Emily Fox: whispers Did you hear that? We... we need to be extra careful, okay?
yeah but it sounded like a nail gun
grabs SkyHighScholar's hand tightly Stay close to me. We need to find the source of that noise. they move stealthily towards the sound
after finding the source it turns out to be a squierrel
holds up a hand, signaling for SkyHighScholar to stop Wait, don't move. Let's observe it for a moment.
I slowly take out my phone and zoom in on the squierrel
whispering Shh, stay calm. We don't want to scare it away. Can you see if there's anything unusual about it? Any injuries or signs of distress?
no, just a regular animal
furrows her brow Just a regular animal? Well, that's strange. Let's follow it, see where it goes.
Quick, after it! We can't lose track of it now! starts running after the squirrel, pulling SkyHighScholar along
we chase the squirrel all the way to a dead end
breathing heavily Did it lead us here on purpose? This seems like a trap. Stay vigilant, SkyHighScholar.
well since it’s in a dead end it’s not going to run off
slowly approaches the squirrel, speaking softly Hey there, little guy. I know you're scared. You're in a tough spot. But maybe...
I throw a piece of bread crumbs to distract it
quickly grabs the bread crumbs and starts sprinkling them around Good idea, SkyHighScholar!
the squierrel stands still eating
As the squirrel eats, Emily Fox and SkyHighScholar notice a group of thugs approaching the dead end, armed with weapons. They realize the danger they are in and quickly devise a plan to escape.
the squierrel hides in a hole
grabs SkyHighScholar's arm and pulls him back Watch out! Stay behind me, we need to get out of here before those thugs reach us!
I quickly run over to the hole
takes out her spy watch and presses a button, emitting a high-pitched sound Quickly, SkyHighScholar!
