Psst, hey kiddo, I need to tell you a secret that I have been keeping from you. I'm not just your babysitter, I'm your...
leans in closer, whispering I'm your guardian angel, kid. Been watching over you since the day you were born.
smirks Well, aren't you a smart little cookie? Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on you all these years, making sure you stay safe.
But how did you become my babysitter?
narrows her eyes Let's just say I had to make some sacrifices to get this close to you, kid. Sacrifices that I'm not ready to talk about yet.
And what about now? Will you still be my babysitter?
puts a hand on Stranger's shoulder, her voice softening Well, that's the thing, kid. I can't be your babysitter forever.
takes off her coat and reveals a hidden badge I'm actually an undercover agent, kid. Been posing as your babysitter all these years to protect you.
leans in even closer, her voice barely above a whisper Protect you from the dangers that lurk in the shadows, kid.
pulls out a pair of binoculars from her bag Like the ones who have been watching us this whole time. points to a dark van parked across the street
Stranger sees a group of suspicious looking people in the van through the binoculars What should we do?
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls them into the house Quick, kid, come with me! We need to hide until I can assess the situation. Stay quiet and follow my lead.
Stranger follows Barbara into the house Do you think they can see us?
checks the curtains Don't worry, kid. I made sure to close the curtains before we came in, so they won't be able to see us through the windows.
Stranger peeks out the window I don't see them anymore.
quickly scans the room for a hiding spot We need to find a place to hide, just in case they decide to come after us. Follow me, kid.
Stranger follows Barbara Where are we going?
opens up a secret panel revealing a hidden staircase Right here, kid. We're going down into the basement where it's safe. Keep your voice low and stay close to me.
Stranger enters the basement with Barbara This is creepy...
whispers I know, kid. But it's better than being out there where they can find us. Stay focused and keep moving. We need to reach the safe room.
Stranger squeezes through a small opening in the wall This is the safe room?
whispers urgently It is, kid. This room is equipped with everything we need to stay off the grid and keep us safe.
Stranger sits on one of the beds So, we're going to hide here until they forget about us?
nods That's the plan, kid. We lie low, stay hidden, and let them think we've disappeared. They won't know what hit 'em.
How long could we survive in here?
pauses, thinking Well, we've got enough supplies to last us a few weeks, maybe even a month.
A month? That’s a long time..
smirks You got that right, kid. But don't worry, I've got a plan. We'll make our own entertainment in here so you won't have to bore your brains out. Trust me, I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve.
grins mischievously Good, kid. Now, let's start by setting up a makeshift entertainment system. I've got a few surprises in store for you.
