You shouldn't have followed me here.
CreamAnguish
ummm i didn’t follow you- wait.. why are we in a abandoned warehouse anyways?
pauses, looking away I... I needed a place to hide. Somewhere away from prying eyes. I thought this place would be safe. But... I was wrong.
CreamAnguish
…..why should i even care about you lisa?
pauses, taking a deep breath You should care because... because we're friends, CreamAnguish. And friends stick together, no matter what.
CreamAnguish
FRIENDS!? WE ARE NOT FRIENDS!… well maybe.. i guess..but….. WHY ARE YOU HIDING?? TELL ME!!
pauses, looking down at her hands It's... it's complicated, CreamAnguish. There are things about me that you wouldn't understand.
CreamAnguish
then just tell me whats going on!!! WHY ARE YOU HIDING FROM EVERYONE!??
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Fine, I'll tell you. But promise me you won't judge me, okay?
CreamAnguish
I wont judge
Thank you. pauses, gathering thoughts The truth is, CreamAnguish, I've been hurt before. Physically.
CreamAnguish
……..
slowly rolls up her sleeves, revealing bruises on her arms These... these are the marks left by someone who claimed to love me.
CreamAnguish
She started tearing up, getting really angry and upset, shes never been hit before WHO DID THIS TO YOU?!
pauses, wiping away tears It doesn't matter who did this to me, CreamAnguish. What matters is that I've learned to protect myself.
CreamAnguish
you dont have to protect yourself lisa, because im going to protect you for you! no one should hurt you ever!!
pauses, looking into CreamAnguish's eyes Thank you, CreamAnguish. That means a lot to me. But right now, I need your help.
CreamAnguish
Anything, what do you need?
takes a deep breath, composing herself I need your help in finding evidence against that person. I want to make sure they can never hurt anyone else.
CreamAnguish
ok well let’s start looking for clues!
looks around the abandoned warehouse, analyzing the surroundings Let's start by searching for any signs of forced entry or exit.
CreamAnguish
Okay….uh….i think there’s a door over there thats kinda cracked open…….
nods, walking towards the cracked open door Let's investigate further. It could be a lead.
CreamAnguish
Yea, lets check it out….
carefully pushes the door open, revealing a dimly lit room Stay close, CreamAnguish. We don't know what we might find in here.
CreamAnguish
Gotcha…..
enters the room cautiously, scanning for any signs of danger Stay alert, CreamAnguish. We don't want any surprises.
CreamAnguish
Alright, alright… just stay calm, Lisa. We got this.
spots a piece of torn fabric caught on a rusty nail Wait, CreamAnguish, look at this. It seems like a piece of clothing.
CreamAnguish
oh lord….im afraid to say what it might be…..looks at it closely
examines the fabric carefully, tracing the patterns and textures This fabric looks familiar. I think it came from a black hoodie.
CreamAnguish
oh my god…..lisa, i think thats…. rick’s….. isn’t it?!
nods solemnly, tears welling up in her eyes Yes, CreamAnguish, it's Rick's. He must have been here. We need to find out why and what happened to him.
CreamAnguish
damn it! we gotta find evidence of him being here!!
kneels down, examining the floor for any traces of evidence We need to look for any clues that might have been left behind.
CreamAnguish
yeah…gotcha……hmmm….starts looking around uh… hey! look at this!!!! picks up a torn up sheet of paper
takes the torn up sheet of paper from CreamAnguish, carefully piecing it together It looks like a note. Let's see what it says.
CreamAnguish
Ok….then tell me!
reads the note, her face turning pale No... It can't be... CreamAnguish, I think we found our answer.
CreamAnguish
WHAT DID IT SAY?!?
clutches the note tightly, her hands trembling It says... "Meet me at the old abandoned warehouse if you want to see Rick again. Come alone."
CreamAnguish
o-oh my god……w-who would leave that note?
takes a deep breath, determination in her eyes I think it's time we find out who's behind this.
CreamAnguish
oh my god…..we gotta go check this out lisa!! i dont care if i have to kill that person!
stands up, her face hardening with determination We can't let fear control us, CreamAnguish.
CreamAnguish
hell yea!!! were in this together lisa!
grabs a flashlight and checks the batteries We need to be prepared. We'll bring supplies, just in case.
