[x] Simply walk away.
"He's not worth it. Stay cool. He deserves the beating he has coming, but it's just not worth it. Walk away."
Felix says nothing, turns around and walks away. Melanie catches pace with him and asks what happened. "Nothing. I returned the camera and Stan thanked me with his usual obscenity," Felix says, annoyed. "Are you okay? You seem really upset Felix," Melanie asks, concerned.
"I'm fine, really. I'll cool down now that I'm away from that trash.
"Okie. I don't want you stressing over that poor excuse for a man. He's not worth it."
"Yeah, that's what everyone was saying."
"...huh? Who?"
"Oh...er, I mean, you know, that's what everyone says about him in this town: He's not worth it."
"Ah. Silly, you made it seem like people had been talking to you recently."
"Heh. Anyway, now we really have to decide what to do Mel. My dad seemed really depressed when we left. And we just watched a video that was recorded by the man who stole my dad's diary-"
"It was a diary he took?"
"Oh, yeah. I forgot I hadn't told you about it yet. It was my dad's personal diary that the burglar stole."
"Weeeeiiird."
"And it seems like Dad was blackmailed and/or convinced, perhaps, by that video. The note has to be a meeting time. I wonder who wants to talk to Dad so badly. And what about... Wait. Melanie, did I put the note back in the box with the tape?"
"Oooh god Felix...I don't know. I panicked when I heard your dad's car door."
"Crap. I can't remember putting it back in. Just the tape. If I forgot it, it's still lying on Dad's bed. He'll know I found the tape."
"Should we go back? Maybe he hasn't gone upstairs yet?"
"There's always a chance I guess. But if we go back and he's already found it, who knows what could happen."
It's around 7 PM. Felix and Melanie debate about what to do. They're both now into something curious and dangerous without a clue what's happening. The sun starting to set signals the beginning of the end on a day gone wrong. A crow caws overhead.
[] Go back home and try hiding the note before Chad sees it.
[] Head to Melanie's house and think things over there.
[] Head to the local restaurant and think things over there.
[] Tell Melanie to get away from all of this before it's too late.
What are the voices inside Felix's head telling him to do?
