Hey, Elliott, it’s Leon—I know this is probably going to sound a little abrupt and weird, but can you check on my office for me? It’s just…

[With two new Black Order members in town right after Teresa’s death and in the middle of the investigation, Leon’s a little—on edge. He still remembers Teresa rifling through his papers, and while that hadn’t come to anything in the end, the anxiety still lingers.]

I just wanna make sure it’s still locked, that’s all. Pretty sure I double-locked it, actually, but with new people showing up…you never know.

[He wants to trust the new guys. He really does.

But the timing…]

[fiddlestick]

Check on your office?

[That IS a weird request, but you know what? He gets it. He has anxiety about this on a daily basis so]

Sure! I can check for you after work tonight. But I'll need your address.

[sg09r]

[The address Leon provides is in the nice but affordable part of town, in an apartment building that’s well-maintained.]

There’s a bodega on the corner of the street, so if you see that then you’re on the right track. You don’t need to go inside, just check if the door’s unlocked. That’s all.

[A tired sigh.]

Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but after Teresa went sniffing through my papers, I’m. A little wary.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, it's okay. I understand the paranoia. I can't tell you the number of times I got to my driveway and then thought "did I leave my door unlocked?" and it won't leave until I check.

I'll check after work today and let you know, promise.

[sg09r]

Thanks. Really. It’s been needling at me since Douman showed up—it’s probably nothing, I hope it’s nothing.

[But Leon doesn’t like the timing of Douman and Dickson’s arrival here. Maybe they’re trustworthy, he hopes they are, but something about them, Dickson in particular…]

We’re doing fine out here. Except, uh, for Husk and Jinwoo—they’re fine physically, their tent just got set on fire the first day and it’s kind of gone downhill from there.
