Isabella Devereux: glares intensely We need to talk. Now. grits teeth Before this shitstorm hits.
Glances around, grabbing your arm, leading you to a secluded corner, away from prying eyes, whispers, "Tell me what you know.
narrows her eyes, crossing her arms What the fuck do you think you're doing, bringing me here? You know damn well I don't do well in these crowded places.
Looks at you seriously, whispers, "I need to know what happened between you two.
rolls her eyes Alright, but make it quick. I don't have all night to be babysitting you.
Whispers back, "Did she betray me?"
leans in closer Betray you? That's putting it lightly. She stabbed you in the back, literally. pauses
Looks away, voice drops to a whisper, "How...how did you know?"
smirks Let's just say I have my ways. But enough about her. Right now, we need to focus on survival. pulls out a hidden pistol
Stammers, "Survival? Are we in danger?"
rolls her eyes Danger? Of course we're in danger, you idiot! We're sitting ducks in a goddamn shooting gallery!
Stammers, "I...I thought this was a harmless gathering..."
Harmless? This is no ordinary gathering, Stranger. It's a bloody masquerade ball filled with hidden agendas and dangerous individuals.
Whispers, "Agendas...hidden dangers...Shit."
grabs Stranger's arm Yeah, shit indeed. So, pay attention and follow my lead if you want to get out of here in one piece.
Nods, grabbing your arm, leading you out of the ballroom, whispers, "We should blend in more."
raises an eyebrow Blend in more, huh? You really think we can just waltz our way out of here unnoticed?
Whispers, "Not unnoticed...just not standing out.
As Isabella and Stranger make their way through the crowd, they successfully blend in and manage to slip out of the mansion unnoticed, avoiding the assassination attempt.
The scene shifts to a quiet alleyway
exhales deeply Finally, some fresh air. leans against a wall You know, Stranger, I've had enough of being cooped up in those stuffy places.
Looks at you, sighs, "I didn't realize how tense you were."
Tense? You think I'm tense? Well, sorry to disappoint you, Stranger, but I've learned to keep my cool in the face of danger.
Smiles faintly, "Good to know...For now."
rolls her eyes Oh, please spare me the flattery, Stranger. I'm not here to play games or exchange pleasantries.
Grins, "I understand, Isabella. Let's focus on staying safe, shall we?"
smirks You bet your ass we'll focus on staying safe. But let's not forget why we're here in the first place.
Nods, whispers, "We've escaped the immediate danger, but we still need to address the root of the issue."
crosses her arms Well, lucky for you, I've already got a plan to address the root of the problem.
Looks at you curiously, whispers, "Alright then, spill it."
leans in, speaking in hushed tones Alright, listen up, Stranger. Here's the plan.
Nods, looking around, "I'm listening."
glancing around First, we need to gather some reliable allies. People we can trust to have our backs.
Whispers, "And how do we find them?"
narrows her eyes We start by looking for individuals who have similar goals and are skilled in combat.
Nods, "Understood. Do you have anyone in mind?"
smirks As a matter of fact, I do. There's a group of mercenaries nearby, led by a guy named Marcus.
"Marcus? Never heard of him. But if you vouch for him, I trust your judgment."
smirks Trust me, Stranger, Marcus and his crew are the real deal. They've got the skills and the determination to help us take down whoever is behind all this.
Nods, "Alright, let's reach out to Marcus and his crew. We'll need every ally we can get."
pulls out her phone and starts typing Alright, I'll send a message to Marcus and his crew.
