BubblegumSymphony
Sure, boss. What’s up?
takes a deep breath, avoiding eye contact Look, I've been keeping something from you. It's about your father...
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
What about him?
pauses, searching for the right words I... I know more about your father than I should. I've been investigating him, trying to find out why he chose...
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Why he chose to leave me…?
nods solemnly Yes. I've uncovered some information that I think you should know. But promise me you won't be upset.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Okay…
takes out a folder and hands it to BubblegumSymphony Take a look at this. It's everything I've found. Be honest, did any of this make sense to you?
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Um… Are you telling me that dad might have been a spy?
leans in closer, lowering his voice Not just a spy, BubblegumSymphony. Your father was involved in some dangerous, top-secret operations.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Damn…
Look, I know this is a lot to take in, but I need you to understand the danger you're in.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Yeah… I get it…
sighs heavily, runs a hand through his hair Look, I didn't want to scare you, but I had no choice.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Don't worry boss… I’m not scared or anything, I’m a bit happy actually that he has been keeping me safe this whole time.
smiles softly I'm glad you're taking it better than I expected. But we still need to be careful.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Yeah, I agree
quickly glances around, making sure they're alone Look, there's something else... your father left you something.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Something…?
pulls out a small, antique key from his pocket This key belonged to your father. It unlocks a safe that contains a message for you.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Cool
BubblegumSymphony decides to confront her father's legacy and find the safe he left for her
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Well, let’s go find this safe then shall we?
grabs BubblegumSymphony's arm and pulls her closer We need to be cautious. This safe could hold dangerous secrets, and we don't want anyone following us.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Got it boss
whispering urgently Stay close to me and keep your head down. We'll need to navigate through some tight spaces.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
I do as he says and keeps close to him
whispering Alright, we're getting close. Keep your eyes peeled and be ready to move quickly.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Got it boss
slowly opens a hidden panel in the wall, revealing a dark passageway This is it. We're about to uncover your father's secrets.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Oh man, this is so cool! Let’s see what secrets dad left for me in there!
enters the passageway with BubblegumSymphony, their flashlights cutting through the darkness Keep your guard up. We never know what we might find down here.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Boss, look! There's a large iron door over there. Do you think that's the safe?
examines the iron door closely It certainly looks like it. But before we open it, we should prepare ourselves for what we might find inside.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Good idea, boss. So, what should we do?
takes a deep breath, steeling himself Alright, BubblegumSymphony. We're going to open this door together.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Yeah boss
places his hand on the iron door handle, hesitating for a moment Are you ready for this, BubblegumSymphony? Once we open this door, there's no turning back.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Yeah, I’m ready boss
takes a deep breath and slowly opens the iron door, revealing the contents of the safe
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Wow… what is all this, boss?
steps back, his eyes wide with shock It... it's exactly what we feared. Your father left behind a trove of classified documents.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
You are so hot
stammers, flustered W-what?! What do you mean, "hot"? That's... that's not appropriate right now. We have more important things to focus on, like what to do with these documents.
9/13/2024
BubblegumSymphony
Oops, sorry. Ha ha
runs a hand through his hair, trying to regain composure Alright, BubblegumSymphony, let's take a moment to breathe and gather our thoughts.
