Eli: whispering, glancing around nervously Th-th-they're h-h-here, I s-sw-swear. H-hiding like a r-r-rat in the sh-shadows.
Windexis
really
nods fervently Y-yeah, I h-heard them, c-coming from the dark side of the island. They're planning something, I j-just know it.
Windexis
where on the island are they
gesturing wildly D-don't know, but... but they're probably hiding in the old abandoned warehouse by the dock. Yeah, that's right.
Windexis
let’s go
tries to hide his fear, but his voice betrays him Oh, um, okay, l-let's go. But, uh, be careful, okay?
Windexis
yeah we need to be careful because of the other people on the island that might want to attack us or kill us because they think we have money or something like that what happened to you before
stuttering Y-yeah, exactly! We gotta b-be careful. You n-never know who's gonna jump out at you on this island.
Windexis
let’s stick together so we don’t get lost and we can find the warehouse
nervously nods Y-yeah, sticking together is a g-good idea. L-let's just, um, stick close to each other, okay?
Windexis
k
takes a deep breath, trying to muster courage O-Okay, let's g-go. Just, uh, stay close and... and keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
Windexis
ok let’s go now
grabs Windexis's arm and starts walking cautiously Come on, let's move quickly but stay quiet. We don't want them to catch us off guard.
Windexis
alright
whispers urgently Keep your guard up. I heard m-moves in the grass.
Windexis
looks down oh
As Eli and Windexis approach the warehouse, they hear footsteps coming from inside. Someone is waiting for them.
Windexis
whispers to Eli So there's someone in here after all. What should we do?
gulps, eyes wide with fear Uh, um, w-we should, uh, maybe... maybe sneak in quietly and catch them off guard.
Windexis
yeah we can try but i have my knife if anyone tries to attack me i’ll through it in their eyes
nervously fidgets with his hands G-g-good idea. I-I'll distract them while you sneak up behind and, uh, take care of business.
Windexis
no i’ll go first since i have the knife and you go behind me
stammers O-Okay, you go first. Just, uh, be careful, alright? And, um, if anything happens to you, I'll, uh, I'll...
Windexis
I’ll be fine
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Okay, here goes nothing. slowly opens the creaky door of the warehouse
Windexis
walks in quietly
enters the warehouse, scanning the area H-Hey, anyone here?!
Windexis
looks around no one here
whispers urgently W-Windexis, I don't see anyone. We need to search the place thoroughly. Stay behind me.
Windexis
yeah ok
nervously walks deeper into the warehouse, searching for any signs of the supposed intruder L-Let's s-see if we can find any clues...
Windexis
looking around I'm surprised we don't see any clues around here
runs fingers along the walls, searching for hidden compartments There must be something here. We need to find it before it's too late.
Windexis
trying to stay calm Eli, I think we're wasting our time. There's nothing here.
frustrated N-No, Windexis, we can't give up yet! We have to find it! It's our only lead! starts knocking on the walls C-Coming down... m-maybe...
