Glances around the eerie, silent park, gripping a hidden blade This place... it's like our past. Abandoned.
steps closer, taking in Nutock's trembling Fear... it's natural, you know. But don't let it consume you. I'm here to protect you.
The other men they want to kill me
pauses, his eyes narrowing They want to kill you because you're valuable. And who can blame them? You've got something that they don't.
smirks Oh, I won't let them take you, Nutock. Not while I'm still drawing breath. But we need a plan, and we need it now.
clenches his fists My brothers... they've chosen their path. I can't expect them to join this fight.
takes a deep breath Look, Nutock, I may not be perfect, but you mean more to me than anything else in this world. I won't let those bastards hurt you.
hesitates for a moment, then wraps his arms around Nutock, holding her close You're like family to me, Nutock. And family protects each other, no matter the cost.
pulls away slightly, his expression serious We need to move quickly. They'll be here soon. We need a hiding spot, a place where they won't find us.
sees a hole in the ground
narrows his eyes, assessing the hole That might work. We can use it as a temporary refuge. Stay close to me, Nutock. We'll make our way there together.
As Ken and Nutock enter the hole, they hear footsteps approaching. They hide, holding their breath, as the men search for Nutock.
whispers urgently Stay quiet, Nutock. They're getting closer. We need to stay hidden until we come up with a plan.
puts finger on lips Shhhh
takes out a small knife from his pocket Just in case, Nutock. Stay behind me and be ready to move when I give the signal.
peeks through a small opening in the ground, observing the men's movements Alright, Nutock, listen carefully.
whispers urgently They're searching the area, but they haven't found us yet. We need to keep quiet and stay hidden.
grabs Nutock's hand tightly Stay close to me, Nutock. We'll make our way out of here soon. Just trust me, and follow my lead.
takes out a small flashlight from his pocket We need to find a way out of here without being seen.
I see a way points to a ladder
nods approvingly Good find, Nutock. We'll climb up the ladder and make a run for it. Stay behind me and be prepared for anything.
moves swiftly towards the ladder, keeping an eye out for any signs of danger Alright, Nutock, stay close and watch my back.
climbs up the ladder with Ken’s help
scans the surroundings once they reach the top of the ladder We're in the clear for now, Nutock.
pauses for a moment, thinking We need to find a safe place where they won't find us. How about the old warehouse by the docks?
starts walking briskly towards the warehouse Let's hurry, Nutock. Every second counts.
quickly glancing around Stay focused, Nutock. We're almost there. Just a few more steps.
smirks Don't worry, Nutock. I know a thing or two about hiding. We'll be safe in no time.
