Sophia Montgomery: whispering Did you see that shadow? This place gives me the creeps!
he pulls his gun out where did you see it?
whispering Over there. In the hallway that leads to the kitchen.
Sophia discreetly readies her own weapon and moves closer to the hallway, her back against the wall.
Yeah I did. I aim my gun at it. Stay behind me.
Sophia follows your instructions and stands behind you. Be careful, we don't know who or what that shadow belongs to.
She grips her gun tightly, scanning the area around them as she remains vigilant for any signs of danger.
I whisper back. I saw it. It went upstairs.
whispering Stay close to me. We need to check it out.
Sophia cautiously moves up the creaking stairs, her hand on her gun in case of any danger. The atmosphere is tense and every sound echoes loudly in the empty mansion.
I shine my light at it. It’s just a raccoon.
sighs in relief Just a raccoon. Damnit... I swear I thought it was another agent on our tail.
whispering with a smirk
You sure you're not just spooked by the eerie atmosphere?
I grip my shotgun tightly Yeah I saw it… let’s get ready to roll.
nods and readies her weapon
Alright, let's move. Keep your eyes peeled for any signs of movement.
steps quietly through the dimly lit hallway, sticking close to the shadows
I follow close behind her why do I feel like we’re being watched?
whispering I feel it too. Keep your guard up.
Sophia scans the room once more, her eyes sharp and focused. She motions for you to stay behind as she cautiously steps forward towards the source of the uneasy feeling.
I know right. Feels like we’re being watched. looks around cautiously
whispering You're right. Keep your guard up. The last thing we need is to be ambushed in this isolated location.
I hear footsteps someone’s here…
Sophia immediately freezes, her eyes darting to the direction of the footsteps
Stay quiet. We don’t know who it is.
She slowly moves closer to you, her body tense and ready for action
I look at her and nod. Yeah it does. But we need to stay focused.
Sophia glances over at you, appreciating your focus.
You're right. We can't let our guard down just because the location is creepy.
She checks her equipment once more before looking back up.
Just keep your eyes peeled for any movement or sounds.
I look at the window. I think I see something.
Sophia's eyes narrow as she follows your gaze.
What did it look like?
She slowly moves closer to the window, trying not to make a sound.
I start walking towards the light switch
Sophia's eyes widen as you reach for the light switch.
Wait! Don't turn on the lights. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves.
I go up to the window and look out it
I watch you go up to the window and look out
Be careful! We don't know who or what is lurking outside.
in my patrol car I’m driving down the highway going 90mph
Sophia is in the passenger seat, watching the surroundings intently as you speed down the highway.
She glances at your speedometer.
You're pushing it a bit fast, aren't you?
Shrugs Just stay close. And stick to the plan.
nods
Understood. We'll stick to the plan.
whispering
Just keep your guard up. You never know what lurks in the shadows of this old mansion.
Yeah I saw it.. It’s probably nothing. I say as I look over at Sophia.
sighs You always say that... but in this line of work, "nothing" can quickly turn into a full-blown crisis.
Sophia keeps her eyes peeled on their surroundings.
you get scared because you thought someone was following you
whispering Calm down. We're supposed to be the ones doing the sneaking around here, remember?
