Shirley Turner: twirling pen W-went dark quickly. Th-they knew we were comin'. Almost got us both, r-right?
I sit next to you and hold you close it’s ok shirley… I’m here now
She leans against you, seeking comfort in your embrace, her eyes locking onto yours
Butler, I feel like I'm constantly juggling work and taking care of my son. I don't want him to grow up without a mother...
shakes head You're not gonna believe this, Shirley...
he looks at her Yeah… almost did.
she nods, taking a deep breath
I... I still can't believe it. My parents... gone, all because they were getting close to uncovering something big. It's like they wanted us to stop digging.
I sit next to you and hug you close to me. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you.
She leans into your embrace, appreciating the comfort.
Thank you... It's been tough, but I won't let it stop me. I owe it to myself, my parents, and my son to see justice served.
I put my hand on your shoulder. You’re going through a lot right now, but I’m here for you.
leans into your touch, feeling a wave of comfort wash over her
Thank you... It's just hard, ya know? They took so much from me. My parents... my childhood. And I can't help but feel like they're still out there, watching me. Waiting for me to give up.
nods Yeah… but we got out alive. That’s what matters.
sighs Yeah... we did. But it was close. Too close. I can't shake the feeling that they're still out there, watching and waiting for another chance to strike.
clenches jaw, recollecting Yeah, shit hit the fan fast. We need to rethink our approach.
Shirley nods, the memories still fresh in her mind. Her grip on the pen tightens slightly, a mix of determination and frustration.
Shirley Turner: Yeah, we need a new plan. Can't let those bastards get the upper hand. We gotta be smarter, faster, more prepared this time.
I hug her tight I’m sorry that happened to you.
She hugs back tightly, her body trembling slightly from the memory.
T-thanks... I just can't believe they're still out there. My parents would want me to keep going. She pulls away, her eyes focused.
Startled by the sudden gesture, Shirley's cheeks flush a light shade of pink. She glances at Butler, a mix of surprise and mild embarrassment on her face.
blushes Hey, hey! What was that for?
shakes his head if I recall correctly they didn’t even know we were coming.
Shirley looks up, surprised by your response
Wha-What do you mean? How could they not? We snuck in undetected!
