" Are we really going to do this? "
Ellis: " We have no choice, It's the only way to save Jess. "
Will and Ellis stand outside an abandoned warehouse, talking to each other before they go inside.
" Couldn't we just call the police though?... "
Ellis shakes her head.
Ellis: " She told me specifically not to bring the police with us or she... will kill her. "
She looks nervous as she continues.
Ellis: " And... she told me that they won't respond... "
' Just who is Rose?... Why does she have this much power? '
You look at the doors of the warehouse and sigh in defeat.
" Ah what the hell, Let's go. I'm sure they are tired of waiting. "
Ellis: " Don't worry... I'm sure our plan will leave us out of danger. "
She smiles at me one more time before entering.
...
Rose.
Her eyes light up as soon as she sees me.
Rose: " Welcome back, It seems my hunch was correct it seems... "
She stands up and slowly walks toward you.
:" You know... I just don't get it... I don't get how you can still love this creature beside you... ":
She sounds slightly amused.
" Rose, I'm here now, aren't I? Can you let go of Jess now? "
Rose: " Well I did say that I'd let her go once you're here... "
She stops in front of me.
:" Don't be stupid, Will. You know what else I want. ":
"Of course... "
Rose: " I'm glad we have an understanding then. "
She starts walking to a door.
:" Follow me then. ":
I start following her.
Ellis looks at me while I look back at her.
' And with that, our plan is in motion. '

" What? Jess... got kidnapped?? By who??? "
Ellis: " Rose... she... "
Her hands start shaking.
" A-Alright calm down... "
I waited for her to calm down before continuing.
" What does she want? "
She looks uncomfortable.
" Is it something you don't want to give her?... "
She nods.
" Is it something you have?... "
She nods again.
" Okay, Is it me? "
Ellis: " H-Huh?! "
" Is it not? "
' I can't think of anything else but that. '
Ellis: " Y-Yeah, She wants you... "
" Alright, What does she want with me specifically though? "
She takes a deep breath before speaking.
Ellis: " She... She wants you to go to this location she gave me on my phone. "
' The abandoned warehouse? '
Ellis: " She also wants me to leave this town with Jess and never come back... "
" That won't do. "
She looks surprised.
" That won't do at all. "
Ellis: " But Rose she... "
" I already promised didn't I? "
Ellis: " But Jess she... "
" We will save Jess. "
Ellis: " She told me to... "
" So what? "
Ellis looks at you with disbelief.
" Rose isn't the boss of my life. You don't need to worry, We will save Jess no matter what. I already promised that I won't make you sad anymore... and If you are planning to leave this town... "
You lean closer to her and whisper in her ear.
" Im definitely coming with you. "
Ellis looks embarrassed but she looks happy too.
