He grabs paper and wants to start with an outline. Simone urges him to really think through this idea before he goes into it. Does he really want to revisit all these bad childhood memories? Leo says he will for a lot of money. Simone agrees to help him with the first chapter, then see where it goes from there. Leo promises she'll be hooked after she gets into it. He starts telling her stories from his past and she writes them down. Soon he has her laughing at his stories. She comments, however, that it is sad his mother put him through all this. How must he have felt when he learned she was a major drug lord, she wonders. Leo says that's when he realizes that his mother was conning him as well as other people. As he continues telling her stories, Simone says they need more. She says readers will want to know what was going on in Proteus's head. Leo remembers how his mother told him she would be lost without me. Now he can see how lost she was. Simone tells Leo not to go into all this. Leo gets up and walks out. He later breaks into a doctor's office and finds his mother's file. He starts looking through it.
