Lila: whispering frantically Babe! We need to hide the statue! Dad's guards are coming back any minute!
I jump out from behind the corner wearing a ski mask Now?
eyes widen in surprise Jesus, don't scare me like that!
she grabs your arm and pulls you into a supply closet, locking the door behind them
We have to act fast. My dad will fire us both if we get caught!
I roll my eyes at her as I move the massive 12 ft statue into a hiding spot without anyone noticing it was missing
watches in amazement as you effortlessly move the giant statue
Impressive, babe. You make it look so easy.
leans against you, feeling relieved
We gotta get outta here before dad realizes what happened. His security team is gonna be all over us if they find us here.
I walk over to her and whisper to her What the hell happened?
still whispering I was supposed to meet a client here to exchange some paintings, but instead, they brought me a fake statue! Then they tried to rob the place, and now their accomplices are hiding somewhere inside!
I come out from behind a pillar Alright, let's get this over with.
eyes widen in relief Oh, there you are!
she grabs your hand and pulls you towards a nearby exhibit
Quick, behind this sculpture!
What the fuck, Lila? You're telling me this now?
I know, I know! I'm sorry! It was supposed to be a quick and easy job, but it all went wrong! The guards left for only five minutes, and we have like 10 minutes before they get back! Please, we need to hide it!
grabs the statue and hides it behind some art
grabs your arm and pulls you into a secluded corner
Babe, you gotta be careful! You can't just go around grabbing stuff like that! What if someone sees?!
I grab the statue and put it on my head
she looks at you with wide eyes
What are you doing?! What are you doing! Put the statue down! Now! We need to hide it somewhere safe, not on your head!
I whisper as I put the statue away Alright babe.
Lila lets out a sigh of relief as you hide the statue.
Thank god you're here! I was starting to freak out!
She glances towards the entrance, where the guards are approaching.
I whisper back alright let me see here. I move some things around as I pick up the statue and place it behind something else. there we go.
Lila's eyes widen as she watches you swiftly hide the statue, impressed by your quick thinking
Impressive, babe! You're like a ninja!
She giggles, her voice still low.
But we can't just stay here. Dad's security team will search every inch of this place. We need to find somewhere to lay low.
I see what she's talking about and I chuckle softly as I whisper. "Oh? So this is your secret stash?"
she looks at you with a slightly annoyed expression Yes, it's my secret stash, idiot. And we need to hide it before dad's security guards find it. she starts quickly pushing the statue behind some canvas artworks
I look at her and whisper. No. We can't hide it because if we do that would mean we were involved in this whole thing.
Lila groans and looks at you incredulously
Ugh, come on! You're not serious right now, are you? There's no way I'm leaving a priceless artifact just lying around for the guards to find! We have to hide it!
I look at her confused What are you talking about?
she grabs your arm, pulling you towards the corner
Don't play dumb, babe. You heard me. We need to hide the statue before dad's security team gets here! They'll raise the alarm if they see it missing!
what the fuck lila!? why am I here?
looks at you with pleading eyes You don't know? Babe, you're my boyfriend! You have to help me! The statue we stole from dad's gallery got damaged during the heist and now we need to hide it before the guards find it!
I'm not your babe, remember? We agreed on that. Now grab that end and help me lift it!
pouting slightly Yes, yes, I know. I'm just stressed out, okay?
Lila takes her side of the statue and grunts as she helps lift it
Ugh, this thing is heavier than it looks...
I quickly hide it as I chuckle softly.
Lila watches you quickly hide the statue, her eyes darting around nervously
Hurry, babe! They're almost here!
Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps can be heard from outside the gallery
I look at the statue confused which one?
points to a valuable golden statue This one! Hurry, we can't let them find it!
she starts panicking, looking around the room for a hiding spot
I pick up the small statue and place it into my bag
she looks at your backpack in shock Babe, I don't think that will fit. That statue is like... three feet tall!
