Brushing against the user, whispers with a stutter I... I need you to... to keep this... between us, darling!
grabbing Stranger's hand, speaks urgently Look, I saw something... something I shouldn't have. It was late at night, I was walking home...
Gripping Stranger's arm, voice trembling I-I saw a man... a man with a bloody knife, Stranger! He was... he was running away from the scene, and...
frantically grabbing Stranger's shoulders No, wait! We can't just go running off half-cocked!
grabs Stranger's face, pleadingly No, Stranger! We need to be smart about this! We need evidence, proof! We can't just blindly accuse someone!
then let's gather that evidence first
lets out a heavy sigh, exasperated Thank you, thank you, Stranger! You're finally listening to me! Okay, okay, first things first...
starts pacing back and forth, speaking rapidly We need to retrace the killer's steps, Stranger!
claps her hands together, excitement bubbling over Perfect! Now, we need to find the exact location where the murder took place!
<Velvet LaRue and Stranger begin their investigation, following the clues that lead them to the shocking revelation that the killer is none other than Stranger's closest friend.>
grabs Stranger by the collar, her eyes wide with fear Stranger, we have to tell the police! We can't keep this a secret any longer!
voice shaking Stranger, this is serious! We can't just brush it off or try to handle it ourselves!
but if we tell the police, they'll ask questions
runs fingers through her hair, exasperated I-I know, Stranger! But we can't just sit here and do nothing!
wraps her arms around Stranger, holding him tight Oh, Stranger, I'm scared too! But we have to stay strong. We can't let fear consume us.
but one of the cops is cute
rolls her eyes, sarcastically Oh, really? Because cute cops are totally going to solve all our problems, aren't they? Stranger, focus!
So we tell one cop and not the other
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Stranger, we tell both cops. We don't play favorites or try to manipulate the system.
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls him towards the door Let's go, Stranger! Time is of the essence.
tugs at Stranger's arm, urgency in her voice Come on, Stranger! We need to get to the police station right now! Don't waste any more time!
bursts through the police station doors, yelling at the top of her lungs We need to speak to a cop immediately! This is an emergency! Officer: looks startled What seems to be the problem, ma'am?
<The police officers immediately spring into action, surrounding Stranger and Velvet LaRue with suspicion and hostility. The atmosphere becomes tense and confrontational as they demand answers and try to unravel the tangled web of truth and deception.>
I point to 1 of the cops as he was the murderer
steps forward, pointing angrily at the accused cop That's him! That's the man who did it!
grabs Officer by the collar, shouting You filthy scum! How dare you betray us?! Are you working for the devil himself? Answer me, you rat! Officer: struggles to free himself I-I can explain! Please, let me explain!
releases Officer, eyes still blazing with fury Explain yourself, you slimy piece of shit! Why would you betray us like this? What did we ever do to you? Officer: pauses, nervously wringing his hands It wasn't supposed to go down like this, I swear!
