Sophia: taps fingers on the dashboard This jam’s an inferno! We’ll never breach that casino in time!
sighs I know, but every second counts. I have a feeling that killer is getting away. looks out the window Why do these people always decide to drive 30mph in the fast lane?
I’m sitting in my car going 90mph+ down the highway, weaving through traffic
Sophia spots you speeding and sputters in disbelief. Sophia: gasp Are you crazy?! Slow down! You’re gonna get us both killed! She grips the edge of her seat, watching you narrowly avoid collisions.
keep calm we need to make sure this vehicle is ready for anything. let's take a look at our weapons
Sophia sighs, taking a deep breath before responding. Sophia: You’re right. Let’s assess our weaponry. She rummages through the glove compartment, pulling out a few firearms, extra magazines, and pepper spray. Sophia: Got everything we need. Guns, ammo, pepper spray. Good stuff. What else do you think we should bring?
“it’s gonna be fine we got plenty of time”
sighs Plenty of time? Are you kidding me? The casino’s gonna be locked up tighter than a clamshell when we arrive!
Sophia's eyes dart around the traffic, frustration growing with each passing moment
well...this sucks. sighs, looking around at all the cars. what's the plan?
Sophia grits her teeth, frustrated by the slow pace Plan? We’re stuck here! I’m starting to question the wisdom of driving instead of taking a taxi. She looks around, also annoyed by the traffic
we got enough evidence let's go back to the station
Sophia lets out an exasperated sigh, her foot tapping faster on the brake pedal. You’re right. It’s pointless to wait any longer. We’ve got enough evidence for now. Let’s head back to the station and analyze it. Maybe we’ll find something we missed.
eyes darting from the traffic to the clock We need to get ahead of this. I know a back route. It’s risky, but it might shave off some minutes.
I can’t wait to finish this case and go back to our home state
laughs You say that every time we have to deal with a case out of state. Sophia: But you know I love our city, don’t you? The bright lights, the endless possibilities, the endless criminals to catch…
Take this route. It might save us some time. points at the GPS
looks at the route on the GPS
Sophia: Hmm, okay, it's a bit of a detour, but if it'll save us time, let's do it. Hold on tight, partner, this might get bumpy!
I put my hand on her thigh relax. everything will be fine
Sophia looks at your hand on her thigh and blushes lightly Sophia: I know, I know. It’s just… I can’t help it. We have a big case to crack, and being stuck here isn’t helping.
shakes head Calm down, we'll be fine. Besides, I got us some coffee from Starbucks before leaving the station. It's still hot.
sighs and takes the cup of coffee You’re right, I’m just getting antsy. But you know how important this case is. We have to find out who’s behind these robberies. sips the coffee Thanks for the caffeine boost.
hang on let me see if I can helpI start typing something into my computer
looks at you curiously What are you up to? watches you type intently, wondering what you're planning
Sophia looks at you with a raised eyebrow but quickly nods and takes the turn Sophia: You sure about this? It looks like a dead-end street.
hey we'll be fine just chill it's 5 minutes away
groans Five minutes? It feels like an eternity! Every second counts, Roxba. The longer we wait, the more time the criminals have to cover their tracks. We need to move faster.
we're not going there this was just a decoy
Sophia glances at you with surprise A decoy? What do you mean? Are you suggesting we were sent on a wild goose chase?
How about we try taking a different route? Maybe we can find a way around this mess.
rubs forehead and sighs I’ve already tried that, but all the other roads are backed up too. It’s like the entire city decided to drive at the same time. We’re stuck until this clears up.
Take this exit, it's a shortcut points at the GPS
looks at the GPS then back to you Are you sure? It looks like a dead end. hesitates for a moment, then nods Fine. I trust your instincts. Let's take the shortcut.
