Why Tell Me Now?

However, just as Lenny was about to spin the Wheel, his fingers, about to add that last effort, he heard Agent 'X' voice, "are you aware that she is still alive."

This was a very calculated move. One that was set at exactly the right moment lenny was about to spin the Wheel. 

Unfortunately, even Lenny, although a man like no other, was still a man. those words interrupted the follow of energuy in his body as it increased the spike of blood flow due to shock and therefore, he mistakenly put too much energy as required to spin the wheel. 

The Wheel spun but Lenny's eyes were not on it. 

Instead, he turned to Agent 'X' with a very fierce look in his eyes, "what do you mean? Catherine is..."

Agent 'X' suddenly chuckled, a knowing smile on his face, "Got you...!" He laughed some more, "...whoever said anything about Catherine? I only said that she was still alive."
