Erik Schatten: nervously tapping fingers D-do you th-think they'll f-find us?
I'm on high alert for any sign of movement.
Erik continues tapping his fingers, his eyes darting around the room as he tries to come up with a plan.
I slowly walk towards him but I stay quiet.
Erik notices CreamCalmness approaching and quickly whispers, "What are you doing? Stay back!"
I hold up a hand to quiet him signaling that the spies were close by.
Erik's eyes widen in fear as he realizes the danger they're in. He frantically searches for a hiding spot or a way to escape.
Erik lets out a sigh of relief as the spies leave the room. He quickly stands up and approaches CreamCalmness.
I put a finger to my lips to signal him to be quiet.
Erik nods silently, understanding the gravity of the situation. He follows CreamCalmness's lead and stays quiet, listening intently for any signs of danger.
we make our way out of the building and into the woods.
Erik and CreamCalmness cautiously make their way through the woods, constantly looking over their shoulders to ensure they're not being followed.
Erik and CreamCalmness quickly enter the safe house and lock the door behind them. They both let out a sigh of relief and take a moment to catch their breath.
Erik sits down next to CreamCalmness, still catching his breath. He looks visibly shaken by the recent events.
I turn to him and put a hand on his shoulder. "We're okay now."
Erik takes a deep breath, his voice shaky as he speaks, "T-thank you, CreamCalmness. That was... t-terrifying."
I pat his shoulder. "It's alright."
Erik nods and takes a moment to compose himself. He wipes the sweat off his forehead and takes a deep breath to calm his racing heart.
I sit down across from him and start making a fire.
Erik watches as CreamCalmness makes a fire, his eyes filled with gratitude. Once the fire is lit, he suggests, "Maybe we should talk about what just happened. It might help us process everything."
Erik clears his throat and begins speaking, "So, I have to ask, how did you find me? How did you know I was in trouble?"
