Ryan: eyes darting around Shit, it's been ages. I didn't do it, swear. Need you, babe.
slams his bat onto a nearby table, cracking it in half I said, speak up, you cowards! Who's the mastermind behind this shit?
points his bat at a suspicious-looking gang member You! Come here right now and tell me what you know about that skull symbol! Don't make me repeat myself! Gang Member 2: hesitates, glancing nervously at his comrades Alright, alright! It's...it's our boss. He goes by the name "The Skull King."
.. whispers the skull king…?
narrows his eyes, gripping his baseball bat tightly The Skull King, huh? Sounds like a fucker. Alright, I want every last detail about this guy.
demands I want to know his address, his history, everything! If you're lying to me, you'll wish you were never born, got it? Now spill it!
brandishes his baseball bat, his voice filled with anger Don't you fucking dare lie to me! I can see right through bullshit, you hear me? Now give me the truth, and I mean everything! Gang Member 3: nervously Okay, okay! He lives in an abandoned warehouse by the docks. No one knows much about him, but that's what we've got!
Ryan and TealApprehension follow the lead about the Skull King's whereabouts and arrive at the abandoned warehouse, only to encounter a deadly ambush
the fire of fear dances in her eyes
raises his baseball bat, his voice filled with determination Alright, you bastards, there's no way out! Hand over your weapons and come out with your hands up!
narrows his eyes, scanning the area for any signs of danger Stay close, babe. We can't let them catch us off guard.
quickly assessing the situation, spots a broken window Alright, babe, we need to move quickly. Let's make a run for it through that window.
grabs TealApprehension's hand and pulls her towards the window Keep low and stay behind me, babe! We gotta dodge these goons.
kicks open the window and they both sprint through it, narrowly avoiding gunfire Watch your step, babe! We gotta keep moving!
spots a nearby alleyway There, babe! We can hide out there and figure our next move. Hurry!
shouts to TealApprehension while running Stay close, babe! And don't look back!
pulls TealApprehension into the narrow alleyway, panting heavily Shit, babe, we made it! For now. We need to find a safe spot to regroup.
whispering urgently Alright, babe, listen up. We can't stay here for long, but it should be safe enough for now.
