THE GROUP HAD ALL sat in the van with Kirby, while Sam, Tara and Detective Bailey were out in the park. Kirby typed on her computer as the others just watched, while Mindy sat with her foot rested on the table, while Ethan was eating a bag of Cheetos.

"So, we're really doing the phone tracing thing that never works in the movies." Mindy said, with a sarcastic smile on her face, as Kirby turned to her, "It'll be all, 'Keep him talking Sam. Two more minutes, I've almost got him.' And then he hangs up just before we can get a lock."

As Mindy spoke, Chad mimicked her slightly, with facial expressions and hand gestures, making Drew chuckle quietly enough for Mindy to not hear her.

"I can trace a call in under 15 seconds." Kirby told them, as Drew nodded in respect.

"Impressive."

Mindy looked at Kirby, before taking her leg off the table and leaning forward in her seat, looking at Kirby, as the others all exchanged a look. "Well, you've got them out there as bait."

"Because the killer usually calls from somewhere nearby." Kirby explained.

"And you think they're safe because it's broad daylight in a public place?" Mindy quizzed.

"Look, I am here, okay? And so is Bailey." Kirby said, trying to reassure Mindy.

"This is exactly how our Uncle Randy died. Broad daylight. Public place. Yanked into a van. Stab, stab, stab. No more Randy." Mindy said to her, as Kirby had a bit of a shocked look on her face.

Ethan had his bag of Cheetos, and he leaned it near the others, offering some. Drew kept her attention on Mindy and Kirby as she still managed to take one out of the bag. Kirby got on the mic in order to communicate with Sam and Tara.

"Hey, Sam? Stay frosty out there, okay?" Kirby informed her.

"We're good." Sam responded.

As the phone call began, Kirby began to trace the call, keeping her concentration, as Drew had a nervous look on her face.

"Did you get it?" Sam asked Kirby.

"Yep." Kirby confirmed, causing Drew to let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. "Geolocation coming through right now." As the compute beeped, Kirby had a slightly confused look on her face.

"He's on the upper west side. He's in an apartment building halfway across the city."

"On West 96th?" Tara asked over the phone, as Kirby turned to the others.

"How did you know that?" She asked.

"Wait, I'm confused. Who's address is that?" Zayani asked, as she leaned forward in her chair, her brows furrowed.

"Gale." Sam answered, causing Drew's eyes to widen at the words.

"What?"

THEY ALL SAT IN THE lobby of the apartment building, a somber mood among them. Gale had gotten attacked, and they're unsure of whether or not she'll survive. Drew was in a more panicked state than she was before.
