It's Katie

Ryder takes the paper from Nate, not hesitating to go down the hall to Scott. All it was now, was another waiting game - for Sapphire to get the results, for Rick to confirm the blood analysis, and for Scott to check the web address...

Scott's eyes never leave the computer screen. His eyes hurt and his head hurt from staring at the computer for so long, but he couldn't stop now. It took a while, but he was finally able to confirm security, making sure that when visiting the site given, no one would be able to hack into their own system. But when he saw what was on the screen, his heart leapt into his throat.

He chokes on his own breath, and puts a hand up to cover his mouth. "Oh no..." Shutting the screen quickly, he grabs the piece of paper again, and jogs to Nate's cubicle. His face was as pale as a ghost. "Nate..." He swallows hard and holds out the piece of paper. "It's Katie."


Jason slouches in the passenger seat, just trying to breathe for the ride back to TJY. Trooper is uncomfortable with a prisoner in the back, Jason acting strangely, and the newcomer behind the steering wheel. He gives a whine and a little groan, refraining from barking, but making his displeasure known.

He leans forward with his face over the seat, showing his teeth for a moment at Phinox. A brief but low growl follows.

"Take it easy on him," Jason manages quietly. He reaches up to set a hand on Trooper's head to calm him down. "He's on our side."

Trooper gives a little groan, but relaxes, resting his chin on the seat in front of him.

Jason sinks further down in his seat, the pain in his chest increasing. His breathing had become labored and he couldn't stop the wheezing now. Trying to think straight, he lets Phinox worry about getting them back to TJY and goes for his phone instead. Closing his eyes, he leans his head back, trying to relax. Hearing an answer to his call, he manages to speak weakly. "Rick?"

"Jason? What's wrong?"

"We're coming back... be ready for me, alright?"

"Alright, Hotshot. Hang in there, okay? How far are you away?"

"Not far. Give us another ten minutes."

"I'll be ready." Rick decides not to say now, how thins had progressed in the office. It would be best for Jason to get calm first before anything more was thrown at him.

Jason hangs up his phone, wincing as his headache worsens. He just wanted to get back.
