   By the time dusk rolls around, Chloe is fast asleep and Jason is keeping an eye on her when he sees someone in the junkyard.
    “Hey,” Jason says.
    “HEY!” he screams as he chases after the man. He catches up to him and realizes that it’s the guy from the concert the night before.
    “What the fuck are you doing here, dicksplash?” says the perp. Jason growls at him, and punches him in the face a few times, giving him a bloody nose.
    “You’re gonna tell me what you’re doing here, NOW!” Jason growls at him. Jason would not hold back in getting information if need be.
    Whimpering, the man tries getting up, and Jason knocks him back down.
    “No, no no, jackass. You’re not getting away that easy. Tell me now.” Jason takes out his knife and presses it to his face. “Also, tell me your name.”
    “John, and I ain’t tellin’ you shit!” John says.
    Jason, not being pleased by this, cuts Johns face a bit, mirroring his own facial scar.
    “OW! You motherfucker! When Damon finds you, he’ll-” John begins to say before Jason silences him with another punch in the face.
    “I’ve had enough of this. You either tell me, or I will fucking slit your goddamn throat!”
    “ALRIGHT!” John screams, scared for his life. “Alright… you wanna know why I’m here? I’m here because I thought that I left a drug stash here and I wanted to get high tonight. With Sheldon in the hospital, because of you, I wanted to blaze the fuck up. There. Are you happy now?” John explains.
    Jason contemplates the situation, and he growls, “Get the fuck out.”
    As he watches John run, Jason turns around and sees Chloe standing there, scared.
    “What the fuck just happened, Jason?” Chloe asks.
    “I didn’t trust him, and I did my job.”
    “Your job?”
    “I… I do things. It’s hard to explain.”
    Chloe doesn’t want to question it anymore, and Jason understands what she really wants. She wants to find Rachel to apologize.
    As Jason and Chloe walk towards Rachel, she looks at them and says, “Good. You came.” Jason decides to leave them alone, and he goes off, wondering what he should do about Damon’s lackey. Should I go after him tonight? Or wait until the right time. Fuck… what should I do!? What should I- Jason’s thoughts are disrupted by a ear piercing scream and the smell of fire. He knew that smell all too well.
    He runs towards the burning tree and sees Rachel in tears and Chloe trying to comfort her. Jason gets scared and when he realizes that Rachel started the fire, he panics. The two see this, and Jason falls to the ground, shaking and crying out, but he had no cohesive words coming out.
    “Jason?” Chloe’s muffled voice says. “Are you okay?”
    Jason, looking at Rachel and Chloe, attempts to stand up, but falls back down because of his panic attack.
    “I’ll… I’ll be fine…” Jason manages out before attempting to stand up again. This time, he was successful.
    The trio parts their separate ways. Jason returns to his apartment and goes to sleep, realizing that he has to go to Blackwell tomorrow to get a chat with Wells.
    Jason nods off, finally letting the nightmares consume him.
