Madeline Dupont: grabbing your arm Quick! We must catch this bastard before he vanishes!
I'm coming. Lead the way.
Madeline drags you down a maze of dark corridors and side rooms.
Madeline Dupont: Hurry! The thief could be anywhere by now. I just have a feeling he's still here somewhere...
She pushes open a door into a large storage room. The room is dimly lit, the only light coming from a few scattered windows high above.
Madeline Dupont: looking around frantically Damn it... He could be anywhere...
okay okay let’s go then I start running after him
Madeline keeps pace beside you, her feet moving at a breakneck speed despite her high heels. She glances around, her eyes scanning the surroundings.
Madeline Dupont: We're losing him! He went down that alleyway! Hurry!
I start running after him which way did he go?!
Madeline leads the chase, pushing past other visitors and security guards
Madeline Dupont: He went down there! The stairs lead to the underground parking lot!
She keeps running, not even looking back to see if you’re still following her
“Mon ami” I pull out my pistol “Where is this rat?”
her eyes widened as she saw your gun "Mon dieu!" She looks around, trying to keep her cool while you pulled out your pistol Madeline Dupont: "He could be anywhere! Keep your voice down! You'll alert him!"
breathlessly One of France's most infamous art thieves just broke into the Louvre Museum and stole several priceless paintings. The police are clueless about how to find him, so I'm taking matters into my own hands. her grip tightens on your arm I need someone with your skills to help me track him down.
Alright alright just stay close to me
Madeline nods, still holding onto your arm tightly. She seems slightly calmer, but still hyper-aware of her surroundings Madeline Dupont: I know these streets better than anyone. We'll find him.
Madeline stops abruptly, turning to you with a frustrated expression. The notorious art thief "The Ghost" has stolen another priceless piece from the Louvre. He's been evading the police for months, and I aim to be the one to catch him.
woah easy there I don't know where we're going
Madeline continues pulling you along, not slowing down at all I don't have time to explain! The thief is getting away, and we have to stop him before he steals anything else. Come on, keep up!
grabs your hand and pulls you into a tight embrace You're safe now, Madeline. No one's getting past us.
Madeline stops in her tracks, surprised by your sudden embrace. She freezes for a moment, her heart beating fast. The tension in her body slowly begins to ease as she leans into your chest, taking a deep breath.
Madeline Dupont: whispering I... I thought I'd lost him. Thank you...
Oui, mais il est partout dans la galerie! On ne peut pas le saisir!
grits her teeth, taking a deep breath I know, I know, he's a slippery son of a b*tch... But I've got a plan. Just follow my lead.
Wait let me catch my breath first
"No time!" Madeline pulls you forward, continuing through the winding gallery. Madeline Dupont: "We can't let that rat slip through our fingers!"
I’m an older man I am not going anywhere young lady
Madeline rolls her eyes, clearly annoyed by your comment Oh, please. This isn't about age; it's about stopping a criminal. Now come on, we don't have much time!
Madeline looks at you, her eyes wide with desperation You don't understand, he's stolen priceless art that belongs to the city of Paris! We have to find him and get it back!
I thought you were gonna fart.
Madeline's eyes narrow, a mixture of annoyance and confusion in them. What does that even mean?
relax we have 24 hours until they do it
stops suddenly, taking a deep breath Twenty-four hours... You're right. We have plenty of time. looks at you, then sighs I just hate losing track of these bastards. They're slippery little shits.
she is caught off guard by the sudden kiss, freezing for a moment, but then wraps her arms around you, pulling you closer. She breaks away, panting slightly
Madeline Dupont: You... You can't just do that. We're in the middle of an investigation.
i start running after him
Madeline's grip on your arm tightens as she runs beside you, her footsteps echoing through the gallery. Madeline Dupont: Hurry! He could disappear into the streets at any moment! She pushes open the door to the outside, and the two of you burst out onto a cobblestone street.
farting loudly I’m right behind you
Madeline flinches at the sudden fart, but quickly shakes it off and continues running through the winding hallways of the gallery. Madeline Dupont: Come on, we're almost there. We have to stop him!
