"No seriously Ray, Leon's acting very strange lately."
It was the middle of the night, and David Hassid was, once again, at his computer, indulging in a secret whispered conversation with his Christian brethren back at the safe house.
"What's new?" Tonight, it had been Ray's turn to answer David's call.
"He's really starting to freak me out now. Just yesterday he was asking me for every security video containing Hattie Durham, complete with audio. I mean, freaky or what?"
"Or what indeed? Maybe he's onto us." Ray's voice lowered to a rough whisper.
David grimaced.
"Ray, quit acting like you're in a cheesy spy movie. He's not 'onto us'. There's nothing on that tape that would tell him where the safe house is. Unless I left the home video of Kenny and Chloe in there…Oh no! I'm going to have get it back."
David rapidly hung up and half-ran to Leon's office. He composed himself, and tentatively swung open the door.
"Leon, I need one of those….videos…" David whispered, just in case Leon was still there. He trailed off, as he noticed that Leon was there, shredding one of the security videos of Hattie. For about six horrible seconds, David thought that Leon had shredded the video of Kenny and his mother. If he had, Chloe would first kill David, then come marching up to the GC complex for Leon.
David quickly looked around. A sigh of relief escaped his lips as he noticed the video of the Williamses was lying on a desk, only a few feet away from him. He was ready to mutter an excuse, but Leon hadn't noticed his entrance. He was so engrossed in the destruction of the videos, he didn't even notice that he was muttering to himself.
"Why did she get him and I didn't? What has that blonde tart got that I haven't?"
David decided he'd be better off not knowing anything about this, grabbed his video, and silently slipped out of the door.
