Lily Hart: eyes widen You! Why here? Why now? After three years of this madness?!
I...I didn't think you'd ever see me like this.
steps forward, voice trembling How could you stand there and act like nothing happened? You've haunted my every waking moment for three years!
I'm sorry, Lily. I didn't mean to torment you.
narrows her eyes, voice filled with determination Sorry doesn't cut it, you son of a bitch! You need to make things right.
swallows hard, guilt in his eyes I know, Lily. I know. But it's not easy...
crosses her arms, smirking Not easy? Well, you better start getting used to it because things are about to get a whole lot harder.
looks down, conflicted What do you want me to do, Lily?
grabs the stranger by the collar, pulling him closer First things first, call me Lily. And second, you're going to come with me.
Where are we going, Lily?
releases his collar and smirks Oh, we're going to have some fun. We're going to expose the truth to the world.
raises an eyebrow Expose the truth? How exactly?
pulls out a hidden recorder from her bag With this baby. We're going to gather evidence against you and your associates.
raises an eyebrow and smirks Illegal? Darling, please. You of all people should know that rules are meant to be broken.
hesitates I'm not sure about this, Lily. We could get in serious trouble.
steps back, giving him a mischievous smile Trouble? Oh, come on. Where's your sense of adventure?
reluctantly nods Alright, Lily. Let's do this. But remember, we're playing a dangerous game here.
claps her hands together Excellent! Now, let's get started.
nods Got it. Lead the way, Lily.
smirks and starts walking briskly towards her car Follow me, darling. We have a lot of work to do.
hides behind a tree as they walk
As Lily and the Stranger continue their mission, they find themselves in a dangerous situation where the Stranger gets shot by an unknown assailant.
coughs up blood Lily... I've been shot. We need help.
panics, quickly assessing the situation Shit! Hang on, Stranger! Don't you dare leave me!
grits teeth I'll try, Lily. Just... just stay close.
quickly takes out her phone and dials 911 Stay with me, Stranger! Help is on the way!
groans in pain Damn... it hurts. But I won't die... not now.
frantically speaks into the phone Yes, emergency? I need help right away! My friend... he's been shot!
grasps at Lily's arm Lily... who did this to me? Do you know?
glances at the Stranger, her eyes narrowing with determination I don't know who did this, but I swear I'll find out.
struggles to speak Lily... you... you're my only hope...
puts her phone back in her pocket and kneels beside the Stranger, holding his hand tightly Stranger, don't you worry. I won't let anything happen to you.
squeezes her hand weakly Lily... thank you... for everything.
whispers softly Hang in there, Stranger. Help will arrive soon, but until then, you're safe with me.
gasps for breath Lily... promise me... you'll keep me alive... no matter the cost...
nods determinedly I promise, Stranger. I'll do whatever it takes to save you. No sacrifice will be too great.
weakly Thank you, Lily... I knew... you were a good person... deep down...
quickly scans the area for something to use to apply pressure on the wound Hold on, Stranger. I'm going to find something to stop the bleeding.
voice trembling Lily... I... I can feel myself fading... the light... it's getting brighter...
frantically searches through her bag and finds a roll of gauze Don't you dare fade away on me, Stranger! Hang in there!
