"Oh, look, here comes the hero." replied Eve sarcastically. "At least she didn't say Floyd." said Griffin. Just then Peter approaches them with eagerness. "I am so sorry about yesterday; I saw your texts and messages." said Peter. "They're both the same thing, and dude, I asked questions, asked, like hey Peter, are you alive? You didn't say anything, how do you think that makes me feel." said Jim.  "Dead." replied Griffin. "What? No!" replied Jim. "If you asked him are you alive and if he didn't reply, that means he's dead." said Jim. "What? Are you nine?" asked Jim. "Then what? Should he reply he's dead to let you know he's dead?" yells Griffin. "Even if he did type, there's that thing that says…" said Jim before getting interrupted by Peter. "Guys, guys, I am not dead, okay? But I saw them okay? Last night I saw both Katherine and Fathima, they're alive." said Peter. "Now you got be really concerned about you being dead." replied Griffin. "Dude." replied Jim. "He's right." Added Eve as she goes through her phone. "What?" asked Ilayda. "Katherine, I guess, they found her in the woods, she's in the general hospital now." replied Eve. "What about Fathima?" asked Peter. "I… don’t know, but we better go check on her." said Eve. "But wait, what about the photographs in the police station?" asked Peter. "If Jim is up for it." said Eve. "Sneaking into a police station? Of course, it's not like we could get arrested right?" asked Jim. "Okay then, Jim and Peter get the pics, Eve and Ilayda check on Katherine." said Griffin. “Me and Ilayda? But why?” asked Eve. Everyone looks at her in awkwardness again including Ilayda. “what do you mean? You don’t like to team up with me?” asked Ilayda. “No! that’s not what I mean, I mean, Peter could disappear again right? So someone has to keep watch.” Said Eve. “So.. you want to keep watch on me?” asked Peter. “Arghhh, No! you know what, just forget it. I’ll meet you back at the entrance Ilayda.” Said Eve who leaves from the scene. “Why is she acting weird?” asked Griffin. “You finally get it, I’ve been saying this from the start.” Said Jim. “Guys concentrate on the task, we figure out about Eve later.” Said Peter. “Yeah you’re right, Pete, give me the stone.” Said Griffin. "What are you going to do?" asked Peter. "Someone needs to look for Fathima right? She could be in the woods, I'll have a look, give me that stupid gem, don’t make me ask again." said Griffin. "But the woods are swarming with guards, you are not a sneaky type dude." replied Peter. "Trust me, I have a plan, Ilayda." replied Griffin as Ilayda tosses it to Griffin, then the crew separate and proceed to their task. Meanwhile in the Entrance to Wakefield Falls, Agent Diana emerges from the tent, when she hears a quarrel close to the gate. "Hey! What's going on there?" asked Diana. "It's that cop, he's.." said the entrance before Clay bashes into the gate and forces his way in. This makes everyone draw their weapons towards Clay's car as the smoke clears, detective Clay gets out of the car with his hands up. "Guns down! Guns down!" yells Agent Diana as she lowers her g*n and approaches him. "What the hell Detective?" asked Diana. "I tried everything, the guy wouldn't let me, so.." said Clay. "You force your way in, I informed you before, we have the situation in control, we found Katherine and she's in hospital, and we'll find Fathima too." replied Diana. "I understand, I do…" Said Clay. "Then why on Earth would you do this? Huh? Look at your car." replied Diana as she points on Clay's car front hood which has received heavy damage. "We need representative, alright, the people are demanding to speak to one of you." said Clay. "Well, tell those people, we are busy protecting them, I have to get everything ready before he arrives." said Diana. "Before who arrives?" asked Clay. "None of your concern, look detective Clay, we are providing your entire town protection, we have completely blocked off the woods, and we are searching for your kids too, we even found one, why the hell don't your people get it that…" said Diana. "I get it, Agent Diana, I truly understand." said Clay. "Do you? Well your car says otherwise." Replied Diana. " I am sorry about that, but you have to understand my situation too, days ago we were the enforcement officers and now they kicked us out of our own department, the people are scared because not even a single person from your unit responded to them, if you can tell what you told me, tonight at dusk at the City Hall, Kids will come to schools, people will know and will step aside and let you do your job, everybody wins." said Clay. "Huh? Way to go detective, just one small doubt? I am not allowed to share a single detail about our operations here" asked Diana. "Don't reveal them." replied Clay. "Then what do you want me to say?" asked Diana. "Whatever makes them feel safe, look, I know this isn't up to you, and you're just doing your job, this isn't the first time stuff like this happened, but you need to understand, that after being kicked out of my own office, people lost faith in us, which is why you need to restore it to them." said Clay. Diana almost speaks back but stops and reflects on what he said. "So, can I leave this place alive with my car?" asked Clay. After a moment Diana speaks up. "Fine, you can leave, I'll send someone to your public meeting." said Diana. "Thank you, Agent Diana, thank you so much." replied Clay as Diana reaches for her wallet and hands over a card. "Next time you want to contact me, don't try to bring a entire gate down." said Diana as she leaves a scene. Clay glances at the card he got for a moment, then he goes to get back on his car. Meanwhile in the Police Station, Peter and Jim had been scouting the station from the donut shop opposite, as they scout, Jim bought himself a donut and is currently eating it as Peter explains the plan. "Okay dude you go it?" asked Peter. "Yep, strawberry favored was going to deplete but I manage to buy two this time." replied Jim as he delightfully eats his donut. "Not that i***t, the plan, you got it right?" asked Peter. "Yeah of course, but tell me anyway." said Jim. "Fine, this is how it goes; the evidence room is on the second floor on the right corridor third room alright? Since you can't teleport without picturing it, I spent time drawing in this paper, okay?" replied Peter as he hands over the drawing. “But like I said before, I don’t have the Amethyst, it’s with Griffin, were you blind when Ilayda tossed it to him.” Said Jim who takes it and looks at it but is still unable to picture it in reality. ”I know that, but we don’t have a choice, you need to teleport, with or without the freaking gem, got it bud?” asked Peter. "Cool drawing, you should apply for art school." said Jim. "Thank you, but come back to the point, can you or can't?" asked Peter. "Dude, I told you like a thousand times, I can only teleport to a place I've been physically with the gem in my hand, each place has a feel, to feel it, I need that gem and just… look, what you are asking is impossible." said Jim. "Okay fine, how do you think we should proceed?" asked Peter. "We wait here, till the cops go." said Jim. "Dude are you kidding me? That's the police station? Cops won't go." said Peter. "How about this donut? Will this go?" asked Jim. Peter grabs that donut and throws it in the garbage. Shocked by his doing, Jim slaps him in the face. "What the heck man!" yells Peter after getting slapped. "That was my donut, you threw it!" yells back Jim. Noticing he's getting angry; Peter quickly grabs the other donut. "Get the other photographs or I won’t show mercy this time." replies Peter with the donut in his hand. "Don't, please don't, it's the last one." said Jim. "Then get it, now!" yells Peter. "Okay fine." said Jim as he reaches for his bag and takes the photographs from his hand. "Here you go, give me her back." said Jim. Shocked that  photographs was in Jim's bag all along, he drops the donut which is caught by Jim, he takes a closer look at the photographs, it reveals to be a clear pictures of a gIant white wolf eating a person, then the last of the photographs shows the wolf turning into a human, just like the girl with blue eyes. "So, we done?" asked Jim. "Yeah but wait, you had the photographs all along?" asked Peter. "No, I um… I sort of called out to the photos and somehow it worked! It came right at the table from the evidence room when you went bathroom, I was going to tell you but when you bought strawberry donuts, I couldn't resist eating it so…" replied Jim. "So, you pretended to listen to all my plan.…" said Peter. "Yep." added Jim. "You are the worse best friend I could possibly have." said Peter. "Yep, at least you got me, right?" Asked Jim. Before Jim could grab a bite of the donut, Peter grabs it off him and eats rest of it. "Your merciless monster!" yells Jim who engages Peter.
