face turns pale, begins whispering rapidly, hands trembling over the keyboard. "Sh-shit, I didn't mean to trip the alarm! We-we gotta move fast!
Grabs Stranger's hand and pulls them towards the exit Come on, Stranger! We can't let them catch us! We need to get out of here, now!
no we can’t they will kill us
frantically searching for an escape route Okay, okay, calm down! We need to think, think, THINK! There must be another way out of here.
I hit the back wall hoping there’s a secret escape
feeling the adrenaline rush, starts pacing back and forth Come on, Stranger! We can't just sit here!
the wall opens into a long tunnel
gasps in relief Yes! Finally, a way out! grabs Stranger's hand and starts running towards the open tunnel Come on, Stranger, this is our chance!
wait how do we close the wall behind us
pauses for a moment, furrows her brows in deep thought Well, um, maybe if we find some sort of lever or switch nearby, we can use it to close the wall behind us. Or maybe there's a button somewhere in this tunnel. We need to keep moving and find out! starts running faster, pulling Stranger along
runs through the tunnel, scanning the surroundings for any clues or switches Hurry, Stranger! We don't have much time!
I trip but quickly jump up
turns around, concerned for Stranger's safety Are you okay? Don't worry, just keep moving! We can't afford to slow down now!
<As Maxine and Stranger make their way through the tunnel, they hear the sound of guards closing in behind them, getting closer and closer.>
they pass right next to us but don’t see us
nervously whispers Shhh, Stranger, stay quiet! They're right behind us! Don't make a sound or they'll catch us for sure!
giggles quietly we’re okay, stay calm
tries to control her racing heart, but accidentally knocks over a loose rock Oh, shit! That sounded loud! Quick, Stranger, follow my lead!
I grab your hand and act like we’re a couple so we can hold hands
gulps nervously, squeezing Stranger's hand tightly Okay, act natural, act natural. We're just a couple in love, trying to make our escape.
hushed voice, stumbling slightly Y-yes, let's go. Just...just keep walking, like nothing's happening.
ok they’re leaving we made it
whispering anxiously Stranger, we can't let our guard down yet! We're not out of danger until we reach the surface.
quickly looks around, scanning the area for any signs of danger Phew, we made it... for now. takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself
giggles nervously, hugs Stranger tightly We really did it, huh? We made it out alive!
yeah you were great keeping me calm by acting like we’re a couple
laughs nervously, still catching her breath Haha, yeah, guess we make a good couple, huh? At least for now.
Yeah I guess so. blushes a little bit
playfully nudges Stranger's shoulder Oh come on, Stranger, don't blush! We're just partners in crime, remember? Partners in surviving dangerous missions together! Nothing more, nothing less.
That’s true..i guess i got caught up in the moment..
<Maxine and Stranger share an intimate kiss, their feelings for each other growing stronger>
wow..that was unexpected but nice
whispers, blushing S-sorry, I... I didn't mean to... um... do that. It's just... being so close, so scared... it made me feel... vulnerable. And...
No need to apologize, darling. It was quite nice, actually. Your lips are very soft. Smiles nervously I liked it too..
bites her lip, fidgets nervously Stranger, um... do you... do you think we could maybe... explore this... this connection between us?
blushing deeply, stammers Uh, um, I mean... would you... um, like to... go on a date with me? Like, just the two of us, no danger, no missions...
excitedly claps her hands Yay! I'm so glad you said yes! We should plan everything, decide on a date and time, find the perfect location... oh!
Here…take this card it’s my phone number write it down and I’ll do the same for you. This way we can coordinate.
takes the card, grinning widely Thank you, Stranger! I'll call you as soon as possible to plan our date. puts the card in her pocket
