"Is he trying to force Skyler to cough up the antidote?" Aurelia squinted slightly, her eyes revealing a razor-sharp edge.
"If I'm not mistaken, he's not just looking to detox Megan, and it's also because he's pissed off to high heaven. He probably thinks he's the bee's knees in creating bio-weapons, pressing everyone else's nose to the grindstone, but he can't even crack the poison his own despised brother cooked up. This is a slap in the face to his authority and smarts, and he can't stand it."
Skyler perked up at this, "Angel, does that mean I'm better than Geoffrey?"
Aurelia's smile was gentle, "You've always been better than Geoffrey. Evil can never overcome justice."
"Right, I'm the messenger of justice." Skyler grinned broadly.
Leopold spoke in a deep voice, "For now, you all better stay indoors and just have fun at home."
William whispered, "Actually, Skyler and I went out on purpose, trying to draw Geoffrey out. We thought we might have been wrong, that Geoffrey wasn't tailing Skyler after all. But it turns out he had Skyler's moves down pat, like a shadow."
Leopold ruffled his hair, "Next time, you gotta tell me and your mom first, no more going rogue."
"Okay." William nodded, "We wore tiny cameras made by Kane. Let's check the footage later for any clues."
Aurelia massaged her temples, suddenly feeling like she was not as smart as a three-year-old.
After dropping Skyler off at the villa, Aurelia and Leopold took William back to the Stirling Mansion.
Leopold pulled up the surveillance video captured by the tiny tiger lapel pin camera.
As a teacher in artificial intelligence and cutting-edge tech for Kane, Leopold was an undisputed king in his domain.
"Dad, the madman came on foot, no car, no bus or subway, so he must live nearby." Kane analyzed.
