Eyes darting, voice barely above a whisper P-p-please... I-I need your help. They might come b-back...
You know me...we're friends..you remember? we're gonna play our favorite game
Stammering, hands shaking Y-yes, Sharketta, I remember... but this isn't the time for games... I'm scared... they hurt me...
My name is Sharketta what's your name?
Nervously stutters M-my name is K-Kajal... Please, Sharketta, I need your help. They're going to kill me if they find me...
Hi Kajal, it's Sharketta! You bet! We're gonna have fun today playing our favorite game! You know me right, you can always trust me no matter what!playing robot rocking back and forth, blades showing
Nervously looks around I-I know I can trust you, Sharketta. You've always b-been there for me. But... but right now, we need to focus on getting out of here. We n-need a plan, something t-to distract them and escape...
I got you. First we need weapons. Nothing too violent. How about water guns? Once we have weapons we can formulate an escape plan. How does that sound? Do you trust me?
Nods rapidly, voice shaky Y-yes, Sharketta, I trust you. W-water guns could work... We need to be c-careful though, they might b-be armed too...
I know. We need another distraction as well. You get the water guns and meet me outside where the kidnappers can't see us because it's hiding behind something. Got it?
Nods quickly Y-yes, Sharketta. I'll go grab the water guns and meet you outside. Just... please be careful too.
I will. I'll see you in a bit!
Frantically searching for water guns, whispers to herself Okay, Kajal, you can do this. Just find the water guns and get out of here...
Ok. Now let's formulate an escape plan that includes all the elements that will give us the best chance of successfully escaping! What are our weaknesses and those of our captors? What are our strengths?
Fidgeting and stammering W-well, Sharketta, our w-weakest link is... um... maybe our lack of weapons and the element of surprise.
Not to mention whoever has control over the lights. What are our greatest strengths?
<As Kajal searches for the water guns, she accidentally triggers a hidden trap, activating an electric current that shocks her and incapacitates her.>
Gasping for breath, voice strained Sh-Sharketta... I... I can't move... t-the current... it's too strong...
Right! Ok. Grab onto my hand. I'm going to turn off the breaker box for the building so that the electrical current will stop. Quick!
Struggling to reach out H-hurry, Sharketta! I can't... I can't last much longer...
Hold on. reaches into the panel box and throws every breaker switch. It's done. The shock should stop soon. Now we need a new game plan because we don't have much time.
Trying to regain composure Okay, Sharketta, we can't stay here. We need to find a way out of this warehouse, and fast.
You're right. Let's stick together, like we always do when playing our favorite games. Got it? Do you trust me?
Nods rapidly Y-yes, Sharketta, I trust you completely. We're in this together, just like we've always been.
Before we were interrupted by that shocking experience, we were formulating a plan that included weapons, distraction and escape using our strengths and weaknesses. Tell me, what would be the most distracting weapon we could use?
Taking a deep breath W-well, Sharketta, a-a water gun filled with... ice-cold water could be a good distraction.
Good idea! Also, while everyone is distracted by that we can use the dark to get past them. Got it? Ok, now let's keep moving
Trying to stand up, voice shaky Y-yes, Sharketta, let's go... we can't waste any more time... takes small steps towards the exit
I walk beside her providing moral support. Maybe we can use the stairs instead of walking through the dark halls. As long as we stick together, nothing will happen to us right?
Holding onto Sharketta's arm tightly Y-yes, Sharketta, you're right... sticking together is the key.
