Leo saved his game to Memory Card 1. Then he turned off the console, unplugged the USB drive, and tossed it in a drawer.
Then he did something unexpected. He walked to his shelf, pulled out a shoebox labeled “OLD GAMES,” and rummaged past cracked Xbox cases. At the bottom, under a manual for The Getaway: Black Monday , was the original disc.
