They said they'd give answers about him. So answers. Now.

After what Felix said (which was surprising), Melanie won't need anything right now, so the priority has to be his father.

I can't believe I had to read 6 pages from 8:30 PM yesterday up to now.

[x] Take this time to ask more about your father.
"Melanie and I are good for now. I don't think she's gonna let go of my hand, besides... We can discuss what's going on later, when we're alone again. I need to know what is going on with my father."
Felix: "Patrick, you said you'd tell me about my father along the way. Start talking."
Patrick: "I've known Chad for 6 years now. I met him when I started working at NewFuture. He was a great guy and always made sure to get to know everyone and befriend them. I definitely felt I could trust him."
Felix: "You don't anymore?"
Patrick: "No. Almost no one trusts Chad anymore. You probably remember when he was being investigated for the murder of Anthony Watkins a year ago."
Felix: "Yeah, so? He was proven innocent quite early in the investigation. My dad would never kill someone."
Patrick: "Well, we're not so sure. He may have dropped off the suspects radar, but the employees of NewFuture never stopped believing he did it."
Felix: "But why? Why would my dad kill someone? Wasn't Anthony working in the engineering and inventions branch?"
Tom: "Correct. He was a very good friend of mine. Genius mind."
Patrick: "Tony was a great man, but he made the mistake of becoming too trusting in Chad. They worked very closely together. Many of us suspected Chad killed Tony to take credit for something they had been working on for years."
Felix: "Huh? My dad never talks about what he does at work with me."
Patrick: "Your father is a brilliant man, Felix. But he is a selfish man, as well. Manipulation of the people around him is his specialty. We used to believe in his promises. His lies."
Tom: "After Tony was killed, Chad began to isolate himself from the rest of us. He worked insanely long hours, alone. Whatever he had been working on with Tony became his secret and his only. Our boss tried pulling the plug on the project a few times, because it hasn't shown any results in years, but Chad always managed to keep it going."
Patrick: "A few days ago, Chad started to act even stranger. He became erratic and would wander around the factory, yelling at random people. It was truly bizarre. He was sent a small package during work on the 7th, I think it was. He left shortly after opening it and when he came back, he was a different person. Completely. It was like he had lost all the control he loves to have."
Tom: "The boss man told him to go home early and rest."
Felix: "Yeah, and then he finally believed me about getting robbed. He was so strange. He had snapped on me earlier, and then he was apologetic."
Patrick: "You were robbed? Do you know what was stolen?"
Felix: "My dad's personal diary. I think it means a GREAT deal to him. He's sensitive about it."
Tom: "Do you know what was sent to your father during work?"
Felix: "I assume it must be the video tape and note I found hidden in his room."
Patrick: "Please explain, Felix. It is important we know everything."
Felix: "A video was made by the burglar. It shows him outside, breaking in and then, after he escaped, saying he was successful in taking his diary. The note said to come to Speedy Sam's alone on June 27th at 10 AM, I think."
Patrick: "Tom, this is bad. There is another party involved in this."
Tom: "It's a good thing we got to Felix before they did."
Felix: "You're doing it again... What the hell is going on?"
Patrick: "In time, Felix. In time."
It's getting close to 6 PM and Patrick says they're almost there. Felix satisfies himself for now, but he remains curious about so much. Melanie fell asleep on Felix's shoulder.
Back at the Legard residence, Chad pulls up in his car. He slams the door and races inside. "Felix? Felix? FELIX?! WHERE ARE YOU?" Chad roars; "DAMN THAT BOY. DAMN HIM." Chad runs downstairs and grabs something from a concealed box behind the washing machine. He runs out, gets back in his car and speeds off.
It's a little past 6 PM when they arrive at Patrick's house. It's quite isolated out in the country. Not many other houses can be seen around. Felix wakes Melanie up and the five of them get out of the car. Inside Patrick's house, Felix notices it seems quite ordinary. No spy gear or something, which is totally the vibe he's been getting lately. Patrick tells Felix and Melanie to make themselves comfortable while he talks with Tom and Clinton downstairs.
[] Relax for a while with Melanie.
[] Leave with Melanie.
[] Try eavesdropping on their conversation downstairs.
[] Take this time to call Joseph and Tiffany.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

Find out what in the world is going on. I wouldn't trust those guys, not yet. And no, don't call Joseph. Telling them the story would come after everything is resolved, over a cup of coffee at Speedy Sam's or something, not when you just found out that your dad might be a murderer and out of control.

[x] Try eavesdropping on their conversation downstairs.
"Can't I please just relax for a moment... You're gonna push me too far one of these days. I'll admit I'm curious, but come on. Oh whatever, might as well. Information is most important."
"Melanie, do you really trust these guys?" Felix asks. "Well, I trust my dad, so I guess so. I don't understand why they had to play such a stupid little game with us though," Melanie admits. "I don't trust them. I'd like to know more about what's going on. This is getting ridiculous," Felix says. "Yeah...I don't get how we got from the lake to here..." Melanie is clearly sad. "I'm gonna go try eavesdropping on their conversation," Felix says. "Okay....be careful..." Melanie says, disappointed with his decision, and sits on the couch.
Felix sneaks downstairs and pushes his ear against the bottom of the door. He can't make out everything being said, but he manages to piece together a few things. Clinton is closest to the door and can be heard clearly. Tom and Patrick are hard to make out.
"...do you think...trusts us?"
"I just don't want my daughter getting hurt in all this."
"Felix...necessary...isn't safe..."
"...need that diary. If we must...kill..."
"Let's get the kids out of this. Just away from Chad would suffice. They don't need to be dragged along."
"Too important...risks... Can't be...careful..."
"...must get...NewFuture..."
"What about my wife? Will she be safe?"
"...irrelevant..."
The conversation is far too broken to understand. Felix misses entire sentences and only grows more curious. Clinton continues to try and ensure the safety of Felix, Melanie and his wife. Felix feels he is, indeed, a good man and can be trusted. The other two guys worry him. A sudden amount of noise from inside jolts Felix back up and onto the couch with Melanie.
Melanie clings to Felix more closely than he likes, but he doesn't seem to mind much. The three men come from downstairs a few minutes later. Tom heads to the bathroom, Clinton sits on the chair across from Melanie and Felix and Patrick heads to the kitchen to get everyone some food. "So, uh...you two are dating now or something?" Clinton asks, awkwardly. "Yep!" Melanie says proudly and squeezes Felix's arm harder. "I see... As long as you're happy, Melanie," Clinton responds. Clinton's gaze on Felix is intense, full of "If you hurt my daughter, I kill you" and, at the same time, "Please take care of her for me..." Felix tries interpreting the odd looks Clinton is giving him, but to no avail. It mainly just makes him nervous.
A while later, Patrick brings Clinton, Melanie and Felix a TV dinner. Tom and Patrick eat together in the kitchen. The three of them share some friendly, catching-up conversation while eating. The other two men discuss something in hushed voices. It's 6:40 PM when they're all done eating. Patrick begins telling everyone where they will be sleeping for the night. "My room is downstairs. Tom has the guest room down there. Clint and Felix can sleep up here on the floor, I guess. Melanie can have the couch." Melanie's forehead furrows to express her disapproval of this idea, but she doesn't argue. "Wait...what? We're staying the night? I have a house and cat to take of you know," Felix protests. "Sorry, you must stay here. It's safest," Patrick responds. "This is a load of BS. I want some answers. Now," Felix demands. "Tomorrow. Rest for today," Patrick says in a this-conversation-is-over tone.
Chad stops and parks outside Speedy Sam's. The rage on his face replaced with cool contemplation.
Tom and Patrick head downstairs to their bedrooms. Clinton goes to the bathroom to take a shower. Felix looks at Melanie.
[] Get out of here with Melanie while you can.
[] Take this time to become more intimate with Melanie.
[] Call Joseph and Tiffany.
[] Go to sleep early and think about things.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?
My Life Is [A Never-Ending Story] - Salguod - 2009-06-10
[] Call Joseph and Tiffany.
Dammit, I thought you might do that after I posted but I didn't think the chance of you really doing it was high enough to go back and change my decision. Save your innocent friends!
..They're going to get shot while they're on the phone, aren't they?
..I hope they're done with their shifts.
Then again, Melanie sounds really disappointed, so this was a tough choice.
