Lurking In The Shadows
Leo's heart sank as he received the news of Klaus being sentenced to twenty-five years in prison. Though he couldn't save Klaus from public judgment, he was determined to prevent further harm from befalling his friend.
Thinking quickly, Leo devised a plan to enlist the help of Anderson, a resourceful ally known for his skills in deception. He urged Anderson to impersonate Klaus before he was sent to prison, or alternatively, to fabricate a compelling narrative and fake Klaus's death. Leo carefully explained the steps to Anderson, ensuring that he understood the gravity of the situation, and then abruptly ended the call.
Returning home, Leo wasted no time in packing his belongings. He knew he couldn't spend another night in the address known to the entire world; it would be a fatal mistake. Determined to protect himself, he swiftly relocated to one of the many secure properties owned by the Underworld, ensuring his safety and anonymity.
