In Kansas, a young man is standing by the fence by himself grazing out at the field where the cattle were at, which they were mooing and eating grass, minding their own business. But this man has a word to look on his face, mainly because his brother has not reached out to him as of late. This young man happens to be Luke Matthews who is approximately 20 years old and the younger brother of Holden Matthews.

"Oh, where could he be?" Luke asked himself, wondering where his brother was and very worried, especially about their fallout.

"Hey, believe it or not. Our lives don't revolve around your every move, not that you can get past your own selfishness to realize that," Luke own voice rang in his head over and over on repeat.

Then he looked at his phone which happened to have a voicemail on it. Curious, Luke pressed his voicemail app on his phone, and played the voicemail, and that voice on the voicemail was none other than Holden's.

"Hey Luke it's me Holden. I'm sorry for everything that's happened as of late and this may be the last time I might see you, but I was in California now heading to Maine where PEACE headquarters is at, so listen closely is where their headquarters is at..." the voicemail began.

After the voicemail ended, Luke immediately got on the phone with Jeff McCardle who is now an inactive soldier.

"Hello?" said Jeff on the other end.

"Jeff? Hi it's me, Luke...I know where Holden is."

So Jeff managed to rent a helicopter, and gave Luke a ride and the two went to Maine together.

"Do you know how to get in?" Jeff asked, who has a scar on his right cheek.

"Not sure yet, but I hope he will be okay," Luke replied.

Meanwhile in California...

"How could they have disappeared on me like that?" Martin asked in shock and bewilderment. "Just how could they do that?"

Martin had just recovered from telepathy and searched the entire house for Nate only to find him long gone.

"I told you Nate will stop at nothing to save Ruby and his friends," Francis explained.

"But I told him he's not going and that was that," Martin said.

"So what are you going to do now?" Teddy asked.

Martin thought about this for a moment. Now he was really scared of losing Nate again just like the PS 38 school shooting. He knew what he said to me was pretty cowardly, but he wasn't going to sit out on the sidelines either. Martin shook his head for a bit knowing full well what he's going to have to do now to save his own son. So he did something.

"I made up my mind. I'm going to go out and save my own son," Martin declared.

Everyone in the room cheered.

"Do you want everyone to come with you?" Dee Dee asked. Martin thought about this for a moment. He wasn't sure if everyone could squeeze it into one helicopter.

Then...

"We'll have two helicopters, then yes everyone comes along."

The cheering went a little louder this time.

"Now I need is to find someone to get us there..." Martin thought to himself.

A knock on the door occurred. Martin went over there and open it there was a man standing on the front porch.

"Hello?" the man asked.

"Can I help you?" Martin asked.

"I'm Konstantin Vasiliev. I'm a father figure to Villanelle, is she here?"
