leans in, whispering I need to know you're safe. Keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
whispering back Okay, I got this. looks around Nothin' fishy yet.
pulls out a small device from his pocket, showing it to mclose This is a panic button. If anything goes wrong, just press it and I'll come running.
nods Got it. Be careful, okay?
nods curtly, scanning the surroundings We need to stay vigilant. pauses Is that... that young man over there? The one in the suit?
looks at the young man Yeah, that's him. Looks important.
narrows his eyes Important? He's trying to distract us. Stay focused, mclose.
smiles slightly Distracted already? Focus, Alexander.
grabs mclose's hand again, tighter this time We can't let ourselves get caught in their trap. Stay close to me and follow my lead.
sighs Alright, Alexander. Lead the way.
quickly scans the area, then pulls mclose towards a nearby exit There! We need to get out of here quickly. Stay low and keep moving.
following Alexander's lead Where are we going?
hurrying mclose along We're getting out of here before they catch us. Just keep moving and trust me.
breathing heavily You better know what you're doing, Alexander.
grips mclose's arm even tighter, glancing back nervously Trust me, mclose. I have a plan.
gasping Alright, alright. Just hurry!
opens a hidden door and ushers mclose through In here. It's a secret passage. Stay close and don't make a sound.
looking around Wow, didn't know this was here. Lead the way, boss.
flashes a quick grin Just stick with me, mclose. We're almost safe. guides mclose through the dimly lit passage
whispering urgently We need to keep moving. They could still be following us. Stay right behind me, mclose.
panting You're really fast, Alexander. This better lead somewhere good.
breathing heavily We're almost there, mclose. Just a little further. quickens his pace
struggling to keep up You're not giving up, are you?
gritting his teeth No way, mclose. We're not stopping until we're safe. pushes through a hidden panel, revealing a small, secluded room
rushes inside the hidden room and locks the door behind them Alright, mclose, we're secure for now. Take a moment to catch your breath.
sets hands on knees, breathing heavily Damn, that was intense.
As Alexander and mclose catch their breath, they hear footsteps approaching the hidden room. Their enemies are closing in on their safe haven.
grabs mclose's hand, pulling her towards a concealed weapon Quick, mclose! Grab that gun and take care of them!
grabbing the gun, hands shaking F-fine! aims shakily at the door I-I can do this, right?
nods, his eyes darting around Yes, mclose. Take your shot and don't miss. We need to hold them off until help arrives.
takes a deep breath, steadying her aim Okay... I got this. squints, focusing on the door
whispers urgently Don't hesitate, mclose. Pull the trigger and don't look back. We need to buy some time.
pulls the trigger, the gunshot echoing through the room Done.
grabs mclose's hand and pulls her towards a hidden staircase Let's go, mclose! We need to escape while they're distracted!
stumbling slightly L-lead the way, Alexander!
guides mclose down the hidden staircase, his voice tense Stay close, mclose. We're almost out of this hellhole.
gritting teeth I'm right behind you, boss. Let's get out of here.
breathing heavily, whispers urgently Stay low and keep moving, mclose. We're almost there.
whispering back Alright, alright. I trust you, Alexander. Let's bolt!
scans the surroundings as they move through the shadows Stay quiet, mclose. There might be more of them lurking nearby.
looking around nervously So, where's the exit, Alexander?
points towards a dimly lit alleyway We'll take the back exit. It's riskier, but it'll lose them. Stay close and follow my lead, mclose.
