"It looks familiar but—"
Sebastian interrupts, "It looks like—"
"NO! It doesn't." Eleanor interrupted Sebastian.
Sebastian looks down before looking at her, "I can understand how you feel, Miss Williams, but I'm doing this for—"
Eleanor shakes her head, "I know, but this isn't—"
"What are you both talking about?"
The tension in the room breaks, but Eleanor and Sebastian looks at the direction where the sound came from, "Leo?" Both said in unison.
Leo looks at his left, then at his right
"Do you see anybody else?"
"Why are you here?" Sebastian scrambled as he asked.
Leo smugly says, "Because I'm something you're not."
"But I'm legally and biologically a boy. Aren't you a boy? Are you an alien?" Sebastian leaned forward a bit with genuine curiosity.
Eleanor looks back and forth between them and mumbles, "What the... fuck... did they both lose their minds?"
Leo's smirk fades, "Either you're very innocent or very fool. I'm talking about me being a detective!"
"And what have you done as a detective?"
The air around them turns cold. The tension was so thick that it could choke anyone into the room.
As Eleanor's hand clenched the pendant, her eyes were reflecting raw emotion.
Leo takes her hand and says, "Just trust me. You'll be fine." And Leo takes her back to the office and said, "Sebastian is just trying to use you..." he touches Eleanor's cheeks, "Hey, Miss Williams? Are you upset? I-i-i-i-I'm sorry... truly... now let's work together..." Eleanor still looked stressed. She was exhausted. Leo's eyes soften, "Go home..." he says softly, "I'll manage everything... just get rest."
"But—"
"No 'Buts' but don't flatter yourself. I know you'll miss this handsome man's face. So just you know, take this picture." He hands her his picture, a silly picture where he's posing with his thumb out in an amusement park. Eleanor looks at his picture and stops.
After a few seconds, she chuckles. A real chuckle.
Leo grins, "Look. That wasn't too hard, was it? Use your mouth muscles, it suits you."
Eleanor chuckles and shakes her head, "Thank you... maybe?"
Leo just smiles back.
Eleanor leaves the room, Leo's smile fades when the door closes, he turns on the laptop and he actually got the detailed History of Theodore and Megan, the actual argument that lead Adrian to Wedunus district at first place and why was Stacey kidnapped.
He thinks, 'Theodore used his brilliance to get the Alderbury group... I need to keep this suspicion of Sebastian to keep the imposter distracted.'
Leo continues to type, and then his finger lingers near the 'Enter' button and then—
BANG!
Someone hit his head, and he passed out.
He wakes up beside Sebastian, chained up together, "What the fuck am I doing here?" Leo groans.
Sebastian also wakes up, "Why are you— wait... where are we?"
"Why am I always stuck with you!" Leo shouts.
"Hush! Somebody will hear us, you bitch!"
Leo paused after hearing Sebastian.
"Oh my—"
CLACK CLACK CLACK
"Why are you both being so reckless? Just Chill." Said the anonymous voice.
"Who is this?" Leo asks Sebastian.
"Do you think I'm a walking Instagram or Gemini?"
"I think you're a decent human." And then Leo laughs at Sebastian.
And. The anonymous person slams the hand on the table, "SHUT UP, you pests!"
Both of them didn't look scared.
Sebastian breaks the silence, "Okay, okay. Jokes apart. Who are you and... why did you kidnap us?"
And the Anonymous person says, "Me?" And chuckles, "I'm..." and bends down, it's—
