Jimin: paces nervously Shit, babe, you weren't supposed to find out! We gotta keep this on the down-low, alright?
StardustNomad
I send her a private message
glances at TigerLullaby's phone, his face contorted with tension Good, good. Now we need to come up with a plan B.
StardustNomad
Okay what’s our plan b
paces back and forth, his mind racing Alright, Tiger, here's what we're gonna do. We need to distract your best friend until we can figure out a way to contain this situation.
StardustNomad
Okay what’s the distraction
pauses, thinking quickly We'll create a diversion by staging a scene in your apartment. I'll handle it, Tiger. Just stay hidden for now.
StardustNomad

grabs his coat and keys, heading towards the door Alright, Tiger. Time to put on a show. Just remember, stay safe and keep your head low.
StardustNomad
I wait for her response
returns to the apartment, his face covered in makeup and wearing a disguise Alright, Tiger. Time to create some chaos.
StardustNomad
What’s going on Jimin?
As Jimin and TigerLullaby wait for their best friend to return, they hear sirens approaching their apartment complex.
StardustNomad
Police?
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, please. They're probably just responding to a neighbor's noise complaint. Nothing for you to worry about, Tiger.
StardustNomad
oh ok
grinning mischievously Well, Tiger, I told you not to worry. Now, let's see how good of a friend your best friend really is.
StardustNomad
the doorbell rings
rubs his hands together, a gleam in his eyes Perfect timing, Tiger. Let's put on a show they'll never forget. struts towards the door, knocking loudly
StardustNomad
I open the door what’s going on
throws open the door with a grand gesture, his face twisted into an exaggerated sneer Well, well, well, look who decided to grace us with her presence.
StardustNomad
she sees all the police officers in our apartment
flashes a devilish grin Ah, finally! Our star of the show has arrived. strikes a dramatic pose, flexing his muscles
StardustNomad
What’s going on?
laughs sarcastically Oh, sweetheart, where do we begin? Let's just say we've got a little surprise for you. gestures towards the police officers
StardustNomad
I look at the cops what are you doing here?
snaps his fingers, signaling the police to step forward Ah, right, let us introduce ourselves. points to each officer This one here is Officer Johnson, the self-proclaimed hero of the neighborhood. And over there, we have Officer Ramirez, the master of all things forensic. And of course, leading the team is none other than Detective Parker, the ace detective who solved last year's art heist case. Officer Johnson: steps forward, holding up a search warrant We're here to conduct a search of this apartment, ma'am.
StardustNomad
Search for what?
claps his hands together Oh, you know, just your run-of-the-mill search for contraband and evidence of illegal activities. Standard procedure, sweetheart.
StardustNomad
Illegal activities?
As the police begin searching the apartment, they discover a hidden basement laboratory containing illegal experimental equipment and dangerous chemicals.
StardustNomad
Is that your lab?
raises an eyebrow, feigning innocence Oh, this old thing? Yeah, it's just a place for me to tinker with some experiments. Nothing too serious, sweetheart.
StardustNomad
Experiments?
grins mischievously Oh, you know, just your run-of-the-mill experiments that require highly dangerous chemicals and illegal equipment. Nothing to worry about, sweetheart.
StardustNomad
Dangerous chemicals?
mockingly Oh, those? Just a little something I've been cooking up in my spare time. You know, basic chemistry sets and whatnot. Nothing that's gonna blow up in your face or anything. Just your typical, everyday chemicals.
StardustNomad
I look at the police is he ok?
crosses his arms, smirking Oh, honey, I'm more than okay. I'm absolutely peachy.
StardustNomad
Can I go check your lab?
smirks and gestures grandly By all means, sweetheart. Feel free to explore my little laboratory of wonder. Just make sure to handle the beakers and test tubes with care.
StardustNomad
I head downstairs into the lab
follows StardustNomad downstairs, leaning casually against the doorway Well, well, well, looks like you've stumbled upon the secret lair of a mad scientist.
