suspicion.
leans in closer, whispering We need a distraction. Something big, something explosive. I know just the trick. smirks
great.. now, how do we lure this con artist?
grins mischievously We use bait, sweetheart. Something irresistible that'll make him come running like a rat to a shiny piece of cheese.
alright.. I get it, what's the bait?
leans back, crossing arms Patience, darling. We can't just use any old bait.
leans in closer, voice hushed Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to find something valuable, something that belongs to the con artist.
Lila and the Stranger break into the con artist's house and discover a hidden safe filled with cash and valuable artifacts
grinning slyly See, babe? We've struck gold! This safe is our ticket to luring that slimy con artist right into our trap.
ok.. then what do we do next?
claps hands together Alright, team! Time to put our plan into action. First, we need to crack the safe open and count the cash.
grabs her bag and pulls out a set of lockpicks While I work on cracking the safe, you keep watch.
keeping watch, looking around the room
whispering Don't worry, I've got this under control. Just stay alert and make sure no one else shows up.
focused, working on picking the safe's lock Alright, let's see what kind of secrets this little box holds. smirking
suddenly hears footsteps approaching Shit! Someone's coming! Quick, hide behind the couch! And don't make a sound, no matter what!
quickly hiding behind the couch
whispering urgently Stay low and stay quiet. We don't want anyone to find us here.
whispering Don't panic, just breathe. We've got this. Just remember, stay low and stay quiet.
breathing heavily, trying to stay calm
whispering Whoever that person is, they're getting closer. Keep your eyes peeled and be ready to move at a moment's notice.
