"If Roxie's having trouble, that's a bad sign." Ash responded.

"...though... hmmm..." he mumbled.

"I'll see if I can't do something..." he went on, looking off into the distance and scratching his chin a little.

"Though I should be careful." he then said. "I have no idea what kinda freaky crap he might try, in the name of harming Erica." he sighed, before pausing again and thinking about it.

"How'd he get caught again?" he asked.

"Zeke and Gabe beat the shit out of him." Angela answered bluntly.

"...which ultimately means he's been thrown to the curb by Vanessa." Ash concluded.

"All right." Ash replied.

He then went and checked in with Ilias, telling him about Kiah. After that, he went to Hal and filled him in, also getting permission to talk to the copy that had been impersonating Erica.

He went there to find the place in a bit of a frenzy, as an agent that was going to try had found the copy dead. Word was about to be sent to Sharp, so Ash decided to make himself scarce.

After about an hour or so, he returned to Sydney's with what Kiah had asked for. He walked into the room and made his way over.

"Feeling any better?" he asked, handing it to her.
