Lisa: Kaid, why did you take those documents from Harold's office earlier? You taking things that don't belong to you without consent is wrong.
Kaid: Those documents indicated Harold was stealing some of the products we are producing. We need to show them to our supervisor, so it can be handled appropriately and prevent this from happening again. I'm playing Alucard's game. I know it was wrong to take them without telling him, but we can't just let him get away with this.
Lisa: Agreed...
