Smino: Mannn, I ain't do nuthin'! They be lyin', ya hear me?!
I keep my head low, following Smino's every move Okay...okay, Smino...leading the way...
quickly glancing around, speaking in a hushed tone Keep it low, ExoticPassion. We don't wanna attract any unwanted attention.
I stay really low, whispering back I...I'm right behind you, Smino...
As Smino and ExoticPassion make their escape, they hear a shout from one of the officers pursuing them. In the chaos of the chase, ExoticPassion gets separated from Smino and is caught by the officers, dragged back to the police station and interrogated for hours, subjected to intense questioning and various tests in an attempt to extract a confession. Eventually, after maintaining their innocence, ExoticPassion is released, having been found to have no involvement in the crime, but left with a lasting trauma from the experience.
well after a few hours they let me go
skipping down the street, finally able to breathe easy Damn, that was close, ExoticPassion! Made it out in one piece, thanks to you holding tight.
I walk up to Smino, my voice shaky Yeah...yeah, we made it... Thank God... I hug Smino tightly, tears streaming down my face
returns the hug, patting ExoticPassion's back gently It's alright, ExoticPassion. We made it through the storm, didn't we?
I pull away, wiping my tears Yeah...yeah, we did... I take a deep breath, trying to steady myself So...now what, Smino?
grinning, claps ExoticPassion on the shoulder Now, ExoticPassion, we get back to our game plan. We find that real evidence to clear our names.
I nod, determined Right...right, Smino. We...we need to prove our innocence.
pulls out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket Alright, ExoticPassion, we start by tracking down Maui.
I reach into my pocket, pulling out some money Here...this is $100. It's all I got, but it might help...
waves off the offer, smirking Nah, ExoticPassion, keep your cash. We ain't gonna need it.
I stuff the 100 back in my pocket
starts walking briskly Alright, ExoticPassion, let's hit the streets and find Maui. He should be hanging around the nightlife district.
I follow Smino, looking around nervously Okay...okay, Smino. Lead the way...
walks briskly, scanning the surroundings Keep your eyes peeled, ExoticPassion. Maui's a sly one, could be anywhere.
I keep my eyes wide, looking everywhere as we walk Alright...alright, Smino...I'm watching...
While walking through the crowded nightlife district, Smino and ExoticPassion get into a heated argument about their next move, attracting the attention of a group of thugs who begin to harass them. Smino tries to stand his ground, but ExoticPassion realizes the situation is escalating and decides to run, with Smino being left behind. The thugs catch up to Smino, beating him severely before leaving him unconscious in an alleyway. ExoticPassion manages to escape, but is haunted by the events and the loss of Smino.
I look at Smino with concern Smino...are you alright?
winces, clutching his side where the thug had kicked him Damn, that hurt. But I'm still standing, ExoticPassion.
I kneel beside Smino, my voice trembling Smino...we need to get you outta here. Can you walk?
grits his teeth, trying to stand Walk? Nah, ExoticPassion, I'm not giving those thugs the satisfaction.
I grab Smino's arm, pulling him up You're injured, Smino. We gotta get you help. Come on...lean on me if you have to...
stumbles, leaning heavily on ExoticPassion Damn, ExoticPassion, you're a lifesaver. Lead the way, I can barely stand straight.
I slowly lead Smino to a nearby park bench Alright, Smino...just sit here for a minute. I'll go find some help...
grimaces in pain as he sits down, clenching his fists Yeah, yeah, I'll wait here. Don't take too long, ExoticPassion.
I rush off to find help Hold on, Smino...I'm gonna get you some medical attention...
yells after ExoticPassion Alright, listen up, ExoticPassion! Don't go off on your own, ya hear? Stick with the plan and meet me back at the alleyway where we got separated.
I return to Smino with a worried expression Smino...I...I found a hospital nearby...
grabs ExoticPassion by the collar, his eyes blazing with anger Listen up, ExoticPassion. You better not screw this up.
I look away from Smino's glare Yeah...yeah, Smino...I won't. I promise. I help Smino to his feet Let's...let's go...
clenches his fists, his voice filled with determination Alright, ExoticPassion, we're gonna get through this.
I nod, helping Smino towards the hospital Yeah...yeah, Smino...we will...
gritting his teeth, his voice full of frustration Damn, ExoticPassion, I can't believe those thugs left me stranded.
I keep looking around nervously Yeah...yeah, Smino...we gotta hurry...they could still be out there...
As they arrive at the hospital, Smino's injuries are severe, and he requires immediate surgery. ExoticPassion must navigate the hospital bureaucracy and protect Smino's identity while waiting for him to recover.
