you ever knock?" His raspy morning voice asks as he rises into a seating position and massages his aching neck.

"Do I even need to." Lloyd replied as he goes for the windows and drags the big curtains apart, allowing sun light into the room.

Gabriel winces and tries to block the light out using the back of his palm.

Lloyd Snickers at the sight but wastes no time in approaching Gabriel's bed, handing him the brown envelope he had collected from Bill, Gabriel's assistant.

"What is this?" Gabriel questions, brows furrowing at the envelope as he reaches for it.

The news was surprising to Gabriel who hadn't had any contact with Leonica's family after their divorce. He had tried contacting and talking to them several times in the past hoping to get information on where Leonica may be, however neither of them had bothered to contact him back, so he eventually gave up on trying to contact them and went for the closest alternative.
