He warned him.He saw a hidden spot, and decided to go there, and answer the call knowing it was important since anything concerning Mr. Hodge is important.He got to the spot and answered the call. "I told you not to call.""You should find a way to get out of there, Owen. The police are on their way."Owen's eyes widened. "What? How's that possible? I didn't tell you.""Well, I'm surprised about that seeing as I'm sure you knew my wife is in my dad's hands. Thankfully, all my hope wasn't on you, so if you know what's best for you, start leaving so as not to be caught in that situation."Owen nodded. "Are you sure it'll work though? What if he escapes?""He shouldn't, Owen.""But your wife. She's not in a good condition, and I'm pretty sure your dad will drag her around.""I'll be on my way there," Leo informed.Owen nodded.

As Alexa and Leo both lie down quietly, Alexa couldn't help, but wonder what exactly her husband is thinking about. He was in deep thought. Like his mind traveled him to a faraway land.She rested on her side, her hand on him with her head in the crook of his neck. "You're now acting like me. Thinking too much.""Your stomach is poking me, and I'm not comfortable with this position," Leo said truthfully, causing her to frown. He turned her back to her old position and rested on his side looking at her pouted face while caressing her side. "I know you've been annoyed by me..."Alexa looked at him. "You shouldn't mind me honestly. I'm just being childish."Leo nodded. "I'm glad you know."Alexa sighed. "I'm pretty sure you know thanksgiving is coming up soon. We're not gonna be staying home all through right?""We are. It's cold, and dangerous outside."Alexa's eyes drooped. "But Leo...""We are gonna be celebrating it since it's Thanksgiving anyways.

"Okay, don't go there, Leonard. Not there. It's our babies shower, so we're attending."Leo sat down. "Is that an order?"Alexa shrugged. "Take it as you see it. I'm not gonna let it pass us by because of your fears."Leo scoffed. "Fears. One good explanation. Don't make it look like a crime, especially when there's a killer on the loose."Alexa sighed. "Phoebe took her time to prepare everything. To make it possible. To her, it was a contribution. I can't just disappoint her.""She'll understand.""We're attending whether you like it or not." Alexa stood her ground.Leo nodded. "You should eat."Alexa gave him a look and decided to start eating her breakfast.Leo stood up making her confused. "Aren't you gonna eat?

She was looking extremely tired, and completely exhausted.Alexa sat in front of her with a smile on her face. "Today was really splendid."Phoebe scoffed and looked at her. "Splendid? Not everything went as planned you know? Thanks to your killjoy husband.""You should understand him. Nothing is really going as planned at the moment."Phoebe nodded. "Well, I'm thankful it was a success. Everyone had fun, and most importantly, Leo lost a lot of money."Alexa chuckled. "Yeah. I was surprised you billed him for everything."Phoebe nodded. "Of course.

17th. November. Wednesday.Emily slide a file towards Lion as they sat in the interrogation room. "After this, I'm hoping you'll reconsider."Lion gave her a look of distaste. "I already told you that there's nothing you can tell me to make me betray my boss."Emily nodded. "Yeah. Was that why you killed Owen?"Lion scoffed. "Don't talk about that traitor in front of me. His death would have been much worse than that."Emily shook her head. "All these for your boss. Your allegiance is really incredible. Can you die for him?"Lion blanked into thoughts. "Die? Not sure, cause he won't let me die. I'm a die-hard follower of him, and he trusts me to the core.""Was that why he abandoned you?"Lion blinked. "He...needed to save himself."Emily nodded. "Hmm. Selfish of him." She pointed at the file she placed on the desk I'm front of him.
