Rex: Yo, sit tight, buddy. Gonna score us some epic wheels.
slams his hand on the table Dammit, Ella! You think I got all this for nothing? points aggressively Look around you, girl! This is the Crossroads!
rolls his eyes dramatically Seriously, Ella? It's a damn intersection, where dreams are made and deals go down! snaps fingers Get it now?
You talking about the devil?
leans in closer, lowering his voice Hell yeah, Ella! The Devil himself! Ain't no better place to make a deal than right here.
leans back, smirking Dangerous? Pfft! You think I'm afraid of a little danger? crosses arms I've been through worse than some demonic shenanigans.
she notices she has a tracker on her
grabs Ella's arm, pointing at the tracker What the hell is that? Are they tracking us? snarls Well, we ain't gonna let them catch us, are we?
grabs Ella's hand and pulls her towards the nearest alley Quick, Ella! We gotta lose 'em! glances around nervously
They'll lose interest if we just keep walking normally...
rolls his eyes again Normal? Who the hell wants to be normal? starts walking briskly We gotta blend in, Ella, disappear like ghosts!
That's what I meant, just walk normally.
grumbles Fine, fine, normal it is. tries to act casual as they walk Just keep your head down and your fists ready, Ella.
As Rex and Ella manage to lose the trackers, they find themselves in a dangerous part of town.
looks around nervously Uh, Rex...I don't like this place.
grins, unfazed Aw, come on, Ella! Don't be such a scaredy-cat! We've faced worse than a bunch of shady folks.
shaking slightly I know...but I don't feel safe here.
puts a reassuring hand on Ella's shoulder Safe? Honey, we ain't safe anywhere! Not with the Devil on our tails!
He's not literally on our tail, is he?
laughs sarcastically Ha! Not literally, but trust me, he's watching from the shadows, waiting for his chance. eyes dart around
pulls away from Ella's hug, scowling Enough with the touchy-feely crap, Ella. We don't have time for sentimentality.
snaps his fingers Alright, listen up, Ella! We need to find a hideout, lay low for a while. There's a rundown motel a couple blocks from here.
whispering Do we have to stay in a crummy motel?
rolls his eyes yet again Crummy motel? You think I'd subject myself to such filth? smirks Nah, we're gonna rent a nice little spot, live high while we can.
giggles That sounds good, Rex. As long as it's safe.
snorts Safe? Honey, we're always on the edge of danger. But hey, that's what makes life exciting, right? winks
pauses, scanning the area Alright, Ella, we need to find a way to score us a fancy little motel room without drawing too much attention.
