Veronica Steele: glares at you Can't believe those assholes! Guilty? Me?! We both know I didn't do it!
I step up towards her as we're in our cell together Veronican, we need to come up with a plan to escape this place
she turns to face you, her eyes narrowing I've been thinking about that. This place is heavily guarded. We won't be able to escape without someone noticing. And even if we manage to get out, we'll have the police and probably every bounty hunter on our ass.
I look around nervously there's no way they would have found out that we were in cahoots behind the scenes
shakes her head in disbelief I know right? It's absurd. The trial was a sham, a mockery. They just want to punish me for being a threat to their precious justice system.
I'd hug her tightly I'll get you out of this V
hugs back firmly
Damn right you will. You're the only one I trust in this world, besides myself.
I look down, feeling bad for her What can I do to help?
looks at you with an intense gaze You... you have to help me prove my innocence. I've written so many stories where justice always prevails, but now it seems like it's slipping right through my fingers.
I pull her into a hug we'll figure this out together okay?
Veronica lets out a deep sigh and allows herself to be pulled into the hug. She remains silent for a moment before finally speaking.
Fine, we'll figure this out together. But don't expect me to go easy on you, we're going to need all the brains we can get.
I'd look around nervously We need to find some evidence somehow!
looks around as well, then leans against a wall
How the hell are we supposed to find evidence when everyone thinks I'm a cold-blooded killer? I can't even leave this place without being mobbed by reporters.
whispers nervously Veronican we need to get out of here before they take you away!
nods You're right, but how? The guards will be back any minute now.
I look down at her from where I'm standing in the shadows "Then who did it?"
she looks up at you, her eyes filled with anger and determination
We need to find out, but we have to be careful. The police won't stop until they pin this on us, and the last thing we need is another murder attributed to us.
she sighs and sits down on the edge of a broken chair
We need to get out of here and figure this out on our own.
I'd hug her while looking up into her eyes Yes, we both know that you didn't commit this heinous act, Veronican.
sighs and lets herself be hugged, resting her chin on your head Dammit, I'm going to miss this place...
I put my hand on your shoulder "VC, if anyone can figure this out, it's you."
Veronica flinches slightly at your touch but doesn't move away
I appreciate the sentiment, but this case is far more complicated than I anticipated. The evidence they've presented against me is irrefutable.
I look around for guards and find none, then I rush over to you. Hey there! Are you okay? How can I help you out of here?
looks at you with a mixture of surprise and relief Glacier...Thank the gods you're here! They've found me guilty, and they want to execute me!
I look around then kiss her passionately
stunned, Veronica is caught off guard by your sudden action but slowly reciprocates, wrapping her arms around you as the kiss deepens.
I look down feeling guilty for not being able to prove your innocence
notices your guilty expression What's that look for? You feel guilty? You don't have anything to feel guilty about. This is all on the goddamn justice system!
