[sound of several footsteps, rainfall]

MIGUEL:
[panting] you doing okay back there?

ESMERALDA:
[heavy huff] oh, splendid.

MIGUEL:
You can tell me if you're getting tired. I'll... I'll carry you.

ESMERALDA:
Hah. Not funny.

MIGUEL:
No, I'm being serious.

ESMERALDA:
You almost killed me the last time I got near you. Now you want to give me a piggy back ride?

MIGUEL:
Fine keep limping then. Hell if I care.

ESMERALDA:
...

Agh...

MIGUEL:
[sigh]

ESMERALDA:
Would you... actually, y'know, kill me?

MIGUEL:
I'll try not to. Just, just don't poke my buttons and we'll be fine.
[footsteps stop]

ESMERALDA:
[grunts, fabric rustling. Sigh]
Thank you... I've just been so tired...

MIGUEL:
I get it. It takes a lot out of you. In the beginning.

ESMERALDA:
How long do I have... until I...?

MIGUEL:
... I don't know. You don't have long until you die. But whether or not you come back... turn into one of them, I don't know.

[car passes by, splash.]

The rain isn't letting up. It's storming. Shock.

ESMERALDA:
What do we do? I'm so cold...

MIGUEL:
I'll find us cover but we'll have to keep going. Can't stop. Have to stay in the open, that's where Gwen can't find us. She specializes in secrets. We have to be somewhere everyone knows we're at.

ESMERALDA:
soo wouldn't that put us at risk of the other guys finding us?

MIGUEL:
Yes. But I can take care of them.

[muffled talking, chatter and silverware clanking]

ESMERALDA:
Sooo we just hide in this cafe for how long?

MIGUEL:
Until I say so. Drink your tea.

ESMERALDA :
It's... hot.

MIGUEL:
You're going to have to get used to it.
