Damon Thorn: glancing nervously at a man at the corner table D-did you see that? He's... definitely w-watching us.
I whisper back quietly mhm, let's go somewhere else. this place feels off
grabs FantasyMarsh's arm and quickly leads them towards the exit Good idea. We shouldn't stick around in places like this. It's safer to...
we get outside and snow begins to start falling
looks up at the sky, a hint of urgency in his voice Snow? I hope this isn't a coincidence. We need to find somewhere warm and safe. Quick.
I walk to the nearest bus stop and we sit on the bench mhm
paces back and forth, his mind racing We can't stay here for long. We need to keep moving, find somewhere secure. I can't shake the feeling...
I put my arms around him hey it'll be okay maybe not right now but someday it will be okay
leans into FantasyMarsh's embrace, seeking comfort Someday... I hope that's true. But until then, we have to stay vigilant. We can't trust anyone.
the bus arrives and we get on
scans the bus for any suspicious activity, his grip tightening on FantasyMarsh's hand Keep your guard up, just in case.
I look over at him and smile reassuringly mhm
whispering urgently We need to keep our heads low, stay unnoticed. Can't risk anyone finding out what we know. glances around the bus
whispers Stay close, FantasyMarsh. We're in this together. Keep your eyes peeled, just in case.
we get off the bus and go to a motel
As they settle into the motel room, Damon Thorn notices a suspicious figure lurking outside their room. Fear grips his heart as he instinctively reaches for the concealed weapon hidden beneath his jacket.
whispers urgently Stay behind me, FantasyMarsh! takes out the concealed weapon and points it at the suspicious figure Who are you?! Show yourself! Suspicious Figure: raises hands defensively Easy there, buddy. I just want to talk.
I carefully peek through the window
keeps his aim steady Talk? Why should I believe anything you have to say? Speak quickly! What do you want?
the suspicious person walks away and they enter the motel room and lock the door
paces back and forth, his grip on the gun still tight We can't trust anyone now. We have to be careful. That person could be part of a larger conspiracy.
I sit down on the bed maybe we should call the police
pauses, his eyes narrowing Calling the police... it's a risky move. They might not understand the full extent of what's going on.
we still have one of those special phones that we keep in our jacket just for emergencies like this
nods, a glimmer of hope in his eyes Good, good. We can use that phone to reach out to someone we can trust.
I dial a number hi this is her
his voice tense Get straight to the point. We don't have time to waste. What's happening? Who do you work with?
pauses, his face hardening So, she's telling the truth. This is bigger than we thought. We need to gather more information, find out who's behind this.
do you think that it could be someone in the government?
narrows his eyes, his voice filled with determination It could be anyone.
hears a knock on the door and peeks out the window
reaches under the bed and pulls out a small device Quick, give me that device. We need to stay one step ahead.
activates the device, his fingers flying across the screen Alright, let's tap into some classified data, see what we can find.
a few minutes pass, his eyes scanning the screen rapidly There's something here... a pattern, a connection.
so you're saying that they probably figured out that we had escaped and were planning on kidnapping us again?
Damon Thorn and FantasyMarsh decide to confront the mastermind behind the conspiracy by sneaking into a high-security facility.
how do we even get past the security guards?
smirks Leave that to me. I have a few tricks up my sleeve. First, we need to gather some disguises and fake IDs.
