The boy quickly retrieved the black box and scampered away before Lefo could get up. Already the crowds were covering well for the boy and Lefo thought the better of it rather than giving chase. He now had more reason than one to go to his contact to the Center Piece, but for some reason he felt very worried about something.
In his line of work, being worried meant that it was a good thing. It shows what the next possible bad thing might happen and how one might think up of ways to counter it. Usually he calls up his field to assess the situation, he found no good reason to drop his habit now. The synchronicity field around him flickered and the crowds seemed to part away, forming a path to somewhere he knew so well. The scene went back to normal again as Lefo gasped.
Lefo hoisted his bag as he ran towards EV's lab. Somehow he had a bad feeling about this and he couldn't shake the feeling that the box and Sal's death were interconnected somehow. The fact that his "field of bad vibes" showed its way towards EV's lab suggested that something dreadful was about to happen and that he had to be there quick to warn her.
Other than that, Lefo wasn't sure what else he could do if trouble got to her first before he did.
