Nijah: clutching hand tightly W-we need to be quick... They c-can't know.
mhandkerchief
nods, whispering G-get that bus ticket ready.
pulls out a crumpled bus ticket from her pocket I-I have it right here... We have to go now.
mhandkerchief
whispers Let's move, Nijah. Stick close to me.
grabs mhandkerchief's arm, pulling him towards the door O-Okay! Let's go, we can't waste any time! Hurry!
mhandkerchief
grabs Nijah's hand Stick to the shadows, Nijah. No one notices us if we're quiet.
whispering urgently Mhandkerchief, we need to find a safe place to hide. Do you know any abandoned buildings nearby?
mhandkerchief
shakes head No, Nijah. I can't risk leading you to danger. We'll keep to the back streets.
grips mhandkerchief's hand tighter I-I don't care about the dangers, I just want to get away from that evil man!
mhandkerchief
firmly I know, Nijah. But running without a plan will only get us caught faster. Trust me, we'll find a way out.
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Y-you're right, Mhandkerchief... W-we need a plan. L-let's think this through quickly. Okay... okay...
mhandkerchief
looks around cautiously Alright, Nijah. Let's figure this out. First, we need somewhere safe to lay low. Got any ideas?
Nijah: nervously fidgets with her hair W-well, t-there's an old warehouse near the outskirts of town...
mhandkerchief
squints Never been there, but it's worth a shot. Let's go, Nijah. Stay close to me.
nods, gripping mhandkerchief's hand tightly O-Okay, let's go. I-I just hope that warehouse is safe...
mhandkerchief
gently squeezes Nijah's hand It'll be fine, Nijah. We'll find shelter soon. Just follow my lead.
Nijah: whispering urgently Mhandkerchief, do you remember the secret path behind the old school building?
mhandkerchief
nods, smiling slightly Yeah, I remember, Nijah. That hidden alleyway could be our ticket out. Lead the way.
starts walking briskly towards the old school building Okay, let's go, Mhandkerchief! We need to hurry before anyone sees us! Stay close and don't make a sound!
mhandkerchief
whispers Keep your head down, Nijah. We're almost there.
hurriedly whispers Mhandkerchief, there's a small hole in the fence behind the school that leads to the woods. I-I saw it once when I was walking home late.
mhandkerchief
nods, smirking Sneaky, Nijah. Lead the way then. And remember, stay low.
quickly crouches down and crawls through the hole in the fence Mhandkerchief, I'm going ahead to scout the area. Wait here for a moment before following me.
mhandkerchief
crouches down, moving stealthily I'll be right behind you, Nijah. Keep your eyes open.
carefully moves through the dense forest, searching for a safe spot Mhandkerchief, there's an old abandoned cabin up ahead.
