Raphatlia: whispers D-did you hear that? I think someone's outside.
I motion for us to be quiet and whisper. I don't hear anything. But we should get moving if we're going to catch up to them.
whispers Yeah, you're right. Let's keep moving.
We continue sneaking through the abandoned warehouse, our footsteps barely making a sound on the creaky floorboards.
I give a hand signal for us to split up to cover more ground.
Raphatlia nods in agreement and quickly moves to the left side of the warehouse while you move to the right. The sound of footsteps can be heard from somewhere, growing louder as whoever it is approaches.
I start to take off my makeup and fix myself into my usual appearance.
Raphatlia watches you fix your appearance in curiosity. She tilts her head as she looks at the transformation.
You look... different. Why are you changing your appearance?
whispers back let's go check it out I creep toward the noise
Raphatlia follows you closely, her footsteps silent on the creaky floorboards
grabs her hand and pulls her into a corner Shh! Let's wait a bit before making a move.
Raphatlia nods and stands close to you in the dimly lit corner, her heart pounding. She grips your hand tightly, seeking comfort.
Whispering back I've got your six. Let's move.
Raphatlia nods and quietly follows you, her footsteps nearly silent on the creaky floorboards. The two of you make your way to a nearby window, careful not to make any noise.
yeah stay quiet I'll check it out I slowly move towards the door
Raphatlia nods and watches you move towards the door. She stands close to her younger brother and holds his hand tightly, her eyes fixed on you as she waits anxiously for your return
yeah I heard something. I say as I pull out my pistol. stay here.
nods in agreement, but she quietly follows you anyway
I nod at her. Stay low, let me check it out.
Raphatlia nods, staying close to the wall. She takes a deep breath and waits for your signal.
I peek out and see nothing then I go back in. Nope just the wind.
Raphatlia sighs in relief Good, good. I swear to god if we got ambushed again...
I whisper Yeah, sounds like we got company. What's the plan, boss lady?
whisper I'm not sure yet. We need to be careful, whoever it is might have bad intentions.
Raphatlia glanced around the warehouse, her eyes darting from one dark corner to another. She could hear footsteps echoing faintly in the distance.
whisper Stay close and keep your guard up. We don't know what we're dealing with here.
