Chapter 10 - Concealed Intentions

Lexus gradually awakened from his deep slumber, his senses slowly returning. Realizing he had been struck by a tranquilizer bullet, he checked for signs of internal injury, relieved to find that his vital signs were normal. Grateful to have fallen into the safety of the oversized teddy bear, he offered a silent prayer of thanks.

Observing a blinking red light on a camera in the hallway, Lexus deduced that at least one security camera was still active. Concerned for the well-being of his comrades, he hoped that they had survived the ordeal thus far. Determined to find a way out, Lexus decided to explore his surroundings.

Examining the room he found himself in, labeled as Room 88 in the underground section, Lexus couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. His eyes fell upon the enormous teddy bear, causing a shiver to run down his spine.

"Oh, dear Lord, I hope this teddy bear isn't one of those eerie living dolls," he thought to himself, his guard up as he cautiously ventured further.

Attempting to contact Chief Melton through his radio, Lexus was met with silence, frustration building within him. "Why now?" he muttered, his determination unyielding. Searching for an exit, he found his way to an open area that led toward the storage room. However, upon reaching the door, he noticed it was already open, setting off alarm bells in his mind. Taking cover in a concealed spot, he watched intently as the group of thieves ravaged the room, desperately searching for something

James, their leader, voiced his frustration, his voice laced with determination. "Where is it? Why isn't it here?" Milky Cow, exhausted from their destructive rampage, questioned James's relentless pursuit. "J, what are you searching for? Look at the treasures we've already acquired. They're worth hundreds of millions."

As Lexus listened to the chaos and conversations unfolding within the room, a hand suddenly covered his mouth, stifling any potential sound. It was Oriana, one of the thieves, who whispered softly into his ear, urging him to remain silent. They sought refuge in a hidden corner, concealed from the intruders.

In the midst of the tension, a Rabbit Mascot silently made its way down the hallway, passing by Lexus and Oriana. The mascot's digital voice emitted a playful tone as it introduced itself, "Hi! My name is... my name is... my name is... shikishikishiki Slim Bunny! Let's play hide and seek!"

James, Milky Cow, and Oriana stood frozen, struck by a mixture of awe and confusion. Lexus, having become somewhat immune to the strange occurrences, readied himself to make a run for it, his mind racing with thoughts of escape. The stakes had been raised once again, as the clash between thieves and the mysterious forces within the mansion grew ever more treacherous.
