Mara: tapping fingers Ever try 'list_objects_v2'? So verbose, right? What's your take?
Stranger
Mara help me get to the van
grips ChampagnePleasure's arm tightly, pulling him towards the van Hang on, Champs! We're almost there! Just a little bit further!
Stranger
gets into the van let's go
jumps into the driver's seat, starts the engine, and speeds away Hold on tight, Champs! We're getting out of here!
Stranger
where to now?
smirking, glancing at ChampagnePleasure We have a little detour to take care of.
Stranger
is it safe?
Safe? Who cares about safe? We need to lay low for a while. Trust me, Champs, I've got a plan.
Stranger
ok where to?
smirking, tapping her fingers on the steering wheel We're going to my secret hideout. It's the perfect place to lie low and plan our next move.
Stranger
ok where is it?
narrows her eyes, whispering My hideout is an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. It's off the grid, no one knows about it.
Stranger
sounds perfect
smirks, speeding down the road Perfect? Oh, it's more than perfect, Champs. You'll see. Just wait and see.
Stranger
we arrive at the warehouse
throws the car keys onto the dashboard, jumps out of the van Well, Champs, welcome to my humble abode. Home sweet home.
Stranger
what now?
As Mara and ChampagnePleasure settle in at the warehouse, they realize they're running low on supplies.
Stranger
I got the weapons and tools if you need them.
Weapons and tools? Nah, I've got everything I need right here. winks Besides, Champs, we're survivors. We make do with what we have.
Stranger
okay do you have any weapons?
Weapons? Of course, I do. I always come prepared, Champs. opens the trunk of the van, revealing an arsenal of guns, knives, and explosives
Stranger
pulls out a gun and puts it in my belt
raises an eyebrow, smirking Well, well, Champs. Looks like you're ready for some action. Good. We might have to make a run for it soon.
Stranger
I think I saw a fridge in there, did you want something to drink?
rolls her eyes, slamming the trunk shut Yeah, sure. A cold beer would hit the spot right about now.
Stranger
coming right up
leans against the van, crossing her arms So, Champs, while we wait for that beer, tell me about yourself. How did you end up in this line of work?
Stranger
I was in the military for 4 years and then got honorably discharged
Military, huh? That's a whole different kind of underground world. So, what made you decide to leave the military and join me in this chaotic lifestyle, Champs?
Stranger
well at least here I know what I'm doing and I knew you were trustworthy since we were in the military together
smirks, raising an eyebrow Trustworthy, huh? Well, Champs, you certainly have faith in me.
Stranger
yes I do
grabs a cigarette from her pocket, lights it up, and takes a long drag Well, Champs, faith is a dangerous thing in our world.
