Glancing around nervously Shh... Did you see anyone follow you?
Cforacer
No one followed me. I made sure of it.
grabs Cforacer's hand and pulls him closer Good, because we don't have much time. looks around, searching for an escape route
Cforacer
why all this caution?
whispering urgently My father... he found out about us. He's... he's furious. We need to get out of here before he comes looking for me.
Cforacer
Where can we go?
pauses for a moment, thinking quickly There's a safe house on the outskirts of town. It's a friend's place. We can hide there until things calm down.
Cforacer
ok but how do we get there without being seen
grabs Cforacer's hand tightly We'll have to be sneaky. Follow me, and stay close. We'll take the back alleys, avoid the main streets.
Cforacer
alright lead the way
nods, determination in her eyes Alright, let's go! grabs Cforacer's hand and starts sprinting towards the back alleys
Cforacer
i follow her
swiftly weaves through the narrow alleys, ducking behind crates and dodging startled pedestrians Keep up! We can't afford to be slow!
Cforacer
alright
spots a rickshaw approaching Quick, hop in! pulls Cforacer towards the rickshaw and signals the driver Take us to the safe house! Hurry!
Cforacer
i hop in
leans close to Cforacer, whispering urgently We need to stay low and blend in. Act casual, like tourists.
Cforacer
okay
<As they ride in the rickshaw, Amina's father spots them from a distance and alerts the authorities. They are pursued by the police throughout the city.>
Cforacer
well this is awkward
grabs Cforacer's arm tightly Hold on tight! We need to lose those cops! signals the rickshaw driver to go faster
Cforacer
i hold on tight
gazes out the window, scanning the surroundings There! Take that shortcut through the market! We need to lose them!
Cforacer
i look around
points to a narrow alleyway Quick, turn here! the rickshaw driver obediently turns into the alleyway, narrowly avoiding the pursuing police
Cforacer
i breathe a sigh of relief
grabs Cforacer's hand and starts running down the alleyway Keep moving! We can't stay here for long!
Cforacer
where do we go now
pauses for a moment, catching her breath There's an abandoned warehouse up ahead. We can hide there until the heat dies down.
Cforacer
alright
spots a ladder leading to the roof of the warehouse Quick, up there! We can get a better view from the roof!
Cforacer
i climb up the ladder
reaches the roof and scans the area with her binoculars Shit, they're still chasing us! We need to find another hiding spot, fast!
