FLORIAN DAIS
Hey, just checking on you guys.
ALLY
Hey, Florian.
FLORIAN DAIS
Hello.
AMBER
Good afternoon, Dr. Dais.
FLORIAN DAIS
Amber, you can call me Florian. I tell you this every month.
AMBER
Then you should stop wasting your time.
ALLY
Is everything okay?
FLORIAN DAIS
Yeah, Ryan just got in over his head. We'll find him and bring him back.
AMBER
And then what?
FLORIAN DAIS
We'll get him whatever help he needs.
AMBER
...
FLORIAN DAIS
So, you guys are good?
ALLY
Yeah. It is just been a big shock.
FLORIAN DAIS
Well, you have me, and a whole team of doctors, for whatever you need, so just let me know if I can help.
ALLY
I think I will be fine, but I will let you know if I change my mind.
FLORIAN DAIS
Good. And let me know if Ryan reaches out to you guys.
AMBER
Why would he call us if he ran away?
ALLY
Are you sure he is okay?
FLORIAN DAIS
Yes, but he is in a fragile mental state. It is imperative for his health that we find him immediately. He might call you looking for support.
AMBER
Did you call the police?
FLORIAN DAIS
They are treating it like any other case for a runaway child, so Ryan's not really their priority. Luckily, I have some friends who specialize in... retrieval, who agreed to help find him.
ALLY
That is reassuring.
AMBER
I feel safer already...
FLORIAN DAIS
Well, the police or my friends might come in to ask you guys some questions, not today, but you will have to come back next week.
ALLY
Anything to help out, I just feel so useless.
FLORIAN DAIS
Just answer any questions they have about Ryan and it will be enough.
AMBER
Absolutely. We all just want to find Jax.
FLORIAN DAIS
Right, Jax... Well, I will see you guys before you go?
ALLY
Okay. Thank you.
FLORIAN DAIS
Of course.

ALLY
That was weird, right?
AMBER
Really weird.
