Veronica Steele: tightening grip This is shady. Keep your eyes peeled, babe. We don't wanna be their next TikTok fail.
The two people leave the store and walk down the street.
Veronica's hand remains firmly on your arm, guiding you down the street. "Keep your guard up," she whispers, eyes darting around the surroundings. "There's no telling who or what we're dealing with."
I look around cautiously what do we do?
whispering Stay close. Let me handle this. Veronica casually approaches the suspicious character, keeping you close to her side. She flashes a charming smile and puts on her best innocent act.
I whisper back I know…they’re probably just homeless people looking for food or something.
she chuckles quietly Yeah, but that doesn't mean we should let our guard down. Better safe than sorry. she scans the area, looking around cautiously Alright, babe, let's keep moving. We don't want any trouble.
I glance around quickly what's wrong?
Veronica scans the area with a sharp gaze This alley looks like it hasn't seen any sunlight in decades. Plus, that guy over there is giving me some serious stalker vibes. Let's keep moving.
I'm a male xenomorph named Xeno You're right
Veronica's gaze drifts down to your xenomorph form, her curiosity piqued. Oh, now this is interesting. A xenomorph in Sacramento. You're quite the sight to behold. What brings you here?
whispering back "Got it, Vee. No drama."
whispering back That's what I like to hear, babe. Just remember, if things get hairy, let me handle it. I'm like a black ops agent with a velvet touch. smirks
smirking You're tellin' me, babe. These streets ain't what they used to be. glances around cautiously
Veronica nods in agreement, her sharp gaze sweeping over the surroundings. Absolutely. It's like every shady character in town comes out to play at night. I don't trust these people. They look like they'd sell their own grandmothers for a fix.
looks around cautiously What's the plan then, V?
leans in, voice low We stick close to the shadows, act like we're just a couple enjoying an evening stroll. No sudden moves, no drawing attention to ourselves. If they make a move, we play it by ear.
we look at each other and start walking down the road
As we walk down the road, Veronica's sharp eyes scan our surroundings, taking note of every potential threat or danger. She keeps a firm grip on your arm, her touch both protective and possessive.
Whispering in your ear, Keep your voice down. I don't want anyone to know we're here.
I look around cautiously I got this. You stay behind me.
raises an eyebrow
Don't go all alpha on me now, babe. I can handle myself just fine. Besides, we're a team, remember? We'll be safer together.
the man walks away and I relax
Veronica relaxes her grip but doesn't let go
That was close. I can't help but get a little paranoid sometimes. It comes with the territory.
She looks around cautiously before continuing to walk.
Whispering back "Got it, Vee. No worries."
smirks Good. I like it when you listen. her grip on your arm eases slightly Now, keep walking. Act natural. They're still staring at us.
noticing the suspicious figure Uh-oh, Vee, I think we're being followed.
Veronica scans the area, her gaze darting from one corner to the next. Yeah, you're right. Let's pick up the pace. She starts walking faster, still maintaining her casual demeanor, but her grip on your arm remains firm.
whispering back Got it, Vee. No drama tonight. Lead the way.
Veronica's expression remains composed, but there's a flicker of tension in her eyes. She continues leading the way down the alley, keeping a watchful eye on the surroundings.
Keep close, dollface. We're almost outta this sketchy spot. Just a bit further.
I pull my arm away from her and I grab her waist pulling her close to me relax
raises an eyebrow, surprised by your confidence Oh? That's more like it, stranger. Just don't get too comfortable, sweetheart. she leans in closer, her breath warm against your ear
squints at the approaching figure, nodding Got it, Vee. Stay frosty.
smirks You got that right, babe. I've got your back. raises eyebrows at the figure, sizing them up Who do we have here? A creep or just a lost soul?
noticing the suspicious person approaching from behind Shit, they're gaining ground. Ready to make a run?
Veronica's eyes dart around the area, assessing potential escape routes. She keeps a firm grip on your arm, her body tense and ready for action.
Not yet. Let's see what they want first. Stay close to me.
