You forgot Leon the Leon-tamer was even here to begin with.
“…Wait, are you thinking what I’m thinking?” You have come to a realization! Of course, the solution was right here all along!
“I’m the one proposing it, so yes.” Vanessa is on the same wavelength as you are.
“Then let’s get to it!” You raise your fists to improve morale. Seeing you confident, Marcela decides to go along!
This plan cannot possibly fail!
…
<span class="mu-s">5 Minutes later.</span>
“T-This isn’t what I had in mind at all!” Vanessa is dumbstruck! Wait. Liberating the Leon-Tamer to help out wasn’t part of the plan? “I was too distracted by the comradery of the moment to realize it!”
“<span class="mu-i">Ah?</span>” You take the shackle from the criminal’s foot. Leon is free to go!
“I’ve been asking for the last 5 minutes why we're helping this guy out!” Marcela is actually furious.
“My plan was to bribe Bombastus’ assistant with cake!” Ex-Lt. van Zullekom had a sensible plan for once.
“But how does this guy come into the plan?” You were on the same wavelength, right?! Working by yourself has made you dumber…
“He does not!” Vanessa shakes her head rapidly.
“Then why did nobody stop me…?” Man, you’re dumb.
“Does that mean I don’t need to help you?” Leon rubs his wrists.
“You actually do.” You crack your knuckles.
“Very well.” Leon isn’t going to try to fight it out.
“How is he gonna help?!” Marcela loses her patience.
“Little girl, don’t underestimate me. The Leontamer always gets his man! Or in this case, his woman.” Leon plays with his mustache. “Your cake made me have a change of heart, Officer Kobashi. I won’t be pulling any tricks, I’m at your service. What exactly do you need?”
Vanessa takes control of the situation and explains in detail what’s going on. She has always been pretty good at briefings, her position demanded it.
“Chasing… ghosts? How quaint.” Leon likes the idea. “Leave it to me, I’ll get my claws on the matter and solve it quickly!”
With a confident smirk, a ridiculous haircut and one mission in mind, Leon the Leon-tamer walks away in pursuit of Dorothy.
…
“Did we just let a criminal roam the streets?” You think you should’ve supervised him…
“Kobashi…” Marcela grabs your arm. “I think you’re a moron.”
“Aah?!” Every single person you’ve known has told you that, and it never stops stinging…
