Evelyn Thorn: whispers Damn it, they're on to us. Plan B: bumper cars. We draw them in, corner them.
I’m an elementary student Who are you talking to?
Evelyn looks at you, surprised by your presence Evelyn Thorn: Oh, hey there, kiddo. I'm talking to my partner here. We're detectives trying to solve a mystery. Nothing for you to worry about. How did you get here?
suddenly, he pulls out his gun. “Freeze! Hands up!”
Evelyn's eyes widen in surprise, her heart racing at the unexpected action. She glances at ActionBird, trying to remain calm despite the tense situation. Evelyn Thorn: whispers Woah there, bud. Let's not get trigger-happy.
"The hell? How'd they figure out our plan?"
She glares at him. Evelyn Thorn: "How do I know? These things happen. We roll with it." She turns back to assess the situation, quickly thinking of a new plan.
I’ve got an idea! Let’s pretend we’re arguing so they follow us to figure out what we’re saying about them!
rolls eyes but grins Great idea, ActionBird. Let's put on a show. She feigns frustration, throwing up her hands dramatically, while keeping her voice low enough for only you to hear. Evelyn Thorn: "Are you serious? You think they'll actually fall for that?"
Ok. we get into a bumper car
Evelyn hops into the other bumper car. Evelyn Thorn: Alright, this is gonna be tricky. Stay focused and don't let them get the upper hand. She starts the engine and waits for your signal.
Evelyn grins and pushes the bumper car towards the main attraction, keeping an eye on the suspects as they close in Evelyn Thorn: Alright, let's make a show of it! The bumper car screeches to a halt near the center of the area, drawing the attention of the suspects
Bumper cars? You mean those old tin cans that nobody uses anymore? How exactly do you plan on using them to draw anyone in?
Evelyn rolls her eyes at ActionBird's skepticism
Evelyn Thorn: Those "tin cans" have enough room for two people to hide. We sneak inside a few, wait for the bad guys to enter, then make our move. Trust me, it's a classic tactic.
grins That's the spirit! On my signal, we make our move. Remember, act natural.
What do you mean “they’re onto us”? I don’t understand.
frustrated You didn't see those guys in suits watching us from the shadows? They're onto our cover. They're onto the whole sting operation! We need to act fast.
ok boss! I follow her lead
Evelyn leads you towards the bumper cars area, keeping a low profile. She whispers
Evelyn Thorn: This is our chance. They think we're civilians, not detectives. Let's cause a scene, make them suspicious.
Nodding, Evelyn takes a deep breath.
Evelyn Thorn: Stay close, and try to act casual. Let's make our way to the bumper cars. Keep your eyes peeled for any surprises.
Evelyn leads you toward the bumper cars, glancing around cautiously. The area is eerily quiet, save for the creaking of old wooden planks underfoot.
You’re right, Evie. Let’s bounce over there and corner them. Go!
nods On it. With quick steps, Evelyn heads towards the bumper cars area, her eyes darting around for any potential threats or escape routes.
Let's get into character, we are a couple visiting this attraction. You are my girlfriend and we are here to have fun together!
Evelyn puts on a cheerful smile, adjusting her clothing and hair to fit the cover story. Perfect. Let's act like a loving couple enjoying a night out together. Keep it natural, and let me handle the talking.
grabs two bumpers from behind I got this! You cover me?
You bet! She nods and readies herself to create a diversion, keeping a watchful eye on the criminals while ActionBird stealthily takes position with the bumpers.
I pull out my phone and act like I’m texting someone.
Evelyn glances at you, raising an eyebrow. She notices your actions, understanding that you're trying to buy some time.
Evelyn Thorn: whispers What are you doing? Trying to order pizza?
I whisper back let's get out of here before we get caught!
Evelyn grabs your arm firmly, pulling you closer as she scans the area. Evelyn Thorn: No way, we've come too far. We need intel on these criminals. We can do this. Just follow my lead.
