A/N: Barry is on the trail of the missing people...hopefully.
Barry's analysis was interrupted by Joe, who walked into his lab with an impatient "Barry, have you got that analyzed yet?"
Barry sighed, turning to Joe, and said rather huffily "NO."
Joe looks carefully at his adoptive son, who is rubbing his eyes and frowning at his computer screen.
"Did you forget to eat again?"
"Yes, I did. I'm busy. I will call you when I get this." Barry glances at him before sitting down heavily at his desk.
"I'll call for pizza." Joe suggests, not taking the not-so-subtle hint to leave.
"Fine." Barry growls, his mood not lightened by the possibility of food.
Joe dials for pizza, six of their normal kind. Then he looks at Barry, who is looking worried, running his hand through his hair. "Barry, we'll find them."
"How is the person who was found? I gave Cisco the blood for Caitlin to analyze. I'm working on the dirt. From what I've got so far, it looks like it might be from Keystone. But I'm trying to narrow it down." Barry stands up and walks towards the window, looking out at his beloved city.
"Terra Michaels. That's her name. She is not looking so good. She was pretty much okay, despite the car and the blood we found, but they admitted her."
"Wait, admitted her?" Barry turns to look at him. Joe is sitting at Barry's desk, slowly clearing off the space for their pizzas.
"Yeah, to the Psych Unit. The doctors said she was hallucinating and they couldn't figure out the cause. Her sister, Olive, said that she was fine before she went missing. I'm not sure what's happening with her now." He shrugs.
"Do they know what she was hallucinating?" Barry asked, turning back to the window.
"The doctors said she was muttering and screaming a lot before they sedated her." Joe sounds slightly confused.
"What was she saying?" A shiver goes down Barry's spine.
"From what they could tell, Terra was saying there was a woman in her head. Someone kept turning out all their lights, supposedly. Not the real ones, in her room, but the ones in her mind. Anything purple too. She freaked out when she saw anything purple, whether it be a shirt or the color of one of the walls."
"Huh." Barry is stumped by this last piece of information.
"That's what I said. Maybe her sister was wrong, though. Maybe she was crazy to begin with." Joe sounds even more uncertain now.
"I don't know...We'll see what Caitlin says. Perhaps wherever she was, she got spiked with something or she was doing drugs."
"Maybe..." Joe says and they trail off into a few minutes of silence.
"I heard about the tip line they set up. How's that going?" Barry says, breaking the silence.
Joe sighs heavily, then replies. "I was against it. Tip lines always bring out the crazies, bar none. But Captain said it was probably our best bet at finding more of the missing people."
"I suppose..." Barry's machine dings and he walks over to it.
"Yep. What I thought: Keystone. It couldn't narrow down the search though. So I might run over there later today."
"Mm. I'd say wait and see if the tip line ends up with anything."
Just then, their pizza arrived. The pizza delivery boy walked in, holding six pizzas and looking around curiously. Joe paid him and then shooed him out.
