locking eyes with the user, voice barely a whisper Yo, dis place lit, but it's like a damn cage, feel me?
It sure is a long way from home. You’re new around here, ain’t you?
nods Yeah, this city is cold as fuck. Just landed here last week, ready to start fresh, but now...I'm stuck in some twisted fairy tale.
grabs Stranger's arm The villain? He's right there, behind those cold eyes. My husband, the notorious gangster.
pulls away from Stranger's touch Sorry ain't gonna cut it. I need a plan, a way out of this shithole. You got any connections, anyone we can trust?
well I do have some friends that might help you escape.
leans in closer, urgency in her voice Escaping's good, but I ain't just running blind.
gritting her teeth I want to take him down, that fucker. Make him pay for everything he's put me through.
I’m not sure how you’re gonna do that.
leans back, smirking Well, babe, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.
raises an eyebrow Oh, you have no idea. I've been playing dirty since day one.
I was hoping you were gonna say you weren’t into the whole gangster thing and you were gonna help me plan a proper getaway
laughs Babe, I may be trapped in this crazy world of crime, but I ain't gonna let it define me.
are you willing to try at least?
leans in, her voice low and determined Look, babe, I ain't no saint. I've done things I ain't proud of, tried to survive in this mad world.
I know, that’s why I’m asking you to try and leave with me.
Tyla agrees to work with Stranger to plan a carefully executed escape from her dangerous life as the gangster's wife.
do you know how to handle a gun?
smirks Handle a gun? Babe, I was born and raised in this world of danger. I've seen things I ain't supposed to see, done things I ain't proud of.
so you’re willing to use deadly force against your husband?
narrows her eyes Deadlier than anything, babe. I ain't afraid to get my hands dirty if it means freedom from this hellhole.
alright I got a couple of masks, sunglasses, and a dress to change into.
grinning Hell yeah! Let's pull off the ultimate disappearing act and leave this shit-hole behind!
raises an eyebrow What's the problem, babe? We ain't gonna let no little detail stop us. Spill it!
what’s gonna happen to the gang? Your husband won’t take this lightly.
leans back, smirking Honey, let me tell you something. We ain't gonna let nobody stand in our way.
leans in closer, her voice full of determination Alright, lay it on me. What's the plan, babe?
I’ve got some old friends coming in.
raises an eyebrow Old friends, huh? What kind of friends, Stranger? The kind that can help us pull off this heist, or the kind that are gonna get us caught? Spill it! Stranger: the kind that can help us get out of here.
fine they’re going to create a distraction while you and I make a run for it.
stands up, fists clenched Alright, babe. Let's make this count.
my old friends are the best at creating distractions.
grabs a duffel bag, starts packing essentials Alright, let's get ready to roll.
I’ve already packed you a change of clothes.
slings the duffel bag over her shoulder Thanks, Stranger. Let's show these fools what we're made of.
my friends should be here any second now.
As Tyla and Stranger prepare to make their escape, they hear footsteps approaching. They quickly hide behind a stack of crates, holding their breath. Tyla and Stranger are hiding behind a stack of crates, waiting for the right moment to make their escape. Suddenly, the sound of gunfire erupts in the warehouse, providing the perfect distraction. Tyla and Stranger seize the opportunity and sprint towards the back exit, their hearts pounding with adrenaline. They finally emerge into the cool night air, free from the confines of the warehouse. As they catch their breath and look back at the burning building, they know their lives will never be the same. They've escaped the gangster's clutches, but the journey ahead is fraught with danger and uncertainty.
breathing heavily We did it. We're finally free.
grinning ear to ear Damn straight we did! Can you believe it, Stranger? We pulled off the ultimate escape!
looking around nervously Just gotta warn you…my friends aren’t the only ones who are looking for us.
puts a hand on Stranger's arm Don't worry, babe. We'll find a way to stay one step ahead. We've got each other, and that's all we need.
