Cedric looks at you intensely. For a few seconds, everything was silent, but then you hear a chuckle. "Well," he says. "I think I'll take that chance."
Then, before you can do anything, the college student jumps up and shoves you back before taking off towards an exit of the warehouse.

Cedric glances back for a second and you see a mischievous grin. "Catch me if you can, sucker!" he shouts before running onto the freeway.
