It was almost as if it was a mind game, a perfect illusion that all the whole crew encountered. The fully conscious brunette vanished and it was almost a figment of their imagination. The green eyed female was in distress, leaving behind the other girls in attempt to find her. To find Camila.
"Lauren!" Normani yelled out towards the fuming Cuban whom punched the wall before wincing at the contact; her back hitting the wall as she slid down into a sitting position.
The ebony pulled down the blue bandana from her lips before moving to join the latter on the floor, arms wrapping around her knees. She could note the deterioration Lauren must be enduring right now. She knew that under the strength the woman built upon herself was a shattered person that needed her best friend more than anything at the moment.
"Laur, I understand how confused and hurt you are but this isn't the best place to breakdown in." Emerald orbs met chocolate ones as the young leader nodded her head in comprehension; standing up with tear stained eyes.
The duo ventured back towards the awaiting blonde that sighed in relief once noting her partners were safe and untouched.
"Ariana contacted me, stating that this warehouse is a decoy of the real building, she's not here." A hint of defeat was laced in Dinah's voice and the raven haired female groaned before walking past the girls, towards the exit door where a slam signified her absence.
"How was she doing back there?" The taller member questioned after the older latina was out of sight; turning to face Normani.
"As you'd expect, torn." She replied, complying into allowing the blonde to grasp ahold of her hand. "I can't comprehend this, Dinah. How could she be alive? We witnessed her death and funeral ourselves."
The memory brought back a moment of grief to the Polynesian as she looked away in thought. She was just as confused as the dark haired woman whom now was encased by her arms that were wrapped firmly around her torso; head resting on the blonde's chest.
"I'm as clueless as you are, Mani, and if I were aware of her whereabouts, you would be the first person I'd let know."
A smile formed on Normani's full lips as she tilted her head to stare up at the blonde woman whom reciprocated the action. Like usual, the ebony found herself falling deeper in love with the younger member; if that even was possible. She began to think that maybe these emotions that inhabited her mind weren't one sided, that Dinah shared the feelings. But, the older female knew that it was distant stretch for love to surface between the both of them following the latter's previous relationship.
Realization returned to the dark haired woman, resulting in her distancing herself from the blonde as she shoved her hands in the back pockets of her jeans.
"The others must be waiting. I think we should go." Normani spoke, clearing her throat.
Dinah nodded in agreement and followed behind the beautiful brown skinned female who lead that way out of the building.

The group crowded around Hayley and Ariana, eyes trained on the illuminated screens in front of them. The petite brunette proceeded with viewing the security footage, whizzing past the latest footage of the mines Kehlani and Ashley had placed setting off; igniting the building into flames. Her caramel tinted orbs settled on the footages that she skipped past before halting her action; finding something they've been looking for.
"Here, this one."
The other girls followed Ariana's finger to a video of hooded figures hastily exiting the warehouse merely an half an hour upon their arrival. Momentarily intrigued, the emerald eyed leader's eyes glistened in contemplation, meeting the blonde's ferocious ones in attempt for some sort of plan.
