Entry 27. June 13, 2009.
[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?
