*The scene opens with Penrose running towards Riley's car. He reaches it and attempts to open the door but it is locked.*

Penrose: Should've Figured. Riley's Keys!

*Keys fly out of Penrose's Holster and into his hands. He presses the unlock button and then opens the door.*

Penrose: Nice car, kid. I'll make sure it makes it out of here in one piece.

*Penrose starts the car and reverses out of the parking spot before throwing it in drive and speeding out of the lot, as he does he begins to hear sirens.*

Penrose: Was wondering how long it would take for them to arrive.

*Penrose pulls onto the road and begins driving away when he looks in the rear view mirror and sees a cop car following him with their sirens on.*

Penrose: Shit.

*Penrose pulls over and the cop then pulls up behind him. The officer steps out of the car and approaches Penrose with his pistol drawn.*

Officer: Step out of the vehicle, now!

*Penrose complies and steps out with his hands already raised above his head.*

Officer: Detective? What the hell are you doing here?

Penrose: I was investigating something.

Officer: I see, and does your investigation have something to do with all those dead bodies at the hospital?

Penrose: Unfortunately it does. I commandeered this vehicle to chase the suspects but they managed to escape.

Officer: Do you know what they look like? Were they in a vehicle?

Penrose: I didn't get a good look at their faces but they were in a blue Mustang.

Officer: Do you know what year model?

Penrose: Ah shit. I'm not really a car guy, it was an older model, I guess some would call it a classic.

Officer: Okay. Well you leave it to us, we'll catch them. You just go on with your day.

Penrose: Alright.

*The officer walks back to his car and gets in. He grabs the radio and speaks into it.*

Officer: All units, suspects are presumed to be in a classic blue mustang heading east.

*Penrose gets back into the Challenger and closes the door. He watches as the officer drives past him and then watches as 15 more squad cars drive past.*

Penrose: That's a lot of people to catch nobody.

*Penrose begins driving again, he turns left and continues driving for roughly 45 minutes before pulling into an abandoned building.*

Penrose: This spot looks good.

*Penrose steps out of the car and holds his hand out in front of him, as his stand flies into his hand.*

Penrose: Release!

*The group all fly out of the stand but are corrected into a standing position before hitting the ground.*

Ryan: What the?

Andrew: How did we get here?

Penrose: I escorted you boys here inside the vortex of my stand.

Zack: A vortex escort? An escortex!

Ryan: A what?

Zack: An escortex. You take the words escort and vortex and combine them.
