     Bobby: Who's that?  Is somebody with you?
     (Insert Shot: SOMEBODY (large) STEPS BEHIND A TREE OUT OF SIGHT)
     Leo: (without looking): Never mind.

     Leo obviously knew there was somebody with him - and it was either
     Jaques or Bernie Renault (they who run the drugs over from Canada
     to Leo and Leo who gives the drugs to Bobby and Mike to sell at the
     high school).  

     Watch the episode - or at least the scene - again.

     First of all: it's a silly idea.  The drug deal has nothing to do
     with Jacoby and everything to do with the Renault brothers.  

     And more relevantly: in 2001, in the hospital bed, Jacoby spilled
     all his beans to Cooper, "doctor patient confidentiality" notwithstanding
     and he never mentioned that he had followed Leo on any other 
     occasion.  

     As I said, you should watch the episode again, IMO.  Your memory seems
     a little, and understandably, rusty with time.
