Even in his sleep, Jeremy seemed restless. Every few minutes he would fidget and change position yet always remained close to Enzo. Despite being restless he continued to sleep. Enzo wasn't so lucky.

As the night went on, he couldn't find it in himself to close his eyes for more than a couple minutes before they would open again. He would stare into the darkness of the room praying, for Jeremy's sake, everything would turn out alright. In all honesty, he couldn't wait until they out lived Elena and would no longer have to worry about her.

"Enzo," Alvina says, her voice strained and stressed.

"What is it?" Enzo asks, fearing for the worst. The last thing he wanted was for Alvina to get hurt while he's here with Jeremy. She's around a lot of people they don't know and they don't trust. He'll feel a lot better when she's back in eyesight.

"Jenna's been kidnapped and forced into transition. You have to find someone else to take her place in the ritual," Alvina tells him.

"I'll handle it," Enzo promises her. While he was relieved nothing seemed wrong with Alvina he knew he needed to act quickly in order to get Jenna in the clear. "It's just one thing after another," He mutters to himself.

His eyes downcast to Jeremy. While Jeremy would get Elena back, if Enzo couldn't save Jenna Jeremy would lose her forever. Plus, he likes Jenna. She's kind. Loves Elena and Jeremy with all her heart. She put her life on pause just to look after the both of them.

Slipping out of bed, Enzo pulls the covers up further on Jeremy before leaving the room. It took him a while to get to the place he had been searching for but when he arrived he was pleased to find who he's looking for sitting on the porch.

When Alvina had freed him from Augustine one of the first things he did was hunt down those involved with the organization. However, one night is not enough to get all the rats involved. Every now and then he'll branch from his mates when he's able to track down one of the doctors. His usual course of action is usually more personal but he has other plans for this one in particular.

"Doctor Angela Brims," Enzo says, stopping at the bottom of the steps leading up to the porch. While her exterior remains stoic, Enzo can hear her heartbeat escalating. "Your day of reckoning has come,"

"I'm not apart of Augustine anymore... I left," She whisper to him. He slowly walks up the steps. Her body becomes more tense the closer he gets.

"Well, I hope you were able to enjoy life outside of that hell," He tells her. "Because now it's over," He says, stalking over to her. Her mouth opens but the words die in her throat. "I'm in a bit of a hurry, darling, we're going to have to make this quick,"

"Wait-" Enzo ignores her brief protest and yanks her out of her seat. She struggles against him but he forces his bleeding wrist into her mouth until she has no choice but to drink the metallic liquid. "Please-" She begs but Enzo ignores her once more. With a snap of her neck, she falls limp in his arms.
