Tyler strums his ukulele lightly while Josh is once again on the computer trying to finds hints to Abigail's whereabouts. Tyler stares at Josh, bites his lip, then focuses back onto the ukulele.

Tyler begins to sing and play a song he's been working on,

"Sometimes you gotta bleed to know
That you're alive and have a soul
But it takes someone to come around
To show you how"

Josh looks at Tyler in confusion. He hasn't heard this song before, Tyler never showed him it. He's confused, but intrigued. Oh, so intrigued. Josh smiles at Tyler with his eyebrows furrowed. Tyler winks,

"He's the tear in my heart
I'm alive
He's the tear in my heart
I'm on fire
He's the tear in my heart
Take me higher
Than I've ever been!"

Tyler has a huge grin plastered on his face as he stares at Josh and sings to him. Josh has an even bigger one.

"The songs on the radio are okay
But my taste in music is your face
Yeah!"

Tyler laughs as he finishes. He places his ukulele down and smiles sheepishly at Josh, his face flushing red. Josh chuckles, "What was that?" Tyler smiles softly, "A new song I've been working on, it's called, 'Tear In My Heart.' Someone gave me inspiration." Josh grins, "C'mere." Tyler gets up and walks over to Josh, Josh pats his thighs signaling for Tyler to sit on his lap. Tyler complies.

Josh kisses Tyler's cheek and cuddles him in his lap. Tyler feels he might cry, he's so happy and in love.
"Josh, you really need to take a break. Let me look for a bit while you rest." Josh nods his head in agreement. Tyler gets up and waits for Josh to get up and lay on the bed. He does so, and Tyler instantly sits down in the desk chair and turns towards the conputer.

He scrolls and scrolls through multiple articles and sites, but finds nothing. Until finally, he lands on a site called, "Lost Hope Sanctuary." He reads on and on about it to find out it's a place for kids who feel broken; lost. They don't know what to do with their life because of recent trauma that has happened to them. Mental or physical trauma; or both. He even finds out it's located in the Ohio area.

He notices a section labeled, 'Kids' and clicks on it. He reads that many of the kids are healing; slowly, but surely. He continues reading, trying to find leads on Abigail. Then finally, he sees a picture of her. Underneath it, it's labeled, "Abigail Dun was kidnapped a few months back. She escaped her kidnapper and found herself at our sanctuary. She desperately wants to go home, but doesn't know how to contact her family nor does she know her way back home. She misses her family and wants nothing else than to see them again." It lists other kids who need help finding their family, but Tyler's focused on Abigail. He does give a prayer to the other kids, though.

"J-Josh, come here." Tyler demands shakily. Josh shoots up and speeds over, "What is it?" Tyler looks up at Josh and smiles, "It's her." Josh grins, but continues reading it for confirmation.

"Oh, my God. It's really her. I'm going to get my little sister back. I'm going to complete my task. Tyler, holy crap, I love you! Thank you!" Josh states enthusiastically. He smacks a wet kiss on Tyler's forehead and embraces him in a tight hug.

"Let's go get her and bring her back home to us."
