Solution
Sample Answer
There, in front of Phil, was a man with a strange expression. His eyes held a mixture of fear and determination as he fumbled with a crumpled piece of paper. Phil, intrigued, approached cautiously.
"Are you okay?" Phil asked, reaching out a hand.
The man hesitated before thrusting the paper into Phil's palm. It was a hastily scrawled note: "Help me. They're after me."
Before Phil could respond, the man dashed off into the crowded street, disappearing into the urban maze. Bewildered, Phil unfolded the note, his mind racing with questions and possibilities. Little did he know, this encounter would lead to an unexpected adventure.
