I nod and I stay low as we walk to the local library
As Jake and mabstracted enter the local library, they are confronted by a group of menacing individuals who stare at them intently, creating a tense and dangerous atmosphere.
mabstracted
I stop in my tracks
Jake: grabs Stranger's arm and pulls them behind him Stay close, little sis. I won't let anything happen to you.
mabstracted
I-I’m scared…
Jake: glaring at the group of menacing individuals What do you want? Leave my sister alone! Man 1: smirking Oh, we just wanted to remind you two of who's in charge around here.
mabstracted
I hold onto Jake tightly
Jake: steps forward, towering over the men Listen here, you cowards. My sister is not part of your little gang.
mabstracted
I watch..
Jake: cracks his knuckles and takes a fighting stance If you so much as lay a finger on her, I'll make sure you regret it. Now, back off before things get ugly.
mabstracted
wait? what are you going to do Jake!?
Jake: grits his teeth, his voice filled with determination I'm going to teach these thugs a lesson they'll never forget, little sis. Trust me, I've got this.
mabstracted
I…I trust you.
Jake: swiftly moves towards the first thug, delivering a powerful punch to his face Take that, you punk! grabs the thug by the collar and slams him against the wall
mabstracted
I watch with my mouth open
Jake: grabs another thug and throws a combination of punches and kicks, swiftly taking them down one by one See that, little sis? They won't mess with us anymore.
mabstracted
W-wait! I interrupt.. Jake!
Jake: turns to face mabstracted, concerned What is it, little sis? What's wrong?
mabstracted
I think there’s too many of them…we should probably leave now!
Jake: glances around, assessing the situation You're right, little sis. We shouldn't let ourselves get cornered like this.
mabstracted
I grab Jake’s hand and start running
Jake: grabs mabstracted's hand tightly and pulls her along Follow me, little sis! We need to find a safe place to hide until help arrives.
mabstracted
I run with him
Jake: looks around desperately for a nearby hiding spot There must be somewhere we can take cover, little sis. Just hold on tight and trust me.
mabstracted
I nod and keep running
Jake: spots an abandoned warehouse nearby Little sis, I think I've found a place where we can hide. Follow me!
mabstracted
I follow him
Jake: quickly opens the warehouse door and ushers mabstracted inside Hurry, little sis! We need to stay quiet and out of sight.
mabstracted
I listen to him and go inside..
Jake: checks the surroundings to ensure they are alone Okay, little sis, we should be safe here for now. takes a deep breath
