And eventually, Leo decided to visit the Place alone. As he went to the Place, it seemed a bit familiar, that and for some mins, he stood alone for some time before snapping back He looks down, and he's somewhere in that district. He looks around then at his hand
"What are you doing here?" A female voice asked. Leo looks up and sees Eleanor.
"I could ask you the same." said Leo
Eleanor says, "There's a shortcut from here." and Leo says, "There's-" and as he blinks, Eleanor wasn't there, it was as if she was never there. Leo took a shaky breath and turned it down. Leo walks through the streets. He went then walked passed the thugs and prostitutes. He stood outside a house and when he was about to enter. He saw someone. it was
Sebastian.
Leo saw Sebastian. Leo's gaze lingered a bit too long. "Strange place for a casual walk, don't you think, Mr. Alderbury?" Said Leo. Sebastian smiled - but it didn't quite reach his eyes as he says, "Depends on what you're looking for."
"And what are you looking for?" asked Leo. Sebastian shrugged, "Truth."
Leo let out a quiet breath and says "You won't find it here," and as Sebastian walks away, Leo saw an abandoned warehouse and he felt a strange recognising towards that place and decided to go there. The warehouse was dim, dusty and eerie, Leo slightly felt uncomfortable but then he found a box, Leo reaches for the box but his hands hesitates for a moment. Leo takes the box and opens it, he finds some bills, some old receipts and as he moves them, and He finds a File that is sealed with a red lamp and the title is 'Aldenbury heirloom': Leo flips through the pages and reads the plan and then he remembers the footage of a woman in black. Before Leo could think more, he receives a call it's that a junior investigator, Leo picks up the call and before he could say anything, the Junior investigator says "oh finally, I was about to say but he was interrupted, "sir? we've located a pendant." "where?" asked Leo. At the primary crime scene." Leo exhales as he hangs up the call and decided to take the file with him. As Leo was driving he was wondering if he should handle this case alone. when he arrived at the bathroom of Stacey's, a member hands him the pendant, It was old, gothic kind of, it wasn't random. Leo examines it and realizes it feels out of the place. He recalls the warehouse file in his mind and he knows this case is layered - not just a murder case
He takes a deep breath and chooses to
request a partner but he specifically
ask for someone outside the usual pool.
Meanwhile, Eleanor was having coffee at
Janella's Place and they received a call
from their handler and Jane gave a
"Why is he calling?" look and Eleanor says,
"Maybe..." and they went to the meeting
place and blindfold themselves and the
Handler enters and takes a seal as he
Says with a mock of pity, "You did the
mission flawlessly, but I afraid you can't
retire" "Why?" Eleanor speaks up without missing a beat and the handler
laughs before saying, "You dare to ask
'why'? How sweet. but your 'flawless' work
wasn't flawless. That like you left
way too much evidence for that detective, something called, Leo saunders~ You
can't retire, Eleanor. He's finding a partner for investigation, I've got an ID
of a woman named Eleanor Williams. At least your common name is kind of useful."
