Allen face, dark patterns appeared on his face when he heard of the plan.
"This is a fucking lie, why should Leslie work as a maid, can't you come up with another plan or something?
"That's the best plan son.
"Then I'm going with her.
"You can't be serious.
"I can't leave her all alone, Becky killed her father and wants her dead what if she finds out?
"Leslie will make it out, have you forgotten who she is?
"It's still not safe, you can't win a war walking into the enemy's territory unarmed.
"She's not unarmed.
"Will she carry a fucking gun then?! even with a gun she can't still win against hundreds of them, no matter how strong she is.
"Let's hope for the best.
"That's still not an assurance, I'm going with Leslie.
"Son try to listen (his phone rings)...can we continue this conversation tomorrow?
"But she's leaving tomorrow.
"Tomorrow son, Godfather picks the call, Allen frustrated, had to leave.

They prepared Leslie in earnest, Leslie who had straight blonde hair had to dye her hair black and curl it, they made some touches to make her different, to make her unrecognisable to whoever knew her.
Godfather had planned for the mission to be discreet, after the incident at the club he doesn't seem to fully trust anyone. Only a handful number of trusted people were present.
"I'm going too, Allen adjusts his backpack prepared to leave.
"You are not going anywhere, your mum left you in my care.
"For fuck sake Dad, I'm going with Leslie
"You don't have to, Leslie walked in, looking beautiful and most importantly different, she had been listening to their conversation waiting for the right time to speak.
"Leslie, Allen said softly.
"You don't have to look out for me.
"I have to.
"And why?
"Because I love you, Leslie I have always loved you.
"Find someone better.
"Lesl-
"-I'll cause you pain, find someone better, a normal woman with no dark past.
"Everyone has a dark past.
"Mine is worse Allen, meet someone better, be happy.
"Why are you sounding like you won't come back alive?
Leslie didn't answer him, she gave Godfather a quick hug and Allen, Jiji who was there also got a hug.
"I never knew Shadow offers hug, Jiji gave her another hug before leaving.
"Stay safe, advised Godfather, Allen trying to adjust his feelings, Leslie nods her head in response, the tinted Jeep zooming off.
