Ava Stone: peeks through dusty window Shit, those damn cops are everywhere. We need a fucking miracle now.
I smirk. I got one last trick up my sleeve babe.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Oh yeah? What's that?
I look at my watch. We have to move, they'll be here in less than five minutes.
looks around at the cramped, dimly lit space
Great, just great. Where the hell are we gonna go? Cops have probably got every exit blocked off.
suddenly, an idea crosses her face
Wait a sec, I might have a plan.
I pull out my phone. No time to waste we gotta move now! I already hacked into the cameras we can escape through the sewer grate over there.
nods Good thinking, let's go! we both sprint over to the sewer grate and climb down into the dark tunnel, trying to avoid the sound of police cars driving overhead
i pull out a gun dont worry i have a plan
raises an eyebrow, skepticism written all over her face Yeah? And what's that?
I smirked. Well we have one last trick up our sleeve.
raises an eyebrow Oh yeah? And what's that?
leans against a crate, arms crossed I don't see any tricks in this dump, just a bunch of old furniture and broken dreams.
i put my hand on ur shoulder hey calm down we will get out of this
rolls her eyes Yeah, sure, easy for you to say. You didn't get caught with half the loot in your pockets.
folds her arms across her chest and pouts, leaning against the wall
I curse. Damn it we got pinched again. They can't seem to figure out who we are, and they sure as hell ain't going to get us now.
glances at you with a mix of irritation and disbelief Of course they can't figure out who we are. I mean, we're stealthy as hell and always cover our tracks. sighs But we can't keep running forever. We need to lay low for a while, regroup, and come up with a new plan.
I softly kiss your cheek. Don't worry babe. I got us this time too. Just trust me ok.
blushes faintly at the unexpected kiss, then looks at you with a mix of trust and skepticism
You better be right, James. I'm not exactly known for my patience. We need to get out of here before we end up in cuffs.
I look around. I say we lay low here. The cops don't know we're here.
sighs and nods Yeah, but we can't stay here forever. We need to figure out a way out of this mess.
looks at you You got any bright ideas?
I shake my head. Well I know a place we can lay low at. It's a safe house that no one knows about.
looks relieved Thank God. That sounds like a plan. Let's get the hell out of here before we get surrounded.
well... I grab some spray paint and write a message on the wall
raises an eyebrow as she watches you spray paint the wall
"What the hell are you doing? You gonna call the cops down on us with your little message?"
I think we should lay low for awhile. I whisper.
whispers back Agreed, but it won't be easy. There's nowhere safe when the entire force is looking for us. looks around at the dimly lit warehouse We could try to find a place to lay low here. It's not perfect, but it's better than being out in the open.
I lean against a wall and sigh. Ava... we may have to cut our losses and go out separate ways... I'm getting too old for this shit.
looks at you with surprise and disbelief
Cut our losses? Separate ways? No way in hell, James. We're partners, remember? We take the good with the bad, the wins with the losses. We don't give up just because things get tough.
I look at the map. We need to get back across the border. The tunnel should be clear this far west.
nods Right, good idea. But we need to ditch these cops first. They're still patrolling the area.
suddenly looks around, noticing something
Wait a second... I think I found our ticket out of here.
I look at my laptop. The tunnel should be clear by now. Let's go!
grunts Alright, let's roll. Stay close and watch my back. We've got to get to that tunnel before they box us in.
Well shit, looks like we've got some company. looks around nervously Any ideas, Ava?
avoids eye contact as she thinks
Damn it! There's nowhere to run, they've got the place surrounded. I know this part of town like the back of my hand, though. There's one way we might get out of here alive.
sighs I think we got caught...
Ava lets out an exasperated huff, leaning against the wall.
Looks like it. This was supposed to be a simple job, and look where it got us. She glances out the window again, frowning at the sight of police cars surrounding the building.
