2 months later, Arturo's personality and behavior started to changed and everyone in the agency and outside of the agency started to notice it, except Walter. Employees started to complained to Joy or Lance or whatever they think it's in charge or something? that Arturo was actually treated them badly and his behavior towards them and apparently he was a history of firing people just because he personally didn't like them or treated Walter badly.


One time Walter told Arturo that last year or two-three years before he met Lance, employee's didn't treat Walter with open welcome when he first started working at the H.T.U.V. They've ignored him, didn't think his non-violence gadgets could change the world, and they've walked past him when Walter wanted to talk or some them his gadgets, and that was very hurtful for him. This made Arturo very angry at them, he wanted to pay for what they did to hurt Walter.


So he called in like, 10, 13, or even 17 people who Walter say they the one who made him feel like he's nothing. After a few minutes or a short time later, Arturo fired all of them. The 17 employees were shocked and sadden that they've just lost their jobs, but Arturo don't care. They ask him why? and Arturo said that they all treated someone (he didn't say Walter's name) badly and he will NOT tolerated bullying here at work. He ask them to leave or he'll called security, so they all leave with all their belongings with them. Arturo felt good, he felt power and control.


At this point, a lot of people, including Lance, Marcy, Eyes, and Ears started to warning Walter about Arturo, a lot of people were worried about him, and wanted to protect Walter from him, they were just getting bad vibes. But Walter doesn't believed them, they didn't cared about him back then, and now all of a sudden they do? He didn't want to hear anything from them, not even from Lance.


Last week, one of the employees that work at the agency, was sent to Arturo's apartment to pick up some important paperwork that was delivered to his apartment, and when he got there, this place seemed a bit creepy, but looked normal. Then, he noticed what looks like a mannequin that is wearing clothes and sitting on the couch. He gets closer to the mannequin and what he saw give him chills. The mannequin is no ordinary mannequin...this mannequin has Walter's face on it. Arturo bought this mannequin, takes it home, and created Walter's face as though it look a lot like Walter but different.


This freaked the employee out and wanted to get the hell outta there, but couldn't cause he needed the paperwork. He turned around and saw Arturo standing there with a not-so happy look on his face. The employee told him he came for the paperwork, so Arturo brought the paperwork to him and ask him to leave, and so he left.


The next day, the employee who went to Arturo's apartment told Lance about the incident he saw.

Employee: Lance, it's very scary...there's a Walter mannequin in his apartment.


Lance was furious at Arturo and very concerned for Walter. He went to Walter's lab and told him everything. Walter doesn't know what to say or what to think of it? He told Lance he'll talk with Arturo about that after work, Lance has doubts about it, but he'll hope Walter get through Arturo?


Lance wasn't the only friend who is very concerned about Arturo's hold on Walter, Marty starts to noticed it too. 2 days ago, Marty went out with Arturo and Walter for dinner and Marty notice that Arturo has his arm around Walter the entire time as through he has his hooks into Walter.


Then Arturo started to shouted at the waiter for flirting with Walter even through the waiter wasn't, he was just asking Walter what he wants to eat? Marty thinks that Arturo is possessive and controlling to Walter, but Walter didn't see it that way and that's frustrated to him. After dinner, Arturo said he has to do some paperwork and so he left, leaving Marty and Walter to talk.


Marty
: Walter...we need to talk.

Walter: What is it?

Marty: Have you noticed that Arturo is acting differently?

Walter: What do you mean?

Marty: I mean like his behavior recently.

Walter: He told me he's in a lot of stress of all the work he's been doing lately.


But that's not what Marty meant.


Marty: I'm really nervous he's gonna hurt you.

Walter: Hurt me what?

Marty: Like hurt you hurt you?

Walter: He will never hurt me, don't worry about it.


But Marty doesn't believe that. As they walked towards Walter's house, Marty was about to leave and say goodbye. As he hugged Walter, he said to Walter.


Marty: Walter, I'm really scared for you.

Walter: 자신을 돌봐 (Take care yourself in Korean)

Marty knew what he saying because both he and Walter watched Korean soap operas, so they started to learn to speak Korean.

Marty: Walter, 자신을 돌봐 (Take care yourself in Korean)


Walter giggled and said.


Walter: You worried too much.

After that, Walter says goodbye and went inside. Marty starts walking home, hoping this feeling he has would disappeared.
