[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?
