Find the Scientist

Moments later when the coast seems clear you press your ear up the door where you last saw the scientist be led out by the intimidating men. The sound of footsteps growing more distant gives you the reassurance to open the doors. In the far corner of the alleyway you spot the woman who spoke with such conviction looking much smaller than you remember. It’s clear she had been beaten around as she sat stooped with her arms, legs, and wings restrained and her mouth gagged. She doesn’t hear you approach until you gently touch her shoulder. 

You suddenly forget what drew you out here after her. Unsure of where this decision may have led you, you finally stutter, “Are you ok?”, only to remember that she’s incapable of answering you. 

You don’t know what you’ve gotten yourself into. This is far more dangerous than you originally anticipated. In this moment you consider your options:

Do you turn around? You’re not that far in and it doesn’t seem too late to go right back through the doors you entered. No one will even know you were here.

Or

Do you dig deeper? You need to gather more information from this woman, and potentially get involved in a very dangerous situation.
