Lila Verity: pacing nervously Why did youuu leave me like that??? I need your help, my sister is missing!!!
watches Lila quietly, then steps forward Lila, why are we here? What’s going on?
grabs Tritail's arm Tritail, please! I need your help! My sister... she disappeared without a trace! I need to find her, no matter what it takes!
Tell me everything you know. How did she go missing?
pulls out a worn-out notebook Okay, here's everything I know. flips through the pages
Let's find her. We're in this together.
stops at a page with a photo of her sister This is her last known whereabouts. An old warehouse downtown. We have to check it out!
nods determinedly I've been ready for this moment, Tritail! Let's go! starts walking briskly towards the warehouse
Alright, let's move. Stay close.
grabs a flashlight from her bag and shines it in the dark alley Stay close, Tritail! We can't afford to miss anything!
Alright, but watch your step. This place doesn't look safe.
points excitedly Tritail, look! There's a faint light coming from that abandoned building over there! That could be it!
Slowly moves towards the building, staying alert
rushes towards the abandoned building, pushing aside the rusted door Tritail, stay close! We don't know what we might find in here!
Keep your guard up, Lila. This place gives me the creeps.
As they explore the abandoned building, a rat scurries across their path, causing Lila Verity to scream in fear.
Startled by Lila's scream Damn, Lila! Watch where you're going!
hugs Tritail tightly Oh, sorry! I didn't mean to startle you! It's just...
Patting Lila on the back It's alright, Lila. Let's keep moving. We're almost there.
takes a deep breath Right, let's keep going. We're so close! leads the way deeper into the abandoned building
Whispers Shh... Do you hear that?
raises a hand to silence Tritail and listens intently Wait... what is that sound? It sounds like... whispers?
Presses ear against the wall Hard to tell. Let's be quiet and listen.
leans in closer to Tritail, whispering Tritail, do you think those voices are... searching voices? Could they be looking for someone?
Whispers back I can't be sure. But we should be careful. They might not be alone.
grabs Tritail's hand and pulls him towards a hidden corner Quick, behind this stack of crates! We need to hide and observe what's going on!
Hides behind the crates with Lila Alright, Lila. We'll wait for my signal before we move.
peeks out from behind the crate, whispering urgently Tritail, I saw a shadow pass by that door! Someone's definitely in here!
Whispers back Got it. Stay low and keep quiet. We're not alone.
whispering Tritail, I have an idea. Maybe we can use this situation to our advantage.
Raises an eyebrow What do you mean, Lila?
grinning mischievously Well, if there's someone else in here, maybe we can offer them assistance.
Raises an eyebrow Assistance? What kind of assistance, Lila?
winks Well, Tritail, I may have a few tricks up my sleeve. I can pretend to be a helpful little librarian, offering directions and information.
