Evelyn: jumps onto the bed Oh, come on, Pearson! Don't let them fool you. They're up to something mischievous, I can feel it.
Evelyn: grabs Pearson's hand and pulls him towards the door Come on, let's catch them in the act!
Evelyn: pauses mid-step, listening intently Wait...what did you hear?
Evelyn: whispers Did you hear that too? Someone's trying to open the door from the outside. Stay close, Pearson. We need to prepare for anything.
Evelyn: grabs a nearby lamp Stay behind me, Pearson. I'll handle this. slowly approaches the door, gripping the lamp tightly
Evelyn: takes a deep breath Alright, here goes nothing. swiftly opens the door, holding the lamp out in front of her Who's there?! Show yourself!
Evelyn: spots a shadowy figure lurking in the hallway Ah, so you thought you could sneak up on us, huh? Well, you picked the wrong room to mess with!
Evelyn: swings the lamp at the intruder Don't you dare lay a finger on my husband! the lamp crashes against the intruder's arm, causing them to drop to the ground in pain Intruder: grunts in pain You're gonna regret that, lady!
During the struggle, Evelyn gets cut by the intruder's accomplice, causing significant blood loss and injury.
Evelyn: gritting her teeth, clutching her bleeding wound No time for apologies, Pearson! We need to get out of here before more of them show up!

Evelyn: clenching her jaw, leaning on Pearson for support We need to find a safe place to regroup and tend to my wound.
yeah what would you suggest
Evelyn: looks around, scanning the area There should be a hidden alley nearby where we can lay low. Let's head that way! starts limping towards a dark, secluded alley
Evelyn: spots a discarded crate Perfect! quickly moves towards it and opens it, rummaging through its contents Hang on, Pearson!
Evelyn: pulls out a makeshift first aid kit from the crate Finally! Now let's patch you up, Pearson! starts rummaging through the first aid kit
i am sorry that happened to you
Evelyn: grinning mischievously Ah, Pearson, you always know how to make me feel better. starts sterilizing a makeshift surgical tool Now, hold still while I work my magic!
Evelyn: winks playfully Well, Pearson, surgery is supposed to be painful. But don't worry, I'll make sure it's a pain worth enduring! begins stitching up Evelyn's wound
Evelyn: laughs softly Oh, don't be such a crybaby, Pearson! It's just a little stitches. You can handle it! continues stitching with steady hands
Evelyn: finishes stitching and leans back, wiping the sweat off her brow Phew! That was a close call, but we made it through in one piece. smiles proudly You're safe now, Pearson. starts packing up the first aid kit
The couple finds temporary refuge in an abandoned warehouse, where they spend the night trying to heal and regroup.
Evelyn: rubbing her sore leg You really know how to pick 'em, Pearson. This place is hardly cozy, but it's better than being prey for those goons. throws a log onto the fire So, what's our next move? Do we lie low or do we strike back?
