> Take the pistol away, then chuck him in the car and tell him to get some sleep there.
Rina successfully snatches the gun out of Leon's hand. Leon whirls in surprise.
"Hey, that's mine!"
"Get in the car!" Rina shouts, pushing Leon to Rasha's vehicle. He seems suddenly free of agitation, as if Rina's intervention calms him down. "Listen to me, we can't have any of this crap, understand? We cannot bring attention to ourselves at this time!" Leon grunts and opens the back door, slumping onto the seat with a pouty attitude. Rina groans in frustration and scratches her scalp, pacing a bit away from the vehicle. She suddenly comes to realize something and goes back to Leon. "Did you say 'voices'?"
"Yeah, I did," Leon replies, throwing his head down onto the cushioned seating and closing his baggy eyes as if trying to sleep.
"What did they say?"
"I don't know. It was all whispers and shit. I don't care. I'm going to sleep."
"It's the Darkness, Leon. They're talking to you!" Leon shrugs and turns his face away from Rina. "Don't listen to a thing they say, you understand me? They are trying to manipulate your emotions...trying to fill you with doubt and fear."
"Bunch of crud," he mumbles, flipping his body around so that he is facing the seating. Rina turns to Rasha, a look of defeat on her face.
"Alright," he starts, stifling a laugh, "let's go, huh?"
Rasha drives them down to the community center. Dusk is starting to set in. Rina turns and sees Leon still in the same position, deep in sleep. Rasha parks next to the curb and they both leave the vehicle. Rina takes one look at the building and nods.
"This is it," she says. Rasha gives her a concerned look.
"You want to go in on your own? Probably best for me to keep an eye on your brother."
