"I'll do it." Levi responded, before leaving the room.

"So." her 'shadow' said to her. "The one in touch with The Swarm is missing, huh?" he asked.

"That ain't good." he commented.

"Somethin' happens to her, and they might rampage." he went on.

"Where y'gonna scry?" he asked.

Jax accepted the items, and nodded.

"I understand." he replied.

"Bathroom's up the stairs and to the right." Levi told him, causing Jax to, again, nod in response, and then leave the room to dry himself off and change into the dry clothing.

"...should wash and dry what he wore here." Levi mumbled. "Just to be nice..." he said quietly, though Ally could see that he was VERY concerned about Rebecca's state right now.

And that was when her 'shadow' returned with everything she would need.

As she headed off, Jax and Levi saw her shadow 'break off' of her, and go in another direction. They were silent as it did that, before the former looked at the latter.

"...so it can detach from her shadow now?" he asked.

"Yeah, he can." Levi replied. "Ally found a spell to allow him to be on his own." he went on.

"So... he doesn't need her?" Jax inquired.

"Oh! Not at all. He can only detach as long as he stays within a certain proximity to her." Levi explained.

"Huh. Handy." was all Jax muttered.

"Please." Jax responded.

"I... I just want to know where she is and if she's all right." he said.

Levi, meanwhile, was looking VERY concerned.

"And you can't track her cell position? No GPS ping for her or anything?" he asked him.

Jax just shook his head, causing Levi to look even MORE worried now.

As they spoke, Ally's 'shadow' crawled up her back and spoke into her ear.

"Want me to grab the scry shit?" it asked.

The male smiled.

"Thanks." he replied, taking a sip.

"Oh, hey Jax." Levi greeted him. "What brings YOU out here on such a dreadful day?" he asked, looking out the window.

"...is Rebecca here?" Jax asked, almost hesitantly.

"No..." Levi responded.

"Has she BEEN here the past few days or so?" Jax asked further.

"No. She hasn't." Levi told him. "Why...?" he then asked in response, sounding a little concerned now.

Jax was silent for a moment, before hanging his head slightly.

"Becca's not been home for the past few days." he responded. "And she's not answering her phone, or texts, or anything." he told them further. "She's not been to her usual haunts or cafes or whatever, and nobody at the Unit has see her visit." he continued. "Or, well, the staff at the places she likes to go to haven't seen her, and Izea hasn't seen her drop by the Unit, so essentially the same." he clarified.

He had to stifle a chuckle at her 'wet dog' commented, but before he said something, they heard Levi.

"Coming!" he called back.

"...something to drink would be great." the male said.

"Something hot. Like... coffee or tea or whatever." he said further, before looking out the nearest window.

"...wow, it really IS coming down." he commented. "Hadn't noticed." he admitted.

"Guess it's because I've been so preoccupied..."

He was silent and nodded, before stepping inside and out of the rain. He turned around when she closed it, and sighed.

"Sorry to show up all of a sudden, but I didn't know your phone numbers, I got your address from Izea... due to the reason I'm here, actually... and I need to know something." he told her.

"Is... is Rebecca here?" he asked.

"I know she and Levi have little sessions where he mentors her and they essentially give each other 'therapy' to help them deal with their connections." he went on.

"Is she here?"

He nodded in response.

"Of course." he replied.

"As you command." he then said, causing her smirk to become that little bit more smug.

-Some time later-

He walked up to the door of the house, clad in a hoodie that was soaked from the pouring rain, and bit his lip.

"Please... please, please..." he mumbled to himself, before ringing the doorbell.

And then knocking loudly and insistently.

He thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Very well." he responded.

"I shall get to work." he told her.

"I will try my best to have one of them here by the end of this week." he said further... which wasn't bad, considering that was in a few days.

"No, I PROMISE to have one of them here by week's end." he then corrected himself.

He nodded in response.

"It shall be done." he told her.

"I will see to it she delivers one right to us." he said further, before thinking on it.

"Do you care which one?" he asked.

"Is one preferable over the other?"

"....my apologies." they responded, realising the error they had made.

"Yes." they then said.

"I think it is more than possible." he told her.

"I am 95% sure I can manipulate her to bring us at least one." he continued.

"...both may be an issue, but one is certainly doable."

The one she was speaking to thought for a moment.

"Hmmm." they mumbled.

"Sadly, with the camera plan exposed, all those that are known to have been victims of the camera are under close observation." they told her. "Or should be, anyway." they stated.

"While making her collect one of them is not outside the realm of possibility, it WILL be extremely tricky." they warned.

"Sending someone to just collect one MIGHT be the simpler option, admittedly."

"But we'll fight back." Ty declared.

"We always have, and always will." he stated.

"...granted, this time seems to be harder than the others, but we'll damn well TRY." he went on, before shaking his head.

"In the end, it is all we CAN do." he lamented.

"I should thank Azazel as well, considering he's been working hard here as well." he then added.

"Thank you." Ty responded.

"Again, for everything." he then said.

"I know it's still too early to REALLY be thanking people with... any sense of finality, but already, these are huge steps forward." he commented.

"...never thought Vanessa Encrae would be able to reach us through such technology, though." he admitted.

"Admittedly, I didn't think that sort of thing even POSSIBLE."
