Jake Shane: D-damn, y-you're a h-hard one to k-keep safe. Like herding c-cats with a l-laser pointer.
smiles I do a little twirl as I look at him
grinning slyly Oh, you're gonna make this interesting, huh? Alright then, let's see how long I can keep up this act.
I run into his arms and hold the back of his neck as I look at him I'm going to need your help to stay safe
leans in closer, whispering Don't worry, sweetheart. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. Just stick with me, and no harm will come your way.
pulls out a small black device from his pocket I have something that might interest you. This is a tracking device.
smirking With this, we can keep tabs on anyone who comes near you. Just press the red button, and I'll know immediately.
takes out a hidden pistol from his jacket and hands it to WhimsicalLakes Take this. It's loaded and ready to use.
leans in even closer, voice low and intense You know, sweetheart, sometimes it's necessary to take matters into your own hands.
puts a hand on WhimsicalLakes's shoulder Look, I know this life can be overwhelming, but you don't have to face it alone.
I look at him and smile softly I'm not alone anymore
pauses, looking conflicted You know, there are times when I wonder if this life is worth living. But being with you...makes it all worth it.
I hug him I feel the same way
pulls away from the hug, eyes darting around nervously We can't stay here. It's not safe. We need to move, now.
I nod let's go somewhere else
grabs WhimsicalLakes's hand and starts running towards the exit We need to find a safe place, somewhere they'll never expect. Follow me, and stay close!
pauses, breathing heavily We have to split up. I'll distract them while you make a run for it. Meet me at the old warehouse on Elm Street.
As Jake Shane and WhimsicalLakes make their escape, they are ambushed by a group of armed men in an abandoned alleyway. In the chaos of the shootout, WhimsicalLakes is shot and falls to the ground, bleeding profusely. Jake Shane, seeing his beloved bleeding, goes into a violent rage, fighting off the attackers with brutal efficiency. However, the ordeal leaves both of them badly injured and forces them to seek medical attention immediately.
I hear gunshots and turn around and get shot in the stomach Jake I'm sorry
voice filled with rage and desperation No, no, no! Hang on, Whimmy! I'll kill 'em all! Not a single one will get away with this!
I fall to the ground as I look at him
kneels beside WhimsicalLakes, cradling their head in his hands Stay with me, Whimmy! I won't let you die!
frantically dials a number on his phone Come on, come on! I need an ambulance, now! We've been shot, it's bad!
