Mirror

Jade grins a little but doesn't look up. "Thanks. I'll try." Moving towards the dining hall, she turns for just a moment to throw Dan a smile before spinning back around and continuing her route.


Jason sighs about Kyle. "Yeah but... I don't know. I wish he'd at least stay in touch... and he could search the rest of his life. I don't understand why he's pulled away from everyone, especially his family. I..." His voice trail off suddenly and he looks down at Katie. "Hey... how did you know we were talking about that?" He knew he had not intentionally fed that information to her.

"You guys gonna talk all night?"Wyatt interrupts. "Or are we going to contact Mick like we're supposed to?"

Jason smirks at him and lets Katie go. "Yeah, yeah. Come on, let's get set up." He still throws her a glance, warning that he wasn't done with this conversation.



Mick paces in the quiet dining hall after supper and after getting BJ tucked into bed. The police had no leads, so now he was counting on the small Elite team to help.

"Hey, Mick, you around?"

Mick jumps, sliding back to the chair in front of the computers and headset. He quickly dons the mic. "Wyatt?"

"You're good."

Mick chuckles. "No, I just knew that wasn't Jason's voice."

It's Wyatt's turn to laugh. "Hang on a sec." He flips a few switches and turns on the tiny camera that someone would wear when they went out. "What do you think of our room?"

Mick looks to one of the monitors and sees the hotel room, and Jason and Katie off to the side. "Looks cozy."

Wyatt gives a whoop. "Scott's a genius. Any news for us?"

"Nope. Talked to the police and Dylan's mother. Both had nothing to say. They still don't want me involved - think I'll make things worse. But I think they were telling the truth about no new news."

"That's what we've heard too. We got the info on where the cops have been searching, so at least we won't be doubling up and wasting our time once we get out there."

"When will that be?"

"When we get the word from the boss. Until then, we sit tight and play tidlywinks."

Mick grins and starts to answer when Jade catches the corner of his eye. He waves her still, to let her know that now wasn't a good time, and shakes his head.

"You still there?"

"Yeah, sorry."

Jade's shoulders drop. She was glad her dad was in contact with the Elite, but now she still couldn't talk to him.Turning around, she goes back out into the chilly night, wandering to the familiar hay bale at the barn. Sitting down, she just looks up at the starry sky, wishing she didn't feel so alone.


Kip puts his hands on his hips. "How can it be imposing when I asked you to come? Be there. No one will mind."

Heading to the door, he gives a final wave to Karla, then to Rin too, with a silly grin. "See you both later then."


Eli sees his sister in the mirror, and he knows that she just wants to help. He was the leader - the big brother - but he also knew that sometimes he needed help too. "Yeah, okay," he relents. "Just take it easy on me."

Getting back to the house, Eli is slow to get inside, now realizing how sore he was going to be. Gingerly taking off his jacke, he eases down on the couch, giving Ryan enough room to clean him up.
