"where the hell is she?" Tim says, pinning Elijah to the wall.
"how would I know?" Elijah asks.
"I know you're the reason she's gone, again" Tim snarls.
"I saved her, if you remember" Elijah points out.
"only for her to be kidnapped again" Tim reminds him, throwing him onto the floor.
"Tim, beating up Elijah isn't going to get her back" Lucy points out.
"but it'd be fun" Oscar muses, sitting on the couch in Tim's living room.
"this is true" Nyla and Angela agree at the same time.
"but not productive" Aaron sighs.
"shut up, boot" Oscar, Nyla, Angela, and Tim say at the same time.
"Tim, come on, you know this won't help" Lucy insists.
"I know, doesn't mean I have to like it" Tim grumbles, sitting down on the couch.
"just because I don't know where she is doesn't mean we can't find out" Elijah says.
"that retirement home was an abandoned warehouse, where the hell else could she be?" Tim points out.
"well, she had to drive them to the warehouse to begin with" Lucy considers.
"and then they'd have to incapacitate her and move her to a more secure location" Aaron adds.
"in the middle of nowhere Nevada?" Angela asks.
"has to be" Tim sighs, before standing up.
"where are you going?" Lucy calls.
"I'm getting Ana back, even if I have to search the whole damn desert" Tim replies.
"that doesn't seem wise" Wesley frowns.
"better than sitting around here" Oscar says, standing up.
"Tim, the psychopath is agreeing with you" Lucy points out.
"he also wants to protect Ana, so he's sane in my book" Nyla pipes up, grabbing her keys as well.
"guys, this really isn't the most productive way to do this" Aaron states.
"I don't remember asking, boot, now get our ass in the car" Nyla orders.
"fine, but we need to stop by the hospital" Lucy decides.
"why? are you hurt?" Nolan inquires.
"we need medical supplies" Lucy explains.
The room's atmosphere severely darkens when they imagine someone hurting Ana.
"me and Chen will stop by the hospital" Tim decides. "the rest of you find a partner and lets head to that warehouse."
[Ten Minutes Later]
"we are going to find her" Lucy promises Tim as they get out of the car.
"we better" Tim responds.
"it's not your fault, you were trying to take care of Tamara and she volunteered" Lucy assures him.
"I should've been able to protect both at once" Tim sighs.
"Dad?" Tamara frowns, out of her hospital gown and leaving the room. "is mom back from dropping her grandparents off?"
"you haven't told her?" Lucy asks.
"Tamara, go wait in the car with Lucy, I'll explain on the way" Tim says.
