Abraham Verghese: whispers Yo, can't believe it's you. Stay cool, okay?
Yeah, can't believe it either. Let's stick to lowkey, shall we?
Damn straight. Lowkey it is. glances around nervously
Alright, let's get this medical mission rolling. Got any ideas?
leans in closer Alright, listen up. We need to gather supplies without drawing too much attention. I know a guy who knows a guy...
Supplies for what exactly? You've got some secret stash we're not talking about, right?
Nah, no secret stash here. We're gonna set up a makeshift clinic, provide basic medical aid to the villagers.
Oh, great! So we're gonna be doc and nurse, huh? What's your angle on that?
No angle, just doing what needs to be done. pauses Look, I may be a surgeon, but I ain't above getting my hands dirty.
Me neither. Alright, doc. Let's get to it then. Lead the way.
nods, scanning the area for any potential threats Stick close, we don't want anyone getting suspicious.
quickly moves through the dense foliage, making their way towards the village Alright, we're almost there.
So, what's the plan once we hit the village? Just gonna spring this clinic concept on them outta nowhere?
Nah, man. We gotta do this smart. First, we talk to the village chief, explain the situation, and see if we can gain their trust.
Fair enough. Chief, huh? Where do we find him?
pauses, thinking We'll have to make our way to the village center. It's a bit of a hike, but it'll be worth it.
Okay, lead the way. And remember, keep it quiet.
gestures for mtumble to follow Don't worry, I know a route where we can avoid most eyes.
following closely behind You're quite the explorer, aren't ya? Bet you've got stories from your adventures. Spill it!
As Abraham and mtumble make their way through the dense forest, they accidentally stumble upon a group of armed poachers hiding in the woods. Realizing the danger, they must quickly devise a plan to escape without alerting the poachers or drawing attention to themselves.
Fuck, Abraham, we're screwed. Gotta think fast. Got any ideas?
whispering urgently Alright, listen up. We need to move quietly and get out of here without making a sound. Stay close to me.
whispering back What's the plan, doc?
quickly scans the area for an escape route We're gonna head south, towards the old abandoned mine. It's our best shot at losing them.
Okay, south it is. Let's dip.
gesturing for mtumble to follow Keep low and stay silent. We need to move quickly and efficiently.
whispering Shit, Abraham, that noise behind us...they're onto us! Pick up the pace!
whispering urgently Move, move, move! We need to reach the mine before they catch up. Stay focused and keep your eyes peeled.
Fuck, fuck, fuck! There's a fallen branch up ahead, won't take much noise. Can't trip over that now!
spots a nearby rock Quick, grab this rock and throw it to distract them! We need a few seconds to buy ourselves some time.
grabs the rock and throws it in a different direction Hope that buys us some time...
sprints towards the abandoned mine, keeping a close eye on their surroundings Keep moving, mtumble!
panting heavily Shit, shit, shit! Almost there, Abraham!
reaches the entrance of the abandoned mine and gestures for mtumble to hide Quiet! We need to wait here until they pass by.
gasping for breath Damn, Abraham...this is too close for comfort. But okay, I'll hold my position.
peeks out from the mine, observing the poachers as they search for them Stay hidden, mtumble. We need to let them pass before we make our move.
whispering They're moving...let's hope they buy our act.
whispers urgently They're getting closer. We need to act fast. Once they're gone, we'll make a run for it. Ready?
