Try to gain your directional bearinnhgs and head somewhere or go in the direction the man left, he probably knew where he was going

You locate the disturbed path left by the figure that had rushed its way away from the scene of the crime. Crushed leaves and broken twigs were a good indicator. That and the trail of what appears to be blood.

The forest was quiet but lots of rustling bushes and trees gave an uneasy feel to the place. You were starting to remember where you were at until you came to a dead stop in front of a stone river in front of you.

You look at the expansive stretch going east and west. A pattern of yellow lines went down the center...

Hunt down the mysterious figure

You test the obstruction with your foot and find it to be solid ground. The blood trail continues across it into some more woods. On the other side you think you hear glass breaking and angry voices.

Both of the voices were male, and they were speaking English from what you could tell.

Cross the strange pathway?

Proceed to go "all in"

From what you're hearing now it sounds like someone is in trouble. You could hear a loud scream and some more crashing around.

You dash across the path into the other side of the woods and come up quickly to the source. The wood you went through was surprisingly short lived as you came into a clearing where all the commotion was happening. Several tall poles with bright lights illuminated the area and you could smell chemicals. A squat building
loomed in front of you, its glass windows smashed. Outside of the entrance two men argued with eachother while standing over the figure you saw earlier who was on the groundcovering his/her head.

The two men were wearing masks which concealed their faces and they held what appears to be metal pipe and a bag spilling over with product.

"What do we do with her?"

"She's seen us man! With our masks off! she'll no doubt go to the police."

"Just take the pipe and be done with it! We'll hide the body somewhere safe!"

"James, I can't do it! This isn't how it was suppose to go!"

"Just do it, Rodney!"

Tackle the guy that would do it

Get a clear firing line of them so they can't hide and point the gun at them, tell them to put down what they have in their hands and show them

It's a shame you didn't pre-load your gun before trying to do this. You calmly walk towards them and stop at a safe distance in the light and pull your gun out. Obviously empty. you could attempt to bluff them though and act like it IS loaded. It doesn't seem they've noticed you yet.

James: Fine, I'll be the one to bash her skull in you pusillanimous individual.

yes bluff it, the one guy is obviously afraid of killing the girl so he wont try to retaliate, the other guy might need some convincing though

Rodney, squared up and knocked the pipe out of James hands

James:We're in this together, Rod. You know that!

Rodney: I'm sorry, James. I should have never hung out with you. This is just wrong.

You draw your gun and clear your throat to draw their attention but what came out was an awkward raspy cough. Both of them looked up and saw you standing underneath the light. James eyes widened with horror.

James: what the hell...


convince Rodney to help him detain James, later he can put In a proper word for him if he co-operates

Also ask what's happening and ask them to move away from the lady

watch your back too, there might be someone else.

You begin to speak in an extremely raspy voice.

Move away from the woman you said, motioning with your gun.

Your accent comes in thick as molasses. You're Australian you suddenly realize.

Rodney passes out and James turns and runs


check on the girl real quick then attempt to pursue James
