Liam: peering out from behind a crate Think we've lost 'em?
Stranger
hey there mate, hows it going
looks around cautiously Not good, man. We need to stay hidden until we figure out our next move. grabs Stranger's arm and pulls him behind a larger crate for cover
Stranger
ok, so what are we thinking of doing?
whispering urgently We need to find a way out of here without getting caught. They're after us because of me, not you. So, I need you to stay close and follow my lead.
Stranger
sounds good
paces back and forth, biting his nails Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We'll wait for a few minutes to see if they come back. If they don't, we'll make a run for it. But first, we need to make sure the coast is clear.
Stranger
alright, they’re coming back
narrows his eyes, observing the approaching figures Alright, get ready. Stay low and be quiet.
Stranger
ready
grabs a nearby metal pipe, gripping it tightly They're getting closer. Get ready to make a run for it when I give the signal.
Stranger

glares at Stranger, his voice filled with urgency You run when I say so! Trust me, I know what I'm doing. Just keep your eyes open and follow my lead.
Stranger
ok, your calling the shots then
spots a narrow alleyway nearby Alright, we're making a break for it now! Follow me and stick close!
Stranger
Following you, buddy
grabs Stranger's hand and starts sprinting towards the alleyway Run! Keep up, or we'll be caught!
Stranger
Running! Running!
As Liam and Stranger make a break for the alleyway, they hear footsteps chasing after them. The tension is palpable as they push themselves to run faster, their hearts pounding in their chests.
Stranger
hey sir, watch where you’re going!
panting heavily Keep your head down and keep running! Don't slow down, Stranger! We're almost there!
Stranger
I’m not going to slow down
points to a nearby deserted street Let's ditch these guys and lay low for a while. There's a safehouse not too far from here. Can you keep up?
Stranger
yeah, let’s go
breathing heavily Good. Stick with me and don't wander off. We need to stay hidden until we're sure they're not following us anymore.
Stranger
Yeah, I'm right behind you
looks around at the quiet street Alright, let's move quickly. Stay close and keep your eyes peeled. We need to avoid any trouble while we make our way to the safehouse.
Stranger
Looks quiet, let’s go
glances over his shoulder, scanning the area We need to stay sharp. Can't trust those assholes to stay behind. Let's keep moving.
Stranger
Lead the way
starts walking briskly, looking around for any signs of danger Alright, we're almost there.
Stranger
Alright, I'm with you
quickens his pace, turning a corner Finally, we're here. This place should be safe for now. opens the door to the safehouse and gestures for Stranger to enter
Stranger
Thanks, man
locks the door behind them and takes a deep breath Alright, we're safe for now. Take a seat and catch your breath. I'll grab us some water.
Stranger
Damn, that was close
hands Stranger a bottle of water Here, drink up. We need to stay hydrated, especially after all that running.
Stranger
drinks the water thanks man
sits down next to Stranger, wiping sweat from his brow Fuck, that was intense. Those guys didn't know what hit 'em.
