Suzy reached into her space and pulled out an axe.
Leonard took it from her, gripping the handle firmly. He gave a small nod. "Don't worry."
He stepped up to the door and opened it.
With the security door still closed, he faced the man outside through the metal bars.
"What do you want?" Leonard's voice was cool, distant.
The man seemed taken aback when he saw him. A flicker of unease crossed his face.
"Uh… is Erik here?" he asked.
"Erik?" Leonard frowned. "There's no one by that name here."
The man glanced at the apartment number, confusion written across his face. "Ah… maybe I got the wrong place."
Under Leonard's steady gaze, he forced an awkward smile. "Sorry about that. I'll be going."
Leonard gave a curt nod and shut the door.
"Well?" Suzy stepped forward immediately.
"He said he was looking for someone," Leonard replied. "But something felt off."
Suzy was already staring at her phone. The surveillance feed still glowed on the screen.
