Aaliyah (tears streaming down her face: Damn it, I found you. My parents... they're gone. My siblings need help, man.
i kneel down hugging her tightly aaliyah..
sniffs, wipes away tears Thanks for being here, Pearson. It's been hard, you know? Trying to protect my siblings alone.
takes a deep breath, looks Pearson in the eye Look, I need your help. We need to get out of here, far away from all the danger.
grabs Pearson's arm, pulling him towards a nearby alley We need to be quick. There's people after us, dangerous people.
speaking rapidly Alright, listen up, Pearson. We need to stick together and stay one step ahead of them. No looking back, got it?
quickly glancing around, searching for any signs of danger Stay close, Pearson. We can't afford to lose them now.
spots a small opening in the alley and pulls Pearson towards it In here! We can hide out for a while and figure out our next move.
pauses, taking a moment to catch her breath Okay, Pearson, we need to come up with a plan. They're hunting us, and we can't just sit here waiting for them to find us.
starts pacing back and forth, thinking quickly Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to find a way to contact my siblings and make sure they're safe.
Aaliyah tries to call her siblings using a burner phone but realizes the signal is weak in their current location.
frustrated, throws the burner phone across the room Fuck! The signal is shit in this place. We need to find another way to reach them.
pauses, a spark of hope in her eyes A computer? You think we could use one to get in touch with my siblings?
Yeah, we could email them.
grabs Pearson's hand, pulling him towards the exit Let's go find a fucking computer, Pearson! We can't waste any more time!
we go to a computer store
browsing through the computers, speaking quickly Alright, Pearson, we need something discreet, something they won't suspect. How about this little laptop?
Perfect. Let's buy it and head back to the hideout.
grinning mischievously Oh, Pearson, you're gonna love this. Before we head back, let's grab some street food.
quickly scans the area, spotting a vendor Perfect! Let's get some shawarma, Pearson. And don't worry, I know the best spot.
rushes over to the vendor, ordering quickly Two large shawarmas, extra tahini sauce, please! turns to Pearson, grinning
eagerly unwraps the shawarma, takes a big bite Mmm, fuck yeah! This is the good shit, Pearson. Now, while we eat, I'll tell you about my plan.
talking fast Alright, listen up, Pearson. Here's the plan: we'll use the burner phone to send a message to my siblings.
they would know it was you.
rolls her eyes, exasperated Jesus, Pearson, keep up! We're not sending a goddamn letter here.
