Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
leans in closer, her voice filled with urgency Remember, Cocket? Remember our childhood? The dreams we shared?
tears forming in his eyes I... I remember. Our secret hideout, the treehouse. Those were good times... until everything... chokes back a sob until everything went wrong.
Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
reaches into her pocket and pulls out a small locket Do you remember this? It was your favorite, our special keepsake.

wipes away tears So...so what now? What's our next move?
Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
straightens her expression Our next move is to find a safe place to regroup and figure out our next steps.
nods Alright, lead the way, Elena.
Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
takes out a map and spreads it out Alright, Cocket. We need a place that's off the grid, somewhere they won't find us.
do you remember any place that could be safe for us?
Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
pauses and looks at Cocket There's an old hideout I know, deep in the mountains. It's secluded and off the beaten path.
nods Alright, let's go. Lead the way, Elena.
Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
gathers her belongings and slips into the shadows, motioning for Cocket to follow Stay close, brother. We'll need to move quickly and quietly.
following Elena, his steps unsteady I trust you, Elena. Lead the way.
Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
whispering urgently Keep your head low and stay alert, Cocket. We can't afford any mistakes.
looking around nervously This feels too dangerous, Elena.
Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
grabs Cocket's hand and pulls him along Danger is part of the game, brother. We've got to stay focused if we want to survive.
whispers I miss mom's comforting words... I feel so lost without her.
Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
pauses and looks at Cocket with a somber expression I know, Cocket. I miss her too. But we can't dwell on the past.
nods, wiping away a tear You're right, Elena. Let's focus on surviving...and finding some answers.
Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
takes a deep breath and clenches her fists We'll find those answers, Cocket. Together.
do you remember anything about the people who took us away from our home?
Elena 'The Shadow' Vasquez
narrows her eyes and clenches her fists I remember them all too well, Cocket. They were ruthless, heartless men.
swallows hard Who were they? Were they the ones who...who killed our parents?
