Entry 48. June 16, 2009.
[x] Stick with Oscar.
"We've already come to this point, might as well... He seems to be the best source of answers right now anyway. I agree. Let's see what we can get out of him before making any hasty decisions."
"Guys, they're coming! Let's GO!" Felix shouts. Felix, Melanie and Oscar get back in her car, letting Oscar drive. Oscar tears out of the parking lot, surprisingly skillfully. "Damn old man, you can drive," Felix says, impressed, as they get onto the main road, narrowly avoiding a couple of cars in the process. Melanie shakes her head over and over in the backseat, unwilling to accept the craziness that just won't leave her in peace. The guys from NewFuture get in their van and continue their pursuit. "Old man, I hope you have a plan to lose them," Felix says, finding more enjoyment in the current situation than he should be. "Sorry for disrespecting your girl back there, Felix. I don't like when things change from how they're supposed to happen," Oscar apologizes. "I'll forgive you if you can get us out of this mess," he offers. Oscar smiles as he steps on the gas.
Oscar runs red lights and makes dangerous turns through busy intersections, in a constant attempt to lose their pursuers. "My car... Oh god please don't wreck my car..." Melanie whines. Oscar lets out a wild laugh, seemingly enjoying himself like he hasn't in years. "Old man...you ARE crazy..." Felix realizes as he holds onto the seat. Finally, Oscar manages to lose the van. "I don't see 'em anymore... I think you actually did it. Now slow the hell down before you get police after us too!" Felix demands, while impressed. Oscar drives into a quiet neighborhood and parks their car in somebody's driveway. "Wait here," Oscar tells them. He rings the doorbell of the house and an elderly woman appears in the door. After a small exchange of words, she nods and goes back in the house. Oscar gets back in the car with Felix and Melanie. "My mom. Great woman," Oscar tells them, smiling.
Moments later, the garage door opens and Oscar drives the car in, to hide it from sight. "We can stay here for now, while we wait for those guys to get off your back," Oscar says. Felix and Melanie both step out of the car, not sure how to feel about what just happened. "Come in, come in. I promise I won't bite," he beckons them into his mother's house. "What other choice do we have Mel..." Felix whispers, as he pulls her inside with him.
Inside Mrs. Kurst's house, Felix and Melanie sit on the living room couch, across from Oscar. He told his mother to stay in her bedroom because she doesn't need extra excitement in her life. "Could I get you two anything? Some tea perhaps?" Oscar offers. "How about answers, old man," Felix says slyly. "Ho ho... Yes, I suppose," Oscar replies.
"You said Patrick is the leader of some group of guys from NewFuture that are after information on my dad's project. Why?"
"That is correct. Patrick may have pretended to be your friend, but I can assure you that is the last thing on his mind. You are useful to him, that is all. They want the details of your father's work because it will be very profitable to them."
"How? How do they even know it's not some stupid, worthless project?"
"Because the other man involved in the project got careless one night and revealed too much."
"You mean Anthony?"
"Correct. Nothing meant more to your father than that project. When he caught wind of Anthony's foolishness, he made sure he would never reveal anything else."
"By murdering him."
"Correct... It is not wise to cross Chad when it comes to his work."
"How did my father get away with the murder?"
"Chad was always very good at playing people, and he managed to acquire one extremely powerful ally: Lizor Calranian."
"No... But how? Why would Lizor help my father get away with murder? What could he possibly owe him?"
"Everything. Lizor is arrogant filth. He thought he was powerful enough to have whatever he desired. Do you remember the rape case he was involved in?"
"Yes, Melanie and I researched that recently. Don't tell me..."
"Unfortunately, I am afraid what you are thinking is the truth. Your father helped Lizor get out from under his little mess. He brought forth shocking evidence and a solid alibi proving Lizor couldn't have raped her. The icing on the cake was making her disappear to prevent any further trouble..."
A terrified, disgusted look consumes both Melanie's and Felix's faces as they become painfully aware that Chad's wickedness truly knows no limits.
"I am terribly sorry you ever had to discover this horrible truth. I am one of the very few people who know it. Even the men at NewFuture are completely unaware of Lizor's bond to Chad."
"Why...why did you never bring this information to the police..."
"Because there was no solid evidence to prove it. And your mother forbid me from doing so, anyway."
"What... My mother is the one who discovered it? How?"
"Yes. How she came upon this information I do not know. Chad tried his best to use Rose to his advantage, but she was often one step ahead of him."
"What are her intentions? What is her involvement in all of this?"
"Like I said earlier, I can not disclose such information."
"DAMMIT OLD MAN. WHY NOT?"
"I will remain loyal to Rose's wishes until the very end."
"Have you ever thought maybe she's just playing and using you..."
"No. Rose is a marvelous woman and would not do such a thing."
Felix remembers the box Oscar gave him inside the store and takes it out of his pocket.
"Then tell us about this. What's inside? Why is it so important?"
"It is important because your mother went through a lot of trouble to acquire it. I do not know what is inside, and I do not want you to open it here."
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Because I do not wish to know if Rose didn't want me to."
"You are psycho... You act like she's something to be worshiped."
"Hahaha. Some may say your mother is. I am only respecting her because that is what good friends do."
"And how can we go back anyway? What are we supposed to do? Those guys from NewFuture are just going to leave us alone?"
"You are a lot safer in Gledenberg than here. The FBI has grown very curious in NewFuture. They won't risk doing anything rash when they know they're being monitored. Plus, I would imagine they are quite confused without Patrick's leadership right now."
"And is it true the FBI is watching me as well?"
"Maybe, but it's not like they would bug your place or anything. They wouldn't break the law with so little to go on. Haha."
"Then what on earth was my mother talking about on the phone... She said someone was watching and listening to me."
"Probably screwing with you so you'd take her message more seriously. Sounds like something Rose would do. Heh."
Upon hearing those words, Felix's expression reverts to anger. "We're leaving now, old man," he says. "Don't hate your mother, Felix. She's a good person," Oscar responds, picking up on the fresh anger in Felix's eyes. "You can all go to hell," Felix spits, clearly regretting falling back into this chaotic mess. Felix and Melanie get back in her car and drive away.
"Felix...are you okay? You can calm down now," Melanie says, trying to comfort Felix. "It's just...how could we be so stupid? My mom doesn't talk to me for years, and then she manages to drag us into her little game. It sickens me," he vents. "I know...I hate it too, but we did agree we'd figure this all out," she reminds him. "Ugh...I know, I know. I'll cool down. That stupid old man's disgusting and creepy loyalty to my mother just bothered me," he says, starting to settle down. "It's already getting late, Felix. It's almost six. What should we do?" she asks.
[] Head back to Gledenberg.
[] Stop at a restaurant.
[] Go to the movie theatre.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?

Stop at a restaurant.

[x] Stop at a restaurant.
Get something to eat! You can have some small chat and such. No sense on going back to Gledenberg right now with NewFuture guys chasing after for you and the mysterious box. A movie theatre is big and dark, so it's easy to get attacked/kidnapped/get your mysterious box stolen.

Sure, but it's a 90 mile drive to Gledenburg from Trissany. You think that NewFuture hasn't set up a watch team to track Felix's every move while he makes his way back to town? They could easily ambush him if he heads back to Gledenburg right now.

Always a possibility. But I've already revealed it isn't NewFuture itself that is after Chad's project. It is Patrick and some other employees. The company itself is not some front for an evil organization. Lizor's current role in everything is unknown. He represents NewFuture, not Patrick.
It's also become apparent that these stooges aren't exactly professionals when it comes to this type of thing. They're factory workers, not secret agents. It's even harder for them without Patrick to tell them what to do. They're trying to keep an eye on Felix because they think that's what Patrick would want. If they act too stupidly, they will draw attention to themselves, which is exactly what the FBI is waiting for. We don't know what, but Chad has told them enough to get them very interested in watching NewFuture.
But then again, who knows what they might do now that Oscar has drawn a lot of attention to Felix. Perhaps they would even get too careless all in hopes of achieving their goals.
