" 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.
