Alex was afflicted all day knowing that he'd betrayed Karen's trust by consulting the coven. For this reason, he repeatedly searched her concealed belongings seeking a private journal. (A ledger that depicted Karen's recent thoughts and experiences). Although, amid sifting Jessica and Jordan arrived expectedly furious and distraught.
"Where is she...!?" she demanded after entering.
"Gone." he answered.
Jessica vigorously whisked through her dark red hair and scowled.
"To the islands?"
Alex paused, realizing that only Karen knew for sure.
"I suspect America, but she's not the same."
Jordan closed.
"What do you mean?"
"The way she sounded..." he clarified. "I'm certain that Karen has invoked the spirit."
"She doesn't have the expertise..." she proclaimed. "Second of all, the ascension isn't complete."
Karen had acquired specific spells over time expecting to bolster Nemesis' spirit. In light of this, Alex felt ashamed because he'd acted against their will and aided Karen's diabolical cause.
Jessica's resentment had also heightened knowing she was equally as responsible. In whatever way, finding her daughter mattered most and if memory served she knew where to look.
"Stay out of this; we'll handle it." Jessica insisted as she and Jordan prepared to depart.
"I've never understood any of this..." Alex stated. "But, I understand Karen."
Jessica glared.
"And..." he continued. "If your assumptions are true and you intend to save her then you'll need this."
Alex gradually unveiled a ruby satin case containing Karen's inherited gemstone and presented it to Jessica.
"Where'd you get that?!" she barked.
"Not important..." Alex retorted after offering the epoch. "Though, saving your daughter is."
