Sorta-daily NaNo check in: plot is progressing, and Lionheart and Kid embark on a big heist together!  …And nearly botch said heist when the owner of the safe they’re breaking into unexpectedly comes back–

“Look, one of us needs to make it
back!  And Evans knows you—go, Lionheart!  I’ll be fine!
I’ll find a place to hide!”

But Lionheart didn’t budge.

“Leon, go!” Kid said, using his real
name to invoke the urgency of the situation.
“Your opportunity to get out is limited; if you don’t–”

Lionheart snapped out of his daze,
grabbed the rest of the papers on the floor and stuffed them into the safe; he
then grabbed the tools in one arm and Kid in the other, and dragged him under
Evans’s desk.
