Fear and Pain pt.37
😋Hello, hope you are having a good day.
"I'll be with you. Always." Mattie whispered. Then she kissed Leo. When they were done, they put the forehead against each other.
"I'm scared. I can feel it in me. It hurts." Leo cried.
"We can get through this together. We have since we met. We will always help each other. Always."
"Always."
"Now lie down and go to sleep. It'll help."
"Fine."
Leo sighed and laid down. He laid Sabrina on her stomach. He put her on his chest. Mattie got up and got to work. Leo and Sabrina went to sleep. Mattie smiled at the two. She grabbed her phone and took a picture. Then she went to the living room where everyone was at. She went to where Mia, Niska, JJ, Laura, and Penelope were talking.
"I have the cutest picture of Leo and Sabrina." Mattie said.
"You have to show us." Penelope answered. Mattie did. "Oh my goodness. They look alike. Sabrina looks like Leo." Then Imogene came over.
"What?" Imogene wondered. Then Mattie showed Imogene the picture. "Oh my goodness. That is so cute."
"I know." Mattie answered.
"How is he?"
"He's sleeping. He's going through withdrawal."
"I know. He's very pale and ill."
"I should go back and watch him. He's so tired."
"Ok."
Mattie got up and went to see Leo. When she went in, Leo and Sabrina were still asleep. She smiled and went to them. She kissed both of them on the forehead. Then she went to take a shower. Half an hour later, she finished. She got dressed and went to see Leo and Sabrina. When she went in, Leo was awake with Sabrina still sleeping on his stomach.
"You don't like to sleep long, do you?" Mattie asked.
"I can't sleep." Leo sighed.
"I know its hard but you have to try."
"I know but I can't. It's the withdrawal. I won't be able to sleep till its over."
"Can you try to eat?"
"Yeah."
"I'll go get you something to eat."
SO Mattie left. When she came back Leo was holding Sabrina who was awake.
"She woke up while you were gone. She's so calm and peaceful. She's barely cries. She's amazing." Leo explained.
"I know. She's the must amazing thing ever." Mattie replied. "Let me help you sit up so you can eat."
"Ok."
So Mattie took Sabrina and put her in her crib. Then she helped Leo sit up. She gave Leo the bowl of soup. Then she went to clean Sabrina. When Leo was done, he gave his bowl to Mattie who went to clean it. Leo laid down. When Mattie came back in, she moaned. She sat down on the bed and tried to relax. Leo sat up and moved so that he was next to her. He winced painfully. He put his arm around her shoulders. Mattie put her head on his shoulder.
"Come get some sleep. We've been through a lot and you look really tired." Leo whispered.
"I feel tired. When you were gone, I didn't sleep at all." Mattie replied.
"Come on then."
SO Leo and Mattie laid down. Mattie curled up against Leo. Leo took the blankets and covered them up. They kissed and were about to go to sleep when Sabrina started crying. Mattie and Leo smiled.
"I'll go get her." Mattie sighed.
"Ok." Leo answered. So Mattie got Sabrina. She laid down and put Sabrina on her lap. Leo wrapped an arm around Mattie. Then she took Sabrina and put her on their lap. "There. Now she's safe." All three went to sleep. For the next week, Leo recovered. Then one day, Leo and Imogene went to see Hobb. Hobb was in an interrogation room. Leo and Imogene went in.
"Well, well, look who it is. My favorite pets." Hobb mocked.
"Why?" Leo wondered.
"Why what?"
"Why did you do this? What changed between you and David? You two were close friends. What happened?"
"Your father was a genius but he was obsessed with his work. When George left, I asked David if I could stay on. He said that I wasn't clever enough. He pushed me out. I was always the minor one in our group. George and David were closer."
"So you did this for what? Money? Fame?"
"No, I did it because I was the one who thought of the idea for conscious synths. George didn't like it. David did. He stole my idea. Your father lied. He was greedy."
"SO are you. How old was I?"
"You would have been 5 or 6. I remember you running into the room to tell your father about the fact you made a perfect score on a math test."
Leo's face paled.
"Your father never knew a thing about you. You can ask him yourself." Hobb said.
"He's not my father and he's dead." Leo answered angrily.
"No. He faked his death. I know where he is."
"In return for what?"
"My release."
"Ok."
"He's in London. Give me a piece of paper. I'll write his address down."
Imogene did. Hobb wrote it down. When he did, Leo took it.
"Thanks. Enjoy your life in prison." Leo thanked.
"You said that you would release me." Hobb replied.
"Well that's not my decision and I said ok not I'll do it. I thought you knew your vocabulary."
Then Imogene and Leo left.
"Do you believe him?" Imogene wondered.
"Who knows. It's at least worth checking out." Leo sighed.
"Ok."
So Garcia checked it out.
"Leo, Hobb was right. Your father is alive." Garcia answered.

What do you think will happen? Tell me your thoughts. P.S. Someone else returns. This is the last we see of Hobb but not Karen. Now Leo's going to have his turn with her.😋
