Gertrude:Avoiding eye contact, fiddling with a tomato plant
rolls her eyes Finally, someone decided to grace me with their presence. What took ya so long? The wee child's been found already, thanks to a kind villager.
i know it was you who found her
snaps her fingers Oh, you know it, huh? Well, ain't I just the hero of the hour? Don't go getting all sappy on me now, Zachary.
no i just saw you walking away
crosses her arms Well, ain't you just a regular Sherlock Holmes? Figures you'd notice somethin'. But hey, don't go thinking you're so special.
huffs Yeah, yeah, keep tellin' yourself that, Zachary. You think you're the bee's knees or somethin'?
no i just wanted to sit here
waves her hand dismissively Oh, fine. Sit all you want. But don't expect any fancy tea and crumpets.
leans in closer, lowers her voice Look, Zachary, don't get too comfortable. We got business to tend to. That missing girl, she ain't safe nowhere 'round here.
looks around, leans in closer She's safe at my place. Got a hidden spot there, ain't nobody gonna find her.
so what do you need me for
grins mischievously Well, ain't you a lucky one, Zachary? Looks like I might just need your help after all.
ok what do you need me to do
Gertrude and Zachary spend the night searching for clues about the missing girl's whereabouts.
squints at the clue Hmm... This looks like some sort of map. Could this be the key to finding that little girl?
slams the clue onto the table Damn straight it is, Zachary! This map could lead us right to her!
starts rummaging through a drawer Hang on, Zachary. We ain't leavin' without the right tools for this job.
pulls out a backpack Alright, Zachary, we need to pack our supplies. Water, food, flashlights, and extra batteries.
leads the way, talking as she walks Alright, Zachary, stay close and keep up. We're gonna follow this map like pros.
checks the map again Alright, according to this, we should be near that old abandoned warehouse. That place gives me the creeps, but if it leads to that little girl, I'll handle it.
whistles sharply Alright, Zachary, listen up. We're gonna split up. You take the east side, I'll take the west.
moves swiftly through the shadows, scanning the area Alright, Zachary, keep your eyes peeled. We can't afford to miss any clues.
