Entry 54. June 17, 2009.
[x] Go chat with Nicholas Lezoa.
"Huh? Why would you want me to talk with him? I doubt he's even playing that big of role in things now that the FBI has taken over. Well, I suppose it can't hurt."
Though not entirely sure why, Felix decides to kill more time by chatting with Nicholas at the local police station. Around 2 PM, when Felix gets to the station, he notices Nicholas outside picking weeds. Felix walks up behind him and taps him on the shoulder. Nicholas spins around and draws his gun, aiming it right at Felix. He quickly lowers it when he realizes who it is. "Jesus, Felix... You should be more careful," Nicholas says, putting his gun away. Felix stands there, speechless for a moment. "A little jumpy?" Felix manages to say. "No, no... I guess, uhm, oh I don't know. Bad reflex," he answers.
"So how can I help you?"
"Just passing by. Why are you weeding the place? Can't you hire someone to do it?"
"No sense in hiring someone for something I can do."
"You're that bored? Couldn't you be like...patrolling the town or something?"
"Gledenberg isn't exactly high risk. Besides, already have someone out doing that."
"I see... Mind if I help then?"
"You want to help me weed?"
"Yeah, why not. I need to do something to pass the time."
"Be my guest."
Felix gets down and starts pulling weeds with Nicholas and attempts to get some information.
"Sure has been a crazy week for a low risk town, eh?"
"First time in my service I've ever seen any murders happen."
"Heard anything about them recently?"
"If you're trying to get information out of me, it's not going to work."
"Haha... No, I'm just curious. It was my dad after all."
"Always thought he was a good man... It still scares me."
"So where did the FBI take him anyway? I suppose he's already far away?"
"Nah. They're actually holding him in the Trissany Police Station for now. It looks like they've found him quite useful."
"And how's that?"
"Helping us pick out the people involved in that whole NewFuture conspiracy. Crazy stuff. Not going to go into detail, though."
"So how's Patrick?"
"He's better. He'll make a full recovery easily. Not like he has anything to look forward to besides prison."
"Why's that?"
"Haha, I wonder. That's what happens when you're the mastermind of a plot to kill someone."
"Lizor?"
"Yeah. Those nutjobs had guns, layouts of the NewFuture building and bunches of notes of people's schedules and stuff. They were definitely planning something. Sheesh. And you wouldn't believe the stuff we found in one guy's van."
Nicholas stops, realizing he already probably said more than he should have.
"What did you find?"
"Now, now Felix. I can't tell you that. In fact, you should forget what I just told you. Let us handle it."
"Can't help but be curious, you know? They tried dragging me into this mess."
"Well don't you worry about those guys anymore. They won't be getting in anyone's way again."
As Nicholas says that, Felix looks over and notices a very strange smile on his face. They finish with the weeds not long after, and Nicholas receives a call on his cell and tells Felix he has to go. As Felix walks away, he wonders if he's just reading into that comment too much. "What did he mean by that... Getting in anyone's way? Dang, I'm going crazy. Everyone sounds so suspicious. I've become paranoid," he says to himself. Wandering around the quiet streets of Gledenberg, with no purpose but to kill time and enjoy the beautiful day, Felix notices an eerily familiar van parked two blocks ahead. "Sh'it. No way," he says, ducking behind a tree.
[] Sneak up to the van and investigate.
[] Keep walking and pass by casually.
[] Turn the corner and walk away from it.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?
