Sebastian watched a sped up version of the footage he'd received from Gloria's dash cam in his apartment. His phone went off and he answered instantly, not caring to look at the number. "Hello?"
"I need you to take me to the LaitureCorp tower thing tomorrow." Donatello answered.
"Don't you have five hundred other people who can do that?" Sebastian questioned, staying focused on the screen. He wasn't annoyed by the request, just surprised.
"I want someone I trust to take me. I don't want many other people knowing either." Donatello explained.
"Do you really think I'm gonna drive you there after you've told me that?" Sebastian scoffed.
"I'm talking to the guy who locked Elena in a storage closet, right?" Donatello laughed. "And that says a lot considering she's supposed to be your favourite."
Sebastian sighed. "I'm never going to live that down, am I?"
"You will if you help me out." Donatello assured him.
Sebastian gave in. "Fine. But have your phone on hand, I don't trust Landon Laiture or anything so much as associated with him."
"Do you want me to wear a vest too?" Donatello joked and Sebastian rolled his eyes, Donatello could sense Sebastian was annoyed. "I'm sorry. Thank you."
"I'll pick you up at eight." Sebastian specified. Donatello said his goodbyes and hung up. Sebastian placed his phone down beside the laptop he was watching the footage on. He saw an odd figure enter the scene and paused the footage immediately. He stared at the figure, trying to recognise them. The figure was evidently male, judging by the clothing and short hair. The figure couldn't have been Donatello or Alessandro, because he was taller and it couldn't be Lorenzo because the figure had brown hair.
Although Sebastian couldn't identify the person, he was almost sure it was the culprit. The person practically waltzed into the building as if they'd been there before, which matched the initial idea that it was someone who knew the family and had been there before. The only problem was, if it was, how come he couldn't recognise him?
Rafael left his room, making noise as he usually would, but that didn't throw Sebastian off task. Rafael walked over. "Any leads?"
"Yeah." Sebastian showed Rafael the laptop screen. "I think this might be our guy, but I don't know who he is."
"Send it to Zinnia." Rafael suggested. "She's good with that stuff."
Sebastian ignored what he said. He held his hand out, remaining focused on the screen. "Do you still have the key card for the LaitureCorp building?" Sebastian asked as Rafael snickered.
Rafael retrieved the key card and placed it Sebastian's hand. "And what's that for, hmm?"
"It's for Donatello." Sebastian answered honestly, he spun the card around with his fingers.
"...You don't seem in the mood to talk." Rafael sighed, picking up his bag that was dumped by the table. "I get it. I'm going out anyways."
"It's not that. I just really want to get to the bottom of this." Sebastian replied. "But I'll gladly spend time with you later today."
"Alright then, it's settled." Rafael grinned. "As soon as you've gotten everything, call me, we'll head on over to Zinnia's to see if she can identify him."
Sebastian had a small smile on his face. "Sounds like a plan."
Later that morning, Elena, Rita and Leo were walking out of the apartment complex. Elena smirked. "We should just move in permanently." Elena proposed half seriously.
