Even though Tyler wanted to be by Chris's side, he still had P3 to take care of. He'd been getting everything ready for the night when Luna walked in and started down the steps. “Hey Halliwell, the police have arrived.”

Tyler looked up from his work, trying to smile, but he couldn't. Luna sat down on the stool and asked how his brother was doing. “He's pushing through it. Not sure if he's more hurt physically or mentally.” 
 
Luna groaned sadly, “Is he having nightmares from the attack?” She asked while motioning for a water bottle. 

“Oh no, I'm not talking about the attack,” Tyler handed her the water bottle and rested his arms on the counter, “none of us have seen our father in days. I don't know if he's just being an asshole or if something happened.” 

Luna raised her eyebrow and went into cop mode, “Days? He wasn't at the hospital?” she watched her friend shake his head, “Well, when was the last time you saw Wyatt?” 

Tyler had to think hard about it, “It had to be before I reopened P3… right before Papa filed for divorce.” 

The cop immediately took out her phone and started taking down notes. She knew she needed to be smart about this since demons or warlocks could very much be involved. “Okay, so he's been missing for a couple weeks. Has anyone tried calling him?”

Tyler nodded, telling her that Wyatt had been Chris's emergency contact for the hospital, but remembered hearing that they couldn't reach him. Luna continued writing down notes and promised she'd do anything to try to find him. “But of course, knowing where our families come from, this could be a totally different situation.” 

Tyler did admit it was possible demons could be behind whatever was going on. “That actually reminds me, Chris and Jake do have a theory that the Source could be behind sending demons after us. It's possible my father was caught up in the middle.” 

Luna sighed frustratedly, “Which means you technically can't send in a report in case nothing can be found.” She used her finger to tap on the counter while she thought. “Do you know if anyone else from your family has seen, heard or could be looking for him?” 

Tyler said he could ask around, and remembered he and, well, technically Andrew had tasked their older cousins to help track Wyatt down. “I haven't heard from anyone, but maybe they found something?”
 
Luna nodded and asked for anyone's phone number so Tyler had given her Patience’s since she was the last person he'd seen besides Andrew. Their cousin immediately picked up and confirmed the supernatural theory. A few seconds later, Patience beamed into P3 right beside the police officer. 

“Patience!” Tyler loudly exclaimed, “There could have been non magical people in here!” 

“Sure, whatever, no time for that!” Patience was fast to update Tyler and Luna where Wyatt's been and that the Source is behind everything. “PJ’s been trying to get a vision off of something we've found of your dad's, but she hasn't had any luck yet.” 

Tyler couldn't believe what he was hearing since he was sure Wyatt was up to no good. Now he was feeling a little guilty; he wasn't more aware of what was going on. He asked Patience where he'd found the phone, and the woman tried her best to describe the chamber. 

“That's the thing though,” the woman continued, “he could be anywhere right now, but we're sure he's still in the Underworld since we can't scry for him up here.”
