Jess was eating with Wheeler family, looking towards Mike with a worried glance.

They decided to have a sleepover since Jess' parents had gone off to a business meeting and would be back by tomorrow afternoon.

"We should be out there right now. We should be helping look for him." Mike argued, Jess nodding in agreement.

"We've been over this, Mike. The Chief says-"

"Screw what the Chief says!" Jess argued.

"Yeah! I don't care what the Chief said." Mike says, agreeing.

"Michael and Jessica!"

"We have to something. Will could be in danger."

"More reason to stay put."

"Mom!"

"Mrs. Wheeler!"

"End of discussion," she says, causing Jess to huff in anger, looking at Mike who shared her frustration.

"So...me and Barbara are gonna study at her house tonight. That's cool, right?" Nancy says, looking at her mom, causing Jess to look at Mike and roll her blue eyes, clearly hearing 'bullshit' from her sentence.

"No, not cool."

Jess and Mike smirked at each other, enjoying Nancy's misfortune together.

"What? Why not?"

"Why do you think? Am I speaking Chinese in this house? Until we know Will is okay, no one leaves."

"This is such bullshit."

"Language."

"So, we're under house arrest? Just because Mike and Jess' friend got lost on the way home from-"

"Wait, this is Will's fault?" Mike asked angrily.

"Oh my god you're such a bitch!" Jess exclaimed.

"Language."

"Nancy, take that back." Mrs. Wheeler warned.

"No!"

Jess flips her off, her face turning red in anger.

"You're just pissed off 'cause you wanna hang out with Steve," Mike calls her out, causing Jess to snort.

"Steve?"

"Who's Steve?"

"Her new boyfriend, that's who," Jess says.

"Colombian Whore!" Nancy yells.

"Language!"

Jess froze, her jaw dropping.

Mike glared at his sister.

Jess got up from the table, glaring at Nancy who just registered what she said but refused to apologize.

"Puta." she hissed, flipping her off as tears started to stream down her cheeks as she stormed to the basement.

"Look what you did you racist jerk," Mike growled at Nancy who rolled her eyes and left the table.

"Nancy, come back. Come back."

Mrs. Wheeler sighed and comforted Holly, who seemed to almost break into tears.
