Re: Quicklog, Ocean's 11: Lin A, Louis D, Neil D, Zatanna Z
[Neil was already present, but out of sight. Louis was expecting Lin, no one else, and he knew once he and Zatanna revealed themselves the pretense would be over. There was no telling how his brother would react; it could go badly. That was a distinct possibility. But events had recently escalated and left them no other choice. Something was very wrong with Louis; memory loss and insomnia and the ability to do things that shouldn't be possible. Floods and a touch that could put people to sleep, not to mention suspicions that he might even be involved in a bizarre murder. No, a normal doctor couldn't fix this. A hospital couldn't help.
Hopefully, this Zatanna woman could.
He heard Louis arrive, through the door in the bedroom closest to the living room. So far, nothing seemed to be amiss. As long as Lin could get him inside and keep him there, surely it would be fine. It had to be fine. Even if Louis didn't understand now, he would later. Hand on the doorknob, ear pressed against the wood, he listened. Waited.]
