Police and FBI can't help you now.

[] Go to the Arboretum de l'Harmonie.
It's not as if you actually have any helpful information. Police? Two shots to the head.
By the way, it takes longer to ask then to just use an online dictionary to look arboretum up, though we did get a little preview of the place, I guess. I wonder what's the significance of having both an indoor and outdoor area.
Hmm, I also wonder who's going to go.

With any luck, that's completely up to the voices inside dear Felix. I suggest a cold, lonely rush into the unknown.
Also, either I'm retarded, or Nicholas is about to go out in a blaze of wet dreams glory.

I lol'd. I knew what an arboretum was (I've been to one), but I was just as confused till you explained it. For some reason my mind forced me to think "arboretum" would be pronounced as "abortem".

Entry 79. June 20, 2009.
[x] Go to the Arboretum de l'Harmonie.
"Sure there could be clues there...but COME ON. It could also be a trap! They WANT us there! You stupid voices. I don't feel good about this at all!"
"I agree with Roberta. I know it could be dangerous, but I think we need to check it out. It's our only lead at this point," Felix says. Melanie lets out a clearly disappointed sigh. "We need to go in with a plan, though," Roberta adds, nervously. "I'm not sure it's even open this early. If it is, there's definitely not going to be many people there," Selest realizes. "The main thing is that we're in control now. We're going when we want. We probably won't find anything there anymore, but it's worth a shot," Felix says. Melanie is reluctant to agree, but she doesn't want to be left behind. This time, Felix insists on driving. All four of them get in his car and head for the Arboretum de l'Harmonie.
Nicholas knows he has to be much more careful on this trip. Not only is the cover of night no longer on his side, the FBI is watching both towns very closely. The extra challenge doesn't bother him in the slightest, however. Nicholas has already accepted this will be his final day, and nothing is going to ruin it. The countdown ticks away.
Just like Selest predicted, when they arrive at the arboretum, they see only a handful of other cars in the parking lot. "It's a little past 9 AM," Roberta declares, checking her watch. "Let me go alone," Felix says, "and if I'm not back in 30 minutes, come and get me." Melanie instantly protests, but Roberta and Selest consider Felix's plan. "No, you can't go alone. I'll go with you," Selest suggests. "What! I'll go with him! Why you?" Melanie argues. "Melanie, you stay here with Roberta. She will keep you safe. If we end up meeting one of my dad's friends, I can handle the situation better," Selest explains. Melanie stubbornly agrees, "Fine, I guess!" Roberta and Melanie stay behind in the car, while Felix and Selest get out and head for the entrance.
"Hm, we have good timing. They just opened at nine," Felix notices, pointing to the sign. "If they were planning to greet us with someone, there's no way they're still here," Selest says. Lixmilo's Arboretum de l'Harmonie is a popular tourist attraction that draws people from all over the country. Located just outside of the city, its expansive grounds cover over 200 acres of land. The land is forested with hundreds of different trees and other plant life. Besides the large forest and park areas, the Arboretum de l'Harmonie features a huge indoor enclosure that is home to countless varieties of plants, both for viewing pleasure and scientific study. Inside, Felix and Selest are greeted instantly. "Welcome and good morning! This must truly be a fun date! And so early!" the arboretum employee laughs. "What, no! We're not a couple. No," Felix is quick to correct. Selest laughs. They each pay the entrance fee, which Felix realizes is much too high considering they're not even here to enjoy the beauty, and begin walking around the indoor area.
An FBI vehicle, going the opposite direction, speeds past Nicholas' car. "Fools. You're already too late to stop this," Nicholas taunts.
After wandering around for nearly half an hour, Felix starts to think they're wasting their time. "You're positive they didn't tell you anything else? No place in particular?" he asks. "I'm serious, Felix... They just said to have you at the arboretum. Maybe we're not even supposed to be inside," Selest thinks. Now deep inside the arboretum and all alone save for the hundreds of plants, Selest sits on a bench to rest and think. Felix stares at a very intriguing plant to ease his mind. "This is going nowhere... Damn. We might as well stop wasting our time, Selest," Felix says. But there is no answer. Felix turns around and Selest is no longer on the bench. She's nowhere to be seen. "Selest!" he shouts, panicking. "Fe- Help m-" Selest cries for help, not too far away. Felix runs towards her voice. "Selest!" he yells, racing deeper into the arboretum.
"The FBI has just taken Dimitrov Berendt into custody. An eye witness has come forward saying they saw Dimitrov carrying a body out back of his gas station in Trissany. A receipt found in Nicholas Lezoa's home confirms he was at Dimitrov's gas station the day of Chad Legard, Valerie Minn and Hudson Wellton's disappearance. Dimitrov is believed to be cooperating with Nicholas. The FBI is confident they are quickly getting to the bottom of this horri-" Nicholas bursts into laughter and looks for a new station to listen to. He stops when he comes across a song he loves. "Poor Dimitrov. Knew he was too careless to be trusted with more responsibility," he laughs, strumming his fingers on the steering wheel to the beat of the music.
"Hel-" Selest cries again, this time even closer. "Dammit, what the hell! We shouldn't have let our guards down," Felix curses. Despite his adrenaline urging him forward faster and faster, he stops running to find his bearings. Felix realizes his stupid mistake instantly: he's now in so deep he has no idea where he is. He's been chasing after Selest without even realizing the directions he's been going. The plants all around him feel oddly threatening all of a sudden. "Sh'it... This has to be a trap... I'm running right into it," he thinks, paranoia consuming him. He spins around trying to gain some sense of where he is, but it's just green...everywhere. "Feli-" Selest's cries catches Felix's ears, now more distant.
[] Keep chasing after Selest.
[] Abandon Selest and try finding your way out.
[] Call Melanie and Roberta to come and help.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?
