Jack takes his phone from his pocket. He calls Skyler, his breath frantic.
"Where are you?" Asks Jack.
"I have no idea, I turned a corner, and you were gone," replies Skyler.
Jack proceeds to tell Skyler about Cole. Skyler begins to tear up. He manages to hold it together.
"Can you make it back to the street?" Asks Jack.
"I think so," replies Skyler.
Skyler hangs up and begins making his way back towards the street. The poorly lit becomes brighter as he realises he's making his way back. He breathes a sigh of relief. Although he can't seem to come to grips with what happened to Cole just moments ago.
He bumps into Jay as he turns the corner. The two embrace in a quick hug as Skyler fills Jay in on what happened to Cole. Jay is visibly shaken and nervous. The two agree to stick together until they reach the rest of the group.
"Have you seen Mandy?" Asks Jay.
Skyler shakes his head.
"She got lost in the crowd, I think."
The pair continued walking back toward the main city. They finally reach the street from before. They reach the alley where the attack happened. They see police and reporters scowering the street.
They look at each other, still worried for the rest of the group. Suddenly, Jack and Quinn appear behind them. Ebrace is given all round.
"Has you guys seen Mandy?" Asks Jay.
They both shake their head. Jay can't fathom the idea of Mandy being out there alone. Not knowing what could or has happened to her. Jay attempts to dial her phone, but it goes straight to voicemail.
"Fuck sake," he continues, "voicemail"
Jay tucks his phone back into his pocket.
"I have to find her," says Jay.
The group agrees. Jack takes out his phone and hopes to Mandy through location. As long as she has her location on, it should be easy.
"There. She's heading back towards the library," he says.
The group rushed back to her location. They find Mandy sitting on the steps outside. Her head was buried into her knees. Jay quickly runs to her, wrapping his arms tightly around her. Mandy breathes her biggest sigh of relief. Jay spontaneously kisses her. She reciprocates.
The rest of the group and clap politely.
"About time," says Skyler.
Jay smiles momentarily before remembering Cole. The group hatched an idea to go to the hospital and see what information Cole might be able to give them.
They make their way to the hospital. The lights from the top of the hospital sign light up the sky. "General Hospital"
The group make their way inside. Skyler approaches the reception desk.
"I'm looking for my friend, Cole," he says.
The receptionist types his name into the computer.
"I have one Cole that has been admitted tonight." She continues, "but it says no visitors until morning."
"Ok, thank you," replies Skyler.
He makes his way back to the group who are now sitting in the lobby, waiting for admission. Skyler shakes his head at the group, letting them know that it is a no-go.
"Ok, fuck this" says Jack.
"What do we do?" Asks Skyler.
"No more running," Jack continues, "We find him, trap him, and kill him."
Skyler smiles widly.
"I like that plan," he says.
"We have to go back to the start," Jack continues, "Back to the library."
