Hidden beneath are the answers you seek, just inside the shallows of the creek, but as you enter you must beware, rest assured your friends won't be spared.

The words rattled around Lennox's mind as she began to come to. She shifted, groaning slightly as the voices said her name.

"What," She whispered to herself.

The words started repeating themselves.

Hidden beneath are the answers you seek, just inside the shallows of the creek-

"Lennox?" Jay stood up after seeing her shift.

He'd been sitting in the chair since 6am waiting for Lennox to come around. All of a sudden she took a deep breath in as her eyes shot open.

"Woah, hey," He went to her side, taking her hand gently in his as he knelt next to the bed. "Hey, it's Jay, it's me."

He watched her eyes dart around the room without the rest of her body moving.

"Where am I?" She asked quietly.

"You're in the hospital. You passed out last night, but your dad's here okay? He said you're gonna be alright."

He watched her process his brief explanation before looking him in the eyes. "I need a pen."

"A pen?" He frowned.

She nodded, so he searched his pockets before quickly pulling out a pen and his notepad that he keeps for case work. She started writing, and when the door opened Jay stood up to see Caleb and Skye paying a visit.

"Is she awake?"

"Yeah, she's uh..." He looked back at her and then gestured to her. "She's writing."
