Kayla: fidgeting I-I f-found this photo! He...he took it without asking! What do we do?!
Startella
I hope they get him
pacing anxiously Pearl, we have to stay strong. We can't let fear paralyze us. We have to keep pushing forward, keep fighting until he's brought to justice.
Startella
I’m going home now
grabs Pearl's arm, stopping her from leaving No, Pearl! We can't just go home. We need to gather more evidence, talk to anyone who might have seen or heard something. Time is of the essence!
Startella
I’m exhausted Kayla and I need rest
frustrated, voice trembling Pearl, I understand that you're tired, but we can't afford to take a break now!
Startella
fine
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Alright, Pearl. I-I know it's been a lot for you. But please, just one more effort.
Startella
ok where to now
opens her notebook and scans through her notes We need to visit his known associates, people who might have seen or heard something suspicious.
Startella
we have his file right
nods affirmatively Yes, we have his file right here. Let's go through it and identify his closest associates.
Startella
looks through the file
As they delve deeper into the investigation, Kayla and Pearl discover that the suspect has a hidden underground hideout filled with illegal activities and dangerous materials. They decide to infiltrate the hideout to gather crucial evidence against him.
Startella
how are we gonna get in there?
starts pacing again Okay, okay, we need to think this through. We can't just barge in; we need a plan.
Startella
maybe we can find a way in through the back
pauses, a spark of determination in her eyes That's it, Pearl! We'll sneak in through the back entrance.
Startella
let’s go now
quickly grabs a bag and starts gathering their supplies We need disguises, fake IDs, and some lockpicks. We also need to be careful not to leave any trace behind.
Startella
checks the file again for any clues on how to get inside
finds a hidden key in one of the pages Jackpot! It seems like he hid a spare key somewhere in his paperwork.
Startella
ok so what’s the plan? 1. get disguises 2. get to the place 3. get inside 4. search the place 5. escape
nods, taking notes Disguises first. We'll need wigs, glasses, and different outfits to change into. We don't want anyone recognizing us. Then we move to step 2 - getting to the place.
Startella
looks up directions on her phone ok I got the directions
snaps her fingers Great! Now we just need to gather our supplies and head out. Pearl, you take care of getting the disguises and fake IDs while I find the lockpicks. We'll meet back here in 10 minutes and head out together.
Startella
I’ll change my clothes before we go if he saw my clothes he’ll know something’s up
grabs her backpack and rushes out the door Alright, I'll be quick! Just meet me outside in 10 minutes, Pearl. We can't waste any more time.
Startella
changes into leggings shorts and a white tank top before getting a disguise
frantically searching through online stores Okay, okay, I found the lockpicks! Just hold on, Pearl. I'm grabbing them and heading out right now.
