".........." Tyson was silent, before knocking again, this time more loudly.

"Peyton!?" he called in once more.

"Peyton, it's time for dinner!" he said.

"They have your favourite, duck. With some mint jelly." he told her further.

"If you're in there, please let me know!" he added.

Again, Tyson was silent, before sighing quietly.

He tried one more time, but after silence for the third time, he gave up.

"...that's not right..." he muttered to himself.

-Some more time later-

Tyson and Kiah were sitting in the cafeteria, eating, when Tyson looked around, and sighed.

"So." he said.

"Have you seen ANY sign of Peyton?" he asked.

"At ALL?" he asked further.

"I haven't seen her at all since she sped by me that one time."

"I haven't heard Sharp mention anything about the pesticide." Tyson said.

"...but that's worrying that not even Mira can get in." he continued.

"And yeah, I've heard about Azazel and Rylie." he then said further.

"Rylie giving up on her motorcycle, saying she's done with it, that it's too dangerous, going to sell it... just... doesn't make any sense." he muttered.

"And Azazel suddenly trying to hide the fact that he's a demon, taking drastic measures to hide it, acting like he's never said he is... like he's ashamed and afraid to show who he is." he went on.

"...poor Illias." he then mumbled.

"Oh, nothing that I know of." Tyson admitted.

"But I'll bet this is hard on him." he said.

"I mean, he and Peyton get along, but... well... there's nobody here that DOESN'T." he reasoned with a small smirk. "And Rylie was the one that saved his life, so he's pretty close to her." he went on. "Not to mention he and Azazel are a little unsure about revealing what they are due to worries of discrimination... so they have a small bond over THAT..." he continued.

"So... yeah, poor guy's had several of his friends turned on their heads." he sighed.

Of course, Tyson didn't know about how Illias would secretly shoot small glares at Anya when she got chummy and close with Kiah... but Kiah noticed it a few times... never thought much on them.

Until now.

"Huh?" Sharp asked.

"The pesticide hunt?" he asked.

"Oh, it's used in various commercial cleaning products, I'm sure it was an honest mistake." he told her.

"I'll make sure Anya is properly compensated for it, so don't worry about it." he went on... which alarmed her even further.

"What's the second thing?" he then asked.

"Excuse me?" Sharp responded.

However, before she could respond to him, she felt something odd... or, rather, she DIDN'T feel something.

Which was to say, she swore she should have felt another stair beneath her, but she didn't.

Instead, she felt nothing but air... somehow, she'd missed a step.

And that meant she was tumbling forward now, down the stairs.

"............." Sharp was silent as he heard what he heard, and heard the phone call end.

"That does NOT sound good." he muttered.

About a minute later, Sharp rushed out of his office, and made his way DIRECTLY to where Kiah was, almost as though he knew exactly where she was.

He rushed towards where she was, and saw her laying on the floor.

"Kiah!" he exclaimed.

"What happened!?" he asked her, concern evident in his tone.

Sharp was silent for a moment, before sighing.

He grabbed his phone and called Angela, telling her where they were, and asking her to send someone to get Kiah, so she could be taken to the medical wing.

"....it's not like you to be so clumsy." he told her.

"...the pen and tome..." he then mumbled, fragments of his memory starting to piece together again.

"I need to tell Hollie about this." he said.

"They need to be stopped." he finished, referring to the pen and book, as opposed to Illias, himself.

"....." Sharp was silent as he saw the bruise forming.

"I see." he said.

He then turned and waited impatiently, until the medical transporter showed up.

"She took a nasty spill down the stairs." he told them.

"Get her to the med wing to get looked at, as she has some concerning bruises forming." he said further. The medical staff nodded, before looking at Kiah.

"Ready to go?" he asked.

When she nodded, she suddenly felt herself lifted up off the floor, and levitated.

"Can't teleport due to lockdown, so this'll have to do." he explained.

Sharp watched them go, before quickly returning to his office.

Once there, he called Hollie.

"Hollie, get to my office." he told her.

"NOW." he said.

"There's a very good chance I know EXACTLY where the book and pen is." he said further, showing her that things were coming back to him, and that he knew what was going on, even if vaguely, at the moment.
