Jake: You're... alive! sighs heavily Thought I'd lost you again.
SeashellMelancholy

rushes over to SeashellMelancholy Are you okay? Can you hear me? checks her pulse
SeashellMelancholy
yeah.. i.. can.. hear you.. she coughs again
helps SeashellMelancholy sit up It's about time, sis! I've been searching everywhere for you! What happened out there? Why were you in the water?
SeashellMelancholy
last thing i remember was a wave pulling me under and then.. i woke up.. in my bed.. she looks puzzled
furrows his brow That doesn't make any sense. How did you end up in your bed if you were pulled under the water?
SeashellMelancholy
she shrugs im in my bed..
looks around suspiciously This doesn't add up, sis. I think someone might have tampered with the beach.
SeashellMelancholy
tampered? what do you mean?
stands up, determined We need to investigate this, sis. I'll start by checking the surveillance cameras around the beach.
SeashellMelancholy
okay
hurries towards the lifeguard station Alright, sis, let's see if we can find any clues. Stay close and keep an eye out for anything unusual.
SeashellMelancholy
she follows him
quickly reviews the surveillance footage, scanning through various angles Okay, sis, let's see if we can spot anything strange. Zoom in on that area where you were pulled under.
SeashellMelancholy
umm.. i think that was.. right over there she points to the screen
pauses the video at the exact moment SeashellMelancholy pointed to Holy shit, sis! Look at this! There's someone in a black hoodie lurking near the water's edge.
SeashellMelancholy
uh.. is that.. a person?
As Jake and SeashellMelancholy continue to watch the footage, the figure in the black hoodie suddenly disappears from the screen.
SeashellMelancholy
they disappeared..
narrows his eyes, determined They can't just disappear like that, sis. We need to find out who this was and what their intentions were.
SeashellMelancholy
oh
immediately takes out his phone and dials a number I'm calling the police, sis. We need to report this suspicious activity.
SeashellMelancholy
uhm.. okay
speaking into the phone Hey, this is Jake. I need to report a suspicious incident at the beach. We have evidence of someone tampering with the area.
SeashellMelancholy
she looks worried
hangs up the phone, turning to SeashellMelancholy The police are on their way, sis. We need to secure the scene and make sure no evidence gets destroyed.
SeashellMelancholy
okay
immediately starts securing the area, putting up police tape and lighting up the place with flares Stay close, sis.
SeashellMelancholy
she stays close to him
pulls out his phone again and contacts the beach authorities Hey, we need to evacuate the beach immediately. It's not safe.
SeashellMelancholy

puts a hand on SeashellMelancholy's shoulder Sis, I think whoever did this might still be around. We need to make sure you're safe.
