"We need all the help we can get." Tyson replied.

"Talk to you later, Miki." he then said, before they ended the call.

Once they did, Ty composed himself, before heading off in a decided rush to the dorm that Sierra had laid claim to. Once he got to the door, he knocked loudly.

"Sierra!?" he called in.

"Hey, you all right in there!? You even IN there!?" he called further, before trying the door to see if it was locked or not.

"....ahhh hell." Ty growled as he saw her.

He then raced towards her, kneeling down when he got close enough.

"Hey." he said.

"Hey, you all right?" he asked.

"Sierra?" he asked further.

'Crap, she does NOT look good.' he thought concernedly.

'I need to get her to the Medical Wing, STAT.' he finished, before sighing and leaning in to lift her up in his arms.

Thankfully, his journey to the Medical Wing was uninterrupted, and he arrived there within minutes. And as soon as he stepped into the mana 'sanctuary' that Hollie had created earlier, he noticed Sierra gain a slight bit of 'life' to her looks.

"...." he was silent, before approaching one of the Council team members.

"This one needs help. Now." he told them.

"She's a banshee, and she's fading fast." he said further.

"Is there anything that can be done?"

Ty shook his head.

"Not really." he said.

"She's a banshee, and... that's about it." he told them.

He then described how he'd found her, and how she'd looked when he'd discovered her.

"Frankly, I was scared she would just fade away." he admitted.

"But I'll leave you to do your work." he finished, as he made plans to check around the building for others, and clean up the mess that had been left in Sierra's dorm.

"There anything I can do to be of assistance in the meantime?" he then asked.

".........." Ty was silent as he heard that.

"Frankly... such a thing would be depressing, really." he told them.

"But am I willing to be a contact, and I accept the position." he said.

"...I only hope you don't need to contact me with bad news." he went on.

"Now... if there's nothing else, I'm going to search for anyone else that may be in a similar situation as Sierra was."

Ty accepted the pendant, and nodded.

"I will." he replied.

"Thank you." he said.

With that, they parted ways, and he started to walk down the hallways of the seemingly desolate Unit.

"...this is unnerving." he muttered.

"Not used to seeing the Unit this empty." he went on.

"Damn it, let this end soon." he then sighed, shaking his head slightly.

"......." Tyson was silent as he heard that.

"Oh, dear." he said.

"Well, where have you checked already?" he asked her.

'Damn it, damn it, damn it.' he then thought.

'Not Peyton, too...' he thought further, wondering if she was in a similar situation that he'd found Sierra in.

And if that was true, she needed to be found. ASAP.

"Hmmmm." Ty mumbled, scratching his chin.

"I know there's a few places she likes to haunt." he commented.

"But odds are you know of them, too..." he went on.

"You're working your way up?" he then asked. "Then I'll work my way down." he reasoned.

"We're sure to find her eventually."

Ty watched her go, and then thought for a moment.

"Start at the top and work my way down..." he repeated to himself.

He then sighed and found the nearest stairwell, taking it up to the highest floor he could get to. Once he was there, he sighed, and cracked his neck a little.

"All right, here goes..." he muttered.

He knew that Peyton had little places to crash on every floor, it was just a matter of finding them... or finding HER, more specifically.

"Peyton!?" he called out, as he started to look through the rooms, which were used for storage of office materials and the like.

"........" Ty was silent as he saw the text.

"Damn it." he cursed.

Where are you? he texted back.

It's not safe in this building. You need help. he sent further.

"Come on, come on..." he muttered.

"Where ARE you, Peyton...?"
