What's inside the case?
A surprise?
Money?
A crime?
Open it
Have a look
We might be rich
We might just have been caught
The black suddenly drawn open
The sudden feeling of suspense
Just managing to cope
It's starting to get intense
Open
It's open
Let's see
Don't close it
See what's there
What is it?
A surprise?
Money?
A crime?
It's hard to decifer
It's hard to take now
Close it
It's getting too much
Shut
It's closed
Finally
Time to leave
Time to get away
Let's run as far as possible
Let's not be scared
Let's stay calm
Let's just hide
Get away
The guilt I feel is unreal
Run
Noooooo
Stop
