"Good." Foggy said into the phone as he walked with Zoe toward the hospital, "Stay there." He paused and glanced over at Zoe, "Uh... Matt? No. I haven't seen him since last night. I'll let him know what's going on. Meet you two at the precinct. And don't let anyone talk to Grotto until then."

Zoe played with her hands, "Rhea didn't contact me last night."

Foggy breathed out nervously, "She didn't message me either." His nerves were going off, "I-I don't know what I'd do... if-"

"Yeah, I know." Zoe breathed out as she pushed past the crowd of people. She stopped at the police tape and looked for either Rhea or Matt's face in the crowd.

"The building's clear. Perp is not in the building. Standby to lift lockdown. All units hold position. We have a report of shots fired earlier on a rooftop up on 10th."

Foggy grabbed hold of Zoe's arm, "Come on."

Zoe and Foggy checked a few buildings. Using different excuses to let them inside. Foggy stopped outside one of the buildings and brought his hands up to his head. Zoe pressed the button once more and turned back to him, "Come on."

"I-" Foggy looked away from Zoe only to see some blond in a nearby alley, "I-Find Matt, I think I found Rhea."

"What?"

Foggy waved his hand to stop her, "I-I got her. Get-Go-Matt."

"I-Okay."

Foggy ran into the alley and dropped to his knees. "No, no, no, no, no." He looked at the blood staining her hair and felt his heart stop beating at the sight of her. "Rhea? Hey. Rhea, wake up. Please, please, please-" He pressed his palm against her shoulder slightly only for her to react to his touch. He pulled back his hand when she winced, but that was when he noticed that was where the bleeding was coming from. Struggling, Foggy pulled his phone out and dialed the number- "Hi-"

"Who is this?"

"Uh, we-we have a mutual friend. He-You've helped him before but-she-"

"I got it. I got it. What happened?"

"There's blood and it looks like-It looks like she fell off the side of the building." Foggy looked up to see her staff was lodged halfway down the fire escape. "Uh, I think she didn't-I think she didn't fall from the top. She stopped the impact from being bad."

"Where are you?"

While Foggy gave Claire his location, Zoe was on the roof of the building. She scrambled around and almost fell over as she searched. She pressed her palm against her chest as she tried to calm her heart. She heard her phone buzz and checked it. It was a voicemail from Foggy. She played it and listened to him explain that he found Rhea and was bringing her to the nurse that helped Matt.

She ducked under some laundry and had her brows furrowed. Zoe was grateful to hear that Foggy found Rhea, but now she was so worried that she couldn't find Matt. She brought her hands up to her head and tugged at her hair in a cry of worried frustration.
