Leo took a shaky breath and walked inside the office leaving Eleanor alone. Reached for her coat pocket and pulled out the missing piece, she looked back and forth between the door and the paper before deciding to give the pendant and the report about the pendant to the Alderbury because there was a side of her that doesn't want Leo to go...
She knocked on Adrian's study.
"Come in." The voice came from inside.
Eleanor opened the door and said, "This report was lost, Mr. Alderbury."
"Put that on table." Adrian commanded "And Leave."
Eleanor's eyes narrowed but she said nothing and placed that file on the table and left.
The time passed, Eleanor was alone in Janella's room, typing on her laptop and Janella entered the room, only the light coming from laptop is illuminating her face, "The dinner is ready."
Eleanor doesn't look up from the screen, "Give me 5 minutes."
"What are you doing?" Asked Janella curiously while leaning closer.
"Researching about Megan."
"Fell in—" Megan tried to tease her with a wink but Eleanor interrupted her firmly, "Quite the negative. Megan is a prostitute. After the meeting with the Handler, I've seen Sebastian leaving that 2-story building and talking to Leo, I've tried to eavesdrop but only heard Sebastian saying, 'truth'. At first I thought he must be a normal citizen, but he isn't. Megan is also mentioned many times in the files. I—"
Janella pats Eleanor's shoulder and softly interrupted, "Why are you helping Leo Saunders? The Handler gave you the mission to just... Erase the evidence."
"But I wasn't the one who killed Stacey! I was just there to get the heirloom. I'll do my job. I'll erase all the evidence I left. But Handler didn't said that I can't help Leo with Stacey's murder." There was a hint of raw emotion in Eleanor's voice after a long time.
"It's risky, you know that, right?"
"If I don't help him, then all the allegations will come up to me." Eleanor's eyes narrowed but Janella said nothing
The tension between them is choking
"Let's have the dinner..." Janella breaks the tension.
"Yeah..." Eleanor said softly while getting off the bed, turning off her laptop.
Eventually, Eleanor and Janella had dinner and went to bed.
The next morning, All the research about Megan is gone, the window of the room was open, the Spanish warm air hits her face, Eleanor locked outside the window and found Sebastian standing in front of the door.
"Would you please open the door?" Sebastian politely asked, looking up at the window.
Eleanor looks at sleeping Janella but without a word, she went downstairs and unlocked the door.
"I sincerely apologize to disturb you."
"No problem, please... have a seat." Eleanor gestures towards the couch.
Sebastian took a seat and took a deep breath. Eleanor was standing near the dining table, looking at him cautiously.
"Please have a seat..." Sebastian requested.
Eleanor slowly walked forward and took a seat.
"So..." then Sebastian pulled out the pendant and said, "You and Leo found, didn't you?" And Eleanor corrects, "Leo alone found it. I was hired at that time."
"Yeah... yeah... foolish of me. But there's a faint picture in the locket, a boy..." Eleanor takes the pendant and indeed, there was a dirty picture of a boy around 10 years old but the face was covered by the blood.
"We just need to get this boy's identified." Sebastian said while leaning a bit closer.
"It's something that wasn't supposed to be there..."
And shatter
Sebastian and Eleanor looks up at where the sound came from. Someone was standing there...
It was—
