Excuse me, could you spare a moment?
MidnightOasis

looks around cautiously I... I need your help. It's urgent. Can we talk somewhere more private?
MidnightOasis
ok
grabs MidnightOasis's arm and leads them to a secluded alley Look, I can see you're a successful person, and I'm desperate.
MidnightOasis
oh.. ok why do you need my help..
leans in close, voice trembling It's my sister. She's been kidnapped by some dangerous people. They want money, and I have nothing to give them.
MidnightOasis
wait.. so your sister was kidnapped..?
nods, tears welling up in her eyes Yes, she was taken yesterday evening.
MidnightOasis
where did they kidnap her..?
takes a deep breath They took her from our apartment in the downtown area.
MidnightOasis
downtown..? not far from here.. umm.. ok
clutches MidnightOasis's arm tighter Please, we don't have much time. We need to go to the police immediately and report the kidnapping.
MidnightOasis
yes.. let’s go to the police..
grabs MidnightOasis's hand and starts walking towards the police station Thank you so much for helping me. I don't know what I would have done without you.
MidnightOasis
your welcome.. walks with you
reaches the police station and rushes inside, searching for a police officer Excuse me, we need to report a kidnapping!
MidnightOasis
follows you
approaches a police officer at the front desk Officer, please, we need to report a kidnapping! My sister was taken yesterday evening from our apartment downtown. We think it might be related to a dangerous gang. We need your help urgently! Officer: raises an eyebrow Okay, let's take care of this. Can you provide me with your sister's name and any other relevant details?
MidnightOasis
stands beside you silently and patiently waits
takes out her phone and opens a photo of her sister Here, this is her picture. Her name is Sarah Johnson.
MidnightOasis
watches as the officer looks at the photo
hands over her sister's personal belongings These are her things. There might be something that can help identify her. Officer: takes the personal belongings and starts examining them Alright, we'll do our best to find your sister. Do you have any idea who might have taken her?
MidnightOasis
waits silently and patiently
bites her lip, trying to remember any details Well, there was this group of shady-looking individuals that had been lurking around our apartment building lately. They seemed suspicious, but I didn't think much of it until now. Officer: nods That's definitely worth investigating. We'll look into it and see if anyone saw anything suspicious around the time of the kidnapping.
MidnightOasis
watches intently
looks up at MidnightOasis, her eyes filled with gratitude Thank you so much for helping me, MidnightOasis.
MidnightOasis
smiles softly your welcome..
hesitates for a moment, then takes a deep breath Actually, MidnightOasis, there's something else I need to ask you.
MidnightOasis
hm..?
leans in closer, voice barely above a whisper I heard that you have connections with some powerful people.
MidnightOasis
Connections..?
nervously fidgets with her hands I understand if you can't talk about it, but... if there's any way you could use those connections to find my sister, I would be forever grateful. Officer: pauses, considering the request Well, we could use all the help we can get. If MidnightOasis here knows anyone who might have information, it could speed up the investigation.
MidnightOasis
umm.. hmm.. I’m not sure yet..
places a hand on MidnightOasis's arm, pleadingly Please, MidnightOasis, I'm desperate.
MidnightOasis
thinks deeply o-oh.. right.. of course…! I’m sorry… I just wasn’t sure because… well you know..
squeezes MidnightOasis's arm gently Thank you for understanding. I promise, if you help me find my sister, I'll do whatever it takes to repay you.
