     All the kids, with the exception of one, had arrived. Dirk was on the verge of another breakdown, but he was trying to keep it together, at least long enough to explain what happened. He had already picked up the note and put his shades back on.
Everyone was standing or sitting in the small living room, Dirk was sitting on the couch in between Roxy and Dave, both were trying to comfort him but all he could do was stare at the paper in his hands. Karkat couldn't take the suspense anymore, but instead of his usual yelling, he kneeled in front of Dirk and placed a gentle hand on his, " Dirk... What does the paper say?"
Dirk felt his eyes overflow with tears, which surprised Karkat, but he didn't make a sound. He handed the paper to Roxy, who read the first line to herself and almost threw it at Dave before wrapping her arms around Dirk and crying into his shoulder. Dirk shoosh papped her. Rose quickly took the note from Dave and began reading it aloud. Her voice broke so many times while reading it and she was crying by the time it was done. Everyone in attendance was crying, or sobbing, or supporting someone that was crying or sobbing and Dirk couldn't take it anymore. He hated that he hadn't just come over when Jake said he was sick. He should have been there. He should have–
     "dirk what do you want to do?," his brother asked.  " What I want do?... I want to go fucking find him and..... I want ...to find him alive. I want to hold and tell him how much I fucking love him...," his voice got quieter as he spoke and his tears fell faster. "He probably left after he told me he was sick two days ago, and he probably went somewhere we haven't explored yet, which is over 80% of this goddam planet," he continued after taking a deep breath, " If I go alone I might could find him fast–"
"theres no way in HELL im lettinf you go alone dirk! *letting", Roxy all but yelled at him. She got up and stood in front of him as if to stop him from leaving, " all of us are gonna go look for him and you are gonna let is! *us. so get your butts up we are going right now!," she began marching towards the door. Jane stopped her, "Roxy... We don't even know where to start."
       She drunk gasped and turned around, almost tripping, and stomped to John, " you can still use the windy thing. Can you hide the wind to find him?" John nodded in response to the statement before replying," i-i don't know i've never tried using it to find someone."
"then now is a great time," she grabbed his arm and started dragging him to the door, it seemed like she was sobering up very quickly. She was out the door with John before anyone could stop her, so they all just followed.
