The moment the question was spoken by Leon, Ecuti's face quickly turned into filled with fear. Leon did not know what the fear for, but he could not care for it as he was more caring about the truth that he really wanted to obtain.
"Tell me, Ecuti, do you know this man before we met him near the town's gate?"
Ecuti did not answer and her face showed confusion, which Leon assumed for contemplating on the answer she would give him, finding the right excuse. As it prolonged the moment for answer, which made him to wait, and with a possibility of betrayal, Leon's anger suddenly became uncontrollable as was shown with him repeating the question again, yet, in a more intimidating way.
"TELL ME ECUTI! DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN!? WERE YOU THE ONE THAT LET SLIP OF OUR PLACE OF HIDING TO HIM!?"
Leon saw how Ecuti became scared of him and he did not care. If she truly had betrayed him, he wanted her to feel the fear.
