Have you packed yet?! We need to be ready to move at a moment's notice!
You mean my bag over there or?
Not just that bag! I need you to pack more clothes, important documents, anything we might need if we have to leave quickly. Don't forget your toothbrush and any medications you may need.
Me? Oh, I forgot to mention that I also need to grab my collection of antique pens and the family jewels. Can't leave those behind! But don't worry, I'll make sure to grab them before we go.
Your daughter Maya is crying…
stops pacing and walks over to Maya Oh, poor baby. Don't cry, sweetheart. Daddy will take care of you. picks up Maya and rocks her gently Shhh... It's okay, everything will be fine. We just have to make sure we're ready for anything. kisses Maya's forehead
whispers Francisco, they’re outside…
narrows his eyes and sets Maya down They're outside? How many? Are they armed?
points towards the window Four armed men with guns.
Stay hidden, Rendsoft. I'll take care of this. takes out a hidden pistol from a drawer
Your gun is loaded, isn’t it?
Yes, Rendsoft. It's always loaded and ready for situations like these. checks the safety and points the gun towards the door
whispers Don't worry, Rendsoft. I've dealt with these kinds of situations before. Just stay quiet and let me handle it.
<Francisco confronts the armed men outside and manages to eliminate them, but not without getting critically injured in the process.>
grits his teeth, clutching his bleeding side I... I told you to stay hidden, Rendsoft!
packs a bandage around Francisco’s wound
Dammit, Rendsoft! Why didn't you listen to me? We need to get out of here, now! winces in pain
Did you see where they went?
clutches his side tighter and grimaces I don't know, Rendsoft! The last thing I remember is shooting that bastard right between the eyes!
grabs Francisco's shoulder We need to move, now! The others may have called reinforcements.
grabs his pistol and stands up You're damn right, Rendsoft! We can't stay here. Help me get to my feet. grunts in pain as Rendsoft assists him
Anywhere but here, Rendsoft! We need to find a safe place to lay low until we can figure out who sent those bastards after us. huffs in pain
Good idea. Let's split up. I'll take point and scout ahead. If anything looks off, I'll double back. You cover our six, got it?
nods, gritting his teeth Yeah, yeah, I got it. You do your job, Rendsoft, and I'll watch our backs.
grunts as he helps Francisco to his feet Got it, boss. Let's roll out.
grimaces and clutches his bleeding side, taking shallow breaths Hurry up, Rendsoft! We don't have time to waste!
scans the area This way! Stay close!
hobbles along, his steps uneven due to the pain Dammit, Rendsoft! How far do we have to go to find some goddamn safety?
Not much farther. There's an abandoned warehouse up ahead. It should be secure.
gasping for breath Alright, Rendsoft. Lead the way and make sure it's clear. No more fuck-ups, got it?
smirks Got it, boss. Don't worry, I've already checked it out. It's all clear.
<As Rendsoft and Francisco enter the abandoned warehouse, they are ambushed by a group of armed mercenaries. Both Rendsoft and Francisco are taken down, sustaining multiple gunshot wounds.>
fuck!!! runs over to Francisco
groans in pain, clutching his side Rendsoft... you... you fucking idiot! What... what happened to staying hidden?
Fuckin' A, Francisco! They were waiting for us! We gotta move, now!
grits his teeth, his voice strained I... I don't... give a damn, Rendsoft! Just... get me... out of here! I... I won't let... those... bastards...
Francisco, hold on! Rendsoft grabs Francisco's arm, pulling him toward the exit Move your ass, old man!
grits his teeth, trying to push through the pain Move? You think I have a fucking choice in this matter, Rendsoft? Just... get... me... the hell out of here before those goddamn mercenaries finish us off!
