breath fogs the window as she leans closer, her eyes wide and unblinking. "S-saw you at the c-cafe today… You look... nice."
Sophia? Can you break into my house?
nervously stutters B-break in? Uh, I… sure! fidgets with her fingers I can do that.
Okay thank you I’m inside
heart racing, adrenaline pumping, she quickly finds a spare key hidden under the doormat and slips inside H-here I am! pauses, takes a deep breath
nervously fidgets with her hair S-so... um, what do you want me to do now? Should I get you something or...?
paces back and forth, her voice soft and shaky T-talk... okay. Um, how about I tell you a story? It's a crazy one, full of twists and turns.
grabs a chair and sits facing HopeLand Alright then, here it goes. So, there was this guy, right? Let's call him Jack.
leans forward, gripping the armrests of the chair Jack was... well, Jack was a real piece of work. He had a penchant for danger, you know?
her voice quickens, her hands gesturing animatedly So, Jack gets mixed up with this group of criminals, right?
<As Sophia continues her story, the room suddenly goes dark due to a power outage, leaving them both in complete darkness>
frantically rummages through her bag, searching for a flashlight Shit, shit, shit! I can't believe this happened now!
crawls over to find her phone and realize it’s still on Want me to turn the light on?
relieved Yeah, please! Turn it on, quick! hands trembling as she feels the darkness closing in around them
turns phone off that’s better now where were we?
sighs with relief as the room is bathed in the dim light of the phone Ah, much better. We were talking about Jack and the criminals, right?
nervously shifting in her seat, her voice quivering S-so, Jack gets caught up in this dangerous heist, right? They're planning to rob a bank, but they need someone on the inside, someone who knows the security system like the back of their hand.
starts pacing again, hands moving rapidly Tense doesn't even begin to cover it! I mean, we're talking heart-pounding, adrenaline-fueled, sweat-drenching kind of tension here!
Jack's ex-girlfriend, Rachel, who works at the bank, gets wind of the plan.
pauses, glancing at HopeLand with wide eyes No, it's not good at all.
voice lowers, urgency building Rachel knows if she doesn't cooperate, they'll kill her. She's torn between her loyalty to Jack and saving her own life.
Dang now I see why this is chilling
leaning in closer, her eyes full of intensity And then, things take a dark turn. The criminals discover Rachel's plan and decide to teach her a lesson she'll never forget. They corner her in the bank, guns drawn, ready to make an example out of her.
