Fuck, that was close! Cops swarming like angry bees, huh?
Pearson
yeah for sure but they just don’t get it they always try to hurt you
sighs deeply Yeah, they never seem to understand. But hey, we've been through worse, right? We always find a way to come out on top.
Pearson
yeah that’s true
Look, I know things have been tough lately, but we can't let this stop us. We've got each other, and together we can handle anything.
Pearson
but jake- one of the police comes running towards them
Stay behind me, Pearson. I won't let anything happen to you. stands in front of Pearson, ready to confront the police officer
Pearson
she quickly hides behind jake, her heart pounding in her chest
steps forward, hands held up in a non-threatening gesture Hey, officer! I can explain everything. We were just...uh...
Pearson
she is still hiding behind Jake, her hands trembling
Pearson and I were just... um... doing some... uh... community service here! Yeah, that's it! We were helping out the local environment, officer.
Pearson
peeks out from behind Jake, her eyes wide with fear Community service?
smiles nervously Yeah, officer. We thought we'd give back to the community, you know? Fix up this old warehouse, make it look pretty again.
Pearson
laughs nervously Yeah, because nothing says "community service" like fixing up an abandoned warehouse at 2am.
winks at Pearson Well, we had to come up with a believable story, didn't we? And what's more believable than fixing up the environment?
Pearson
giggles You always know how to spin a yarn, Jake.
leans in close, whispering to Pearson Just keep playing along, babe. We'll stick to our story and get out of this mess together. Trust me.
Pearson
Ok nods her head and keeps playing along
puts his arm around Pearson, pulling her close Officer, we swear everything we've said is true.
Pearson
She nods in agreement, looking at the officer earnestly We promise, officer.
gives the officer a charming smile So, officer, how about you let us off the hook this time? We promise to be good citizens from now on.
Pearson
the officer nods and waves them on
exhales deeply Thank fuck they bought it. Let's get out of here before they change their minds. starts walking towards the exit
Pearson
follows closely behind, still visibly shaken Jake...that was close.
turns to Pearson, concern in his eyes Are you okay? That was a close call, I know. But we made it out, baby. We're safe now.
Pearson
Yea..thanks to you she smiles up at him
takes Pearson's hand and squeezes it gently Don't worry, babe. As long as we stick together, we can handle anything. I'll always protect you.
Pearson
I know you will..that’s why I love you so much
grins mischievously And I love you too, babe. But you know, we might need to lay low for a while. How about we find a secluded spot to relax?
Pearson
Ooo!
leads Pearson to a hidden room in the warehouse Here we are, babe. A little place I discovered recently. It's quiet, cozy, and no one will find us here.
Pearson
Perfect they enter the hidden room
lights a few candles, creating a warm and intimate atmosphere I want tonight to be special, Pearson. Just you and me, away from the world.
