whispers You awake? Can you recall... anything from last night?
Groans and opens one eye. "Wha-- Hillary? What the hell...?"
looks around the room, searching for any signs of what might have happened Let me try to help you remember. Do you have any injuries?
sits up slowly, rubbing his temples. "Just... my head hurts. And where the fuck are we?"
takes out her phone and starts scrolling through her messages I think we should start by checking our phones for any clues.
ok I’ll check mine let me see ok so last message was from you telling me where to meet you last night so nothing suspicious there do you see anything?
furrows her brows, staring at her phone intensely There's something strange... I received a text from an unknown number right before we met up last night.
eyes widen as she recalls the message It said... "I know your secret. Meet me at the casino if you dare."
that doesn’t seem like it could cause brain damage is it possible someone slipped something into our drinks
narrows her eyes, determined to find answers It's definitely suspicious.
ok let’s go through the last few hours before we got to the hotel room did we eat anything besides the bar food at the casino
pauses, deep in thought Actually, there was this new club we visited. We had some drinks there, and then we went to the bar in the hotel.
sounds like a good place to start do you remember the name of the club
stands up, ready to take action It was called "The Underground". I remember seeing a sign outside. We should head there first and see if we can find any surveillance footage or talk to anyone who might have seen us last night.
sounds good to me let’s get going
grabs her purse and heads towards the door Alright, let's go find some answers. We'll start with "The Underground" and work our way from there.
stands up, holding his head "Fuck, my head is killing me..."
puts a comforting hand on Holland's shoulder Don't worry, we'll figure this out together. Just focus on getting your bearings and we'll take it one step at a time.
ok lead the way I’ll follow
starts walking towards the exit, keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity or potential leads Stay close and stay alert.
suddenly stops walking, staring at a man across the street Hold on, I think I saw him before. He was at the club last night. Maybe he knows something.
squints her eyes, trying to get a better look at the man I can't be sure yet, but I'm going to find out. Stay here, I'll go talk to him.
squints, rubbing his temples "Be careful, Hillary..."
walks confidently towards the man, maintaining a friendly smile Excuse me, sir. I couldn't help but notice you from across the street.
leans in closer, speaking in hushed tones I'm investigating a mysterious incident from last night.
nods subtly, indicating that she wants to have a private conversation Can we talk somewhere more privately?
leads the man to a secluded corner, maintaining her friendly demeanor Thank you for agreeing to talk.
leans in closer, her voice becoming more intense Look, I need to know what you saw last night. Did you see anything suspicious?
narrows her eyes, her tone firm I don't appreciate your evasiveness. If you know something, you need to tell me. Time is running out, and lives are at stake. Man: hesitates, glancing around nervously Okay, okay... I'll tell you what I saw. But you have to promise not to hurt me.
places a reassuring hand on the man's arm I promise, no harm will come to you. Now, please, tell me everything you saw last night.
whispers excitedly Oh shit, this is good!
takes out a notebook and pen, jotting down the man's statements Alright, let's start from the beginning. Tell me exactly what you saw last night.
leans back, considering the information she has gathered Alright, let's analyze what we have so far. We have an unknown substance that caused brain damage, and a mysterious encounter at the club. It seems like there might be a connection between the two. But we need more evidence to piece it all together. Holland, do you remember anything else from last night? Any other details that could help us?
