At the Weathervane, Xavier was volunteering there and cleaning up when he saw Wednesday staring at a board with many papers on it. "I thought you were supposed to be at Pilgrim World," Xavier questioned as Wednesday turned around to face him. "Me and Anax deserted it while my sanity and dignity were still intact," Wednesday said as she walked up to Xavier. "Oh yeah? Then where's Anax?" "I told him to stay outside and if he doesn't do as told, he'll be the next person to go missing." After what happened, both she and Anax made an agreement not to bring that up to anyone, but she could tell he's smug about getting a kiss from Wednesday. "Sounds like something you would do." "Aside from that, I need to speak to Tyler." Xavier paused, "I told you he was bad news." "Twice. Who I speak to is my business," Wednesday said as she rang the bell on the counter. Tyler came out from the back once he heard the bell. "You rang?" Tyler asked as he looked over at Wednesday, which Xavier just scoffed and walked away. "Want the usual?" "And some help." Wednesday said as she got out a map of Jericho and the forest. "You know the original pilgrim meeting house, the one from the 1600s?" She laid it flat on the table. "Do you know if it's still around?"
"What's left is out in Cobham Woods, but it's pretty much in ruin." "Show me," Wednesday ordered as Tyler looked at the map before he pointed at a spot. "There. But, look, it's pretty sketchy. Squatters and meth heads use that place as a crash pad. My dad has it cleared every couple weeks. What's this about?" Tyler asked. "Nothing," she said as she folded up the map. "You're becoming more obsessed with this whole monster-" before he could continue, the door opened. "Hey Wednesday got a lead yet?" Anax questioned as he walked up to the two. "I thought I told you to stay outside." "And I told you I would come in if you were taking awhile, so there." Anax said as he crossed his arms. "Anyway I have our next location, let's go." Wednesday said as she walked out with Anax following her. "Hey Wednesday-" before Tyler could say anything, Anax dashed flurries in his face, making Tyler try to make the flurries go away. Anax chuckled at this and followed Wednesday outside to the woods.

"This is all that's left?" Anax said rhetorically as he laid eyes on the decayed structure in the woods. Tyler wasn't kidding about this place being in ruin, it really was. He looked around the place as he and Wednesday made their way inside, not even masking his grimace for the place. "I was expecting more to." However, an old homeless man appeared behind Wednesday, who didn't see Anax near by her. "Who you talking to, little girl?" He asked Wednesday as she turned around to respond.
"Use 'little' and 'girl' to address me again and I can't guarantee your safety," Wednesday threatened the man as Anax creeped up to Wednesday. "This is my place! Get out!" "Anax?" Wednesday questioned as she looked over to Anax. The homeless man looked at Anax as he smirked at the man and used his wind to push him away. "Hey, what are-?!" Anax used the wind to place the man a few ways away, and when he let go, the homeless man ran away. "There's nothing here." Wednesday pointed out as she looked at the set up in the place. She looked down at Thing and he started doing sign language. "No, I can't just touch something. My visions seem to happen spontaneously." Anax decided to check the outside of the place for any clues. Thing did some more sign language. "I would rather dye my hair pink then ask my mother for advice," Wednesday said as Anax let out a laugh at the comment.
Thing then touched a piece of burnt wood to see if Wednesday couldn't just get a vision by touching something. "Oh you want me to prove it to you?" And Wednesday started to touch random stuff around the burned down area. All Anax could do was watch and he chuckled a bit at how Wednesday faked having a vision with a bag. "My visions are about as predictable as shark attacks," Wednesday commented as she picked up her bag and went to leave the house, however when she touched the door to open it, she got a vision and would have fallen to the ground, but Anax was able to catch her before that could happen. Thing made his way over as Anax held Wednesday to his chest. "Huh, she really did need to touch something for a vision," Anax commented before he realized that it would rain soon. "Crap," he said before he made shelter.
