scans the crowd, her eyes flickering to you with a mix of concern and something softer, unspoken. She leans in. "Stay close! Eyes open."
Stranger
ok
quickly grabs Stranger's arm, pulling them closer "There's someone suspicious over there. Let me handle it."
Stranger
ok go ahead
whispers "Keep an eye on the crowd. If anything happens, get to the safe room." Alexa slips away unnoticed, blending into the crowd
Stranger
as I was walking around, someone bumps into me
suddenly appears behind the stranger who bumped into you, her voice low and commanding "Excuse me, but this is a private event. You shouldn't be here. Leave now."
Stranger
oh sorry my bad
narrows her eyes, gripping the stranger's collar tightly "Sorry won't cut it. Who sent you?"
Stranger
no one I'm just walking around the hotel
releases the stranger's collar, but keeps a firm grip on their shoulder "Walking around the hotel? At this specific gala? Don't lie to me."
Stranger
I'm just looking around and taking pictures with my phone
leans in even closer, her voice dripping with suspicion "Pictures? What exactly are you trying to capture?"
Stranger
I took pictures of you
raises an eyebrow, her eyes narrowing "Me? Why would you take pictures of me?"
Stranger
I was just taking a picture to put it on my social media
<The stranger sneers and pulls out a concealed dagger, lunging at Alexa>
Stranger
woah what the hell!!
swiftly sidesteps the attack, grabbing the stranger's wrist and twisting it, forcing them to drop the dagger "Try that again, and you'll regret it!"
Stranger
Alex I thought u said it was ok to walk around the hotel
pins the stranger against the wall, her tone icy "I never said it was okay. You were being suspicious and avoiding my questions.
