"So where are we headed?" My voice echoes in the dark mansion.

"It's a secret."

"You say that about everything."

I find myself captivated by the mysterious allure of the mansion at night, its grandeur casting long shadows that dance along the walls. Gael, my enigmatic companion, leads the way, his steps purposeful and confident. Intrigued by his movements, I silently trail behind him, curiosity driving me forward.

As we reach the outskirts of the mansion, I notice Gael veering off in a different direction. A flicker of determination ignites within me, compelling me to follow his lead. I quicken my pace, careful to keep a safe distance, as I make my way towards his destination.

My heart quickens with anticipation as we arrive at a secluded car garage. Gael, ever the master of secrets, pulls open the doors, revealing a sight that takes my breath away. The expansive space is filled with an array of vehicles, each one a testament to his clandestine world.

My eyes widen in awe as I take in the sight before me. There are sleek sedans, powerful sports cars, and even motorcycles, their polished exteriors gleaming under the dim lighting. All seem to be stolen properties from his past victims.

Gael reaches beneath a black tarp, his movements deliberate and purposeful. With a flourish, he unveils a magnificent motorcycle, its sleek design exuding power and sophistication. The dark metallic frame glistens, beckoning me closer, enticing me to indulge in the thrill of the open road.

Gael's eyes meet mine, a flicker of something unspoken passing between us. There is an invitation in his gaze, an unspoken offer to share in the adrenaline-fueled experiences that this world has to offer. "Like what you see?"

"Please, you probably stole this from someone."

"Why did you think I stole it." He pauses looking at the arrays of cars. "You wanna ride or not?"

I step closer to the motorcycle, my hand instinctively reaching out to trace the contours of its frame. It is as if this machine holds a secret, a promise of exhilaration and liberation.

I watch Gael hop on the motorcycle. "Get on."

The engine roars to life as I mount the motorcycle, my hands finding their place around Gael's waist. The vibration of the powerful machine reverberates through my body, igniting a sense of exhilaration within me. With a nod from Gael, we set off, leaving the confines of the mansion behind and venturing into the unknown streets that lie ahead.

The wind rushes past us, whipping through my hair as we navigate the open roads. I hold on tightly to Gael, my arms encircling his waist, seeking both stability and a sense of connection. There is an undeniable electricity that courses between us, a silent understanding forged in the shared thrill of the ride.

As we weave through the city streets, the night becomes our playground. The glow of streetlights illuminates our path, casting shadows that dance around us, creating a sense of mystery and adventure. With every turn and swerve, I feel a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins, propelling me forward into the unknown.

The cityscape unfolds before us, a tapestry of lights and life. The rumble of the engine melds with the rhythm of the city, a symphony of chaos and freedom. It's in these fleeting moments that I find solace, a respite from the weight of the world and the struggles that lie within.

I catch glimpses of fleeting moments, snapshots of life in motion. People bustling along the sidewalks, laughter spilling out from nearby cafes, and the distant hum of music cascading from open windows. The world continues to spin, oblivious to the existence of our secret escapade.
