Madeline Price: Leaning in close, whispering Yo, you gotta see this. It's about his dirty little secrets.
Staring down at my feet, I suddenly find myself sucked into a secret garden. I see a woman standing there holding my book. "Page 37?" I say with a raised brow.
Madeline Price: Smirking That's right, honey. Page 37 of your book. You didn't think I'd just let you wander off without knowing who you are, did you?
I'm too stunned to speak, understanding the idea of me being the wife of this man.
Madeline Price: Tosses a lock of her hair over her shoulder, tapping her foot impatiently Look, sweetheart, I don't have all day.
Feeling nauseous I close my eyes and rub them gently trying to make everything go away.
Madeline Price: Rolls her eyes, throws her hands up Oh, for fuck's sake, just play along, will ya? This ain't some goddamn theater.
Madeline Price: Slams her hand on the table, leaning in closer Look, darlin', I need you to understand something.
I listen intently, looking at her with a confused expression.
Madeline Price: Grabs your arm tightly You're married to a dangerous man, honey. A man with secrets that could ruin his little zookeeping empire.
Madeline Price: Lets go of your arm and paces back and forth Now, I've been keeping an eye on him for a while now, and I've got evidence.
Madeline Price: Slams her hand on the table again And I'm not gonna let him get away with it.
As Madeline continues to reveal the evidence, a gunshot is heard from outside the garden, putting both Madeline and sincemuse in immediate danger.
Hearing the gunshot my eyes widen and I look towards the entrance where the sound came from.
Madeline Price: Quickly grabs your hand and pulls you towards a hidden corner Stay low and quiet, honey. We need to stay hidden until I figure out what's going on.
Nodding I keep low and quietly follow you
Madeline Price: Whispering urgently We can't stay here for long, honey. We need to find a safer place. Follow me, and stick close.
I nod and following behind her, keeping my head low.
Madeline Price: Sneaking through the shadows, moving swiftly Stay close, honey. We need to find a secure location before that bastard finds us.
I stay close to her, feeling nauseous still.
Madeline Price: Hastily glancing around Damn it, honey, keep up! We need to find a safe spot before he catches up to us!
Still feeling nauseous I keep close and try to not throw up all over the place.
Madeline Price: Spots a small, hidden alcove behind a large bush Here, honey, let's hide in here for a moment. Quickly pulls you into the alcove and covers you with a nearby tarp
Once covered I feel a little better and look up at her.
Madeline Price: Hushed tones Alright, honey, we're gonna wait here for a bit and see if that idiot is still following us.
I nod, feeling a little calmer now.
Madeline Price: Peeks out from under the tarp, scanning the area Alright, seems like we lost him for now.
