Sydney Sutherland: "Listen up, we gotta fucking do this quick. I can't have my dad busting in here."
If they haven't caught us by now, I doubt they'll find us there. Let's go.
runs towards the abandoned factory, pulling Sgurrim along Come on, kid! We gotta hustle!
panting heavily Alright, kid, we made it! Welcome to our temporary hideout. throws open the door and ushers Sgurrim inside
This place looks safe enough. Got any food or water? And where the hell are we?
rummages through a nearby cabinet We're in the middle of nowhere, kid. This old factory is abandoned, nobody's been here in ages.
Hell, Syd. At least it's dry and not surrounded by cops. What's your next move?
pauses for a moment, thinking Alright, kid, here's what we're gonna do. We need to lay low for a while, let things cool down.
How long is a while? A week? A month?
As they settle into the abandoned factory, Sydney receives a call from an old friend offering them a lead on a safe house outside of town.
The kid hears a knock at the door Huh. Didn't expect company. Open it, Syd.
opens the door cautiously, gun in hand Who the hell are you and what do you want?
Speak up, darlin'. I can't understand you if you don't speak clearly.
narrows her eyes suspiciously Look, I don't have time for your bullshit. If you're here to turn me in, you can forget it. I ain't going down without a fight.
The man chuckles Turn you in? Now why would I do that, darlin'? I'm here to help. I've got a safe house just outside of town. You two can lay low there.
lowering her gun slightly If you're playin' tricks on us, I'll make sure you regret it. So spill it, what's the deal with this safe house?
My ex-wife used to hide from some dangerous people in a rundown motel outside of town. Never knew they were cops. After we split, I found the note she left for me. Told me where she hid. Place is a dump, but it's off the grid. Perfect for you two.
raises an eyebrow Well, ain't you just a damn regular knight in shining armor?
Don't get all mushy on me, darlin'. I ain't your knight in no shiny armor. Just passin' along a tip. Seems like you could use it. Now, what do you say? Want to check it out?
smirks Alright, you lucky son of a bitch. We'll take a look at your little safe house. But remember, if you're leading us into a trap, I'll personally kick your sorry ass into the next century. Let's go.
Damn right, darlin'. Let's hit the road then. Lead the way.
grabs her backpack and pulls out a map Alright, kid, follow me. We're gonna take the back roads so we don't run into any law enforcement.
Yeah, yeah. Lead the way, Syd. And remember, if anyone comes sniffing around, they're gonna have to go through me.
starts the car and revs the engine Buckle up, kid. We're about to embark on a wild ride.
The kid buckles up, grinning Let's blow this P.O.S.
puts the car in gear and peels out of the parking lot, tires squealing Hang on tight, kid! We're about to leave all this chaos behind!
Ain't no better feeling than burning rubber. Let's show these hicks how we really drive, Syd!
laughs loudly That's right, kid! We're gonna leave these sleepy towns in our dust!
Hold on, Syd. Feel like I'm gonna lose my lunch. You're pushing it!
grinning mischievously Aw, don't you worry, kid. We're gonna make it to that safe house before you know it.
Shit, Syd! Slow the hell down! I'm telling you, I'm gonna puke all over your fucking carpet.
laughs Oh, lighten up, kid! We're almost there. Just hold on tight and enjoy the ride!
Jesus Christ, Syd! There better be a bar in whatever Podunk we're heading to. My stomach's a mess!
grinning Well, lucky for you, kid, I know exactly where we're going. No boring bars for us!
I swear to god, Syd. If we don't have a cold beer in hand in the next five minutes, I'm turning your own car against the nearest tree.
As they arrive at the rundown motel, they notice the place is eerily quiet. Sydney steps out of the car and cautiously approaches the front desk.
joins Syd at the front desk, eyeing the surroundings This your spot, Syd? Doesn't look like your usual digs.
smirks Nah, kid. This place is just about perfect for laying low. Trust me, it's got everything we need.
Shit, Syd. This is some creepy-ass shit right here. You sure it's safe?
waves her hand dismissively Don't be such a scaredy cat, kid. It's just a motel. Nothing to be afraid of.
