She didn't return to the mansion that night. Nor the next few days.

He was beyond worried. He kept blaming himself. He knew she was doing something dangerous especially if it involved her disguised as an officer. She would be under lock and key if they found out who she really was..... or worse, she could be killed. That made him want to punch the wall which he was just about to do. If only Slender would let go of his hands and feet.

"Calm down, Jeffrey. I'm sure she's out there somewhere. Maybe, she just wanted sometime out of the mansion. She didn't seem to be getting enough sleep in a while and I believe she is more stressed these days." He tried to calm him down, keeping the killer restrained using his tentacles.

The reassurance Slendy was trying to convey made him blame himself even more.

He made her leave. She didn't want to face him anymore. But why? Why did she have to push him away? He tried to make her tell, so he could see if he could help her in any way possible.... instead he made her run away.

Tch. Jane! I was hoping you wouldn't do anything stupid!
You could've asked for help... you should've just opened up to me.

Why must you keep secrets from me? Do you not trust me that much? Is it because of what I did? I thought you already forgave me? Or could it be....

........ you said you needed to take care of personal business. But your a terrible liar. To me, at least. I know you wouldn't just suddenly go out of your way to lie and hide things from me...... It's me isn't it?

Getting information off of police just to help me in my investigation?.... Why? Why would you risk doing something like that? Why do all of this for me?

I should be risking my life out there. I should be the one solving this problem..... I couldn't care less of what would happen to me. I don't want you to risking your life for someone like me.

I can die happy if you'll be safe. But I can't live without you....especially knowing that you died for me.... I don't want to live in a world without you.

You know why I couldn't kill you, even back then? Instead of shoving a knife into your heart, I burned you alive and made you look like me. Because I wanted to be partners. I wanted to live a life of crime with you. You were the only one that tried to help. Who tried to understand. Back then, our classmates would always avoid me. But you gave me reassurance. You said I still had a friend, and that friend was you.

I should've known. I shouldn't have been so careless. I knew I should've forced Zalgo to give me another day off. I couldn't keep track of you.

Now all I can do is sulk here in my own regrets. Hoping that your still alive.

Nooo.... You know what? I'm going to look for you. I can't calm down when the woman I love is out there risking her life for me.

"Slender.... let me go." I said calmly this time.

"Jeff, I know what your planning. But you need to think about this fir-"

"I said let me go!!!" I shouted with more force this time.

"I need to see her. I need to know if she's okay!!!" I tried to break away from his hold.

"Please.... Just let me go....." his once strong became weak and vulnerable.

Slender let him go. At that moment he dashed through the front door. Into the human world, he did it without even disguising himself. Without thinking he went through the same portal that was under investigation.

He doesn't care, this was the fastest way to the recent location she was in.

He saw a police officer that looked like Jane. Her back was facing him as she ran away. Seeing her alive was enough to lighten the weight on his chest.

"Jane wait!" He shouted as she ran away. He followed in pursuit.

"Please wait! I know you don't want to see me. I know I drove you away! But.... but I just want to make sure your okay." He said as he chased her into the city. She didn't listen and ran faster. He pulled his hoodie up to prevent being seen.

"Jane stop!" He ordered, he caught up to her and made her turn around.

"Your not Jane." He stated. The officer had an emotionless face. He didn't notice they were in a dead end. He felt a sharp pain to his side. Electric currents travelled through his veins. He dropped to the floor but he was still awake. Fighting the urge to pass out. White spots were in his field of vision.

"Who would've known my little brother would be so worked up over a girl?" A man loomed over him. He was covered in stitch marks.

Jeff struggled to keep his line of vision straight. He couldn't quite understand what the man was saying.

"Little brother? The only brother I ever had is dead." He claimed as he tried to stand up. His vision was still unclear. He felt another sharp pain, this time on his arm. This time he felt even more sleep. A tranquilizer maybe?

"Don't worry. Everything will be alright. As long as you come with us without any difficulty." Another stranger declared.

"Of course, you wouldn't want anything bad to happen would you?" He said threatening him.

"I'm not afraid of getting hurt." He spat

"I believe you misunderstood. What I meant was. You wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her would you?" They pushed another person towards him.

"Jane!" He saw her snow white skin covered in bruises and cuts.

"What did you do to her?!!!" He shouted angrily

"We tried to get information.... but she wouldn't cooperate." The man claiming to be his brother explained. He gripped his knife tightly

"Get ready to Go To Fucking Sleep!!!" He dashed towards them but at the first step he took they pulled out her knife and pointed it towards her neck. It made him stop in his tracks.

"Uhp pup pup! Play nice. Or else.... she gets it." The hilt was getting close to come in contact with her skin.

"Tch..... if I go with you. Would you let her go?" He asked. They nodded.

The girl's protests were muffled by the cloth on her mouth. Her eyes pleaded with tears as if saying to just leave her and go to safety. But he couldn't just leave like that. Not when he knows she could die at any moment in their hands.

He dropped his knife to the floor in surrender. He looked down feeling helpless. But he wanted to give her a look of reassurance.

They let her go. But guns were still aimed from every direction at both of them.

"It's okay Jane. I'll be back in no time." He said with a hug right before pushing her into the portal.

He let them cuff his hands and push him to the car. Another two dosages of tranquilizer were injected to him. And he was fast asleep.

He was smiling in his slumber. A relieved smile. He can endure any pain he would receive as long as she would be safe.
