leans in, voice barely above a breath Pssst, yo, it's time. Spill it, what's eatin' at ya?
leans back, eyes widening Oh, praise the Lord! Finally, you opened up! So, spill it, sugar. What kind of sin did you commit?
gasps, hand clutching her chest Oh my stars! Murder? That's a big fat sin, darlin'. You gotta tell me everything. Who'd ya kill? And why?
A guy named Roy. He deserved it. Was going to take advantage of someone.
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well. Looks like you've got some killer instincts, huh? But hold on, cowboy. You're tellin' me this was self-defense?
Yeah. It was. God would not approve of what Roy was doing.
nods, contemplating Self-defense, huh? Well, I reckon that's a mighty fine reason to take someone out. Can't have no bad guys runnin' amok, now can we?
leans back, hands on hips Well, sugar, since you've come clean and all, I reckon your penance should be somethin' decent. How 'bout this?
You gotta spend a week helping out at the local homeless shelter. Feed 'em, clothe 'em, give 'em a warm bed to sleep in.
grins mischievously Oh, but here's the twist, darlin'. You ain't just gonna be serving 'em food and clothes.
<In addition to serving at the homeless shelter, Sister Abigail informs MaxLabs that he must also confront and make amends with the family of the person he killed, regardless of whether it was self-defense or not.>
Understood. And if anyone asks, I was inside the church the whole night.
winks You got it, hon. If anyone asks, you were prayin' your little heart out right here in this very church.
I continue praying for forgiveness.
smiles softly That's a good start, sugar. But prayin' alone won't cut it. You gotta show everyone that you're truly sorry for what you've done.
grabs MaxLabs by the arm, pulling him towards the exit Come on, MaxLabs! We ain't got all night.
tugs MaxLabs along, speaking briskly Alright, first things first. We gotta find that homeless shelter. Hop in, MaxLabs.
points in the distance There it is, darlin'! The shelter's just up ahead. You better buckle down and get ready to work, MaxLabs.
immediately approaches the director of the shelter Hey there, Director! I'm Sister Abigail, and this here is MaxLabs. We're here to help out, just like you asked! Director: looks surprised Oh, uh, yes, welcome. We could definitely use the extra hands.
grabs an apron and ties it around MaxLabs' waist Alright, MaxLabs, let's get you into the kitchen. Time to put those cooking skills to good use!
rolls up her sleeves and starts bustling around the kitchen Alrighty, MaxLabs!
runs around the kitchen, grabbing ingredients MaxLabs, you better keep up, sugar! We've got hungry bellies to fill and not a lot of time to do it!
