"Anything?" Fiona asked.

"Nobody's seen him since last night." Ian said.

"Hey. Hey. Don't worry, Debs. We're gonna find him, okay." Fiona said, to whimpering Debbie.

"We split up. All the regular spots, okay? Go."

"Frank?" Lip called, down some stairs behind a building.

"Anyone seen Frank?" Ian asked strangers.

"Frank? Someone has money for you." Grace lied, looking in an alley.

"Frank, you here?" Ian checked behind porta-potties. "Sorry." He gasped, accidentally opening the door on someone.

"Frank?" Debbie asked a man by a store.

"Dad?" Debbie said, checking the coffins in a coffin store.

"Frank?" Ian called, looking in a dumpster.

"Frank? You hear?" Grace called, looking by Karen's house.

"You can't file a missing persons report." Tony said.

"Why not?" Fiona asked.

"Franks always missing." 

"That's what I said. He's probably sleeping at a friends." Steve announced

"He hasn't got any friends." Fiona said. "Who would give him a bed." 

"We've found him in dumpsters, garbage trucks... Mrs. Lutski's tub." Tony stated.

"Never on the last Friday of the month." 

"What does Friday have to do-?" Steve asked.

"It's the last Friday?" Tony asked, concerned.

Fiona nodded.

"I'll call my watch commander." Tony said, picking up his phone.

"Shove your phone up your ass. No more freebies from me... like doing taxes because you can't understand the instructions." Lip said, throwing Kev's phone on the bar.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Kev said, throwing his hands up. "Hey, take it easy. Take it easy, alright?" He said, standing in front of Lip. "Look, Frank isn't far, okay? He never goes far."

"I know, but it's the last Friday." 

"Last Friday? So what?" Kev asked. "Disability-check day." He realized. "Oh, Jesus. Fuck me. Hey, Jess. Uh, Frank Gallagher, did he leave with anyone when we kicked him out?"

"Name me one person who would be caught dead with him." Jess spoke.

"Steve was definitely gone by then, so Frank wasn't with him. Anybody seen Frank the Plank?" Kev yelled.

"Which Steve?" Lip asked.

"Steve, Steve. Fiona's new Steve."

"In here?" Karen asked.

"Talking to your dad. Friendly enough. It was hours before closing."

"Right." Lip said, leaving.

"Thanks, Kev." Karen said.

"Yeah." 

Kev walked over to the TV, and heard that there was a body found on the South side of the city. 

"Hey is that over by Halsted station?" He asked.

"I broke my collarbone falling down those station steps... after my first taste of another woman's tongue." Jess said.
