Cassie and Cole were walking along the sidewalk, people took pictures of them and posted them on media. "I haven't heard some Zeke in a while. What do you think he's up to?" Cassie asks and Cole sighs, "Probably doing something crazy, like be in way over his head." he answers, "He means well, trying to help out, without having powers." she tells him, he nods, "I know, but I can't help but worry about the guy." he tells her. But then they stop as they heard a speakerphone is turned on. "You think you can come over here, doing what you please? Think again! We've got you fat friend – and we're going to kill him real slow." a man calls out as Zeke was trapped in a cage hanging from one of the cranes.

Cole clutches his fist as electricity shot around his arm, "You idiots just made the biggest mistake of your lives." Cole growls and then both he and Cassie ran over and saw an entrance into the shipyard, step through and the fence closes behind them. But the continued forward. "Where is he?!" Cole snaps as Dust Men ambush them, but throw out Hammer, making them explode, then fires at the ramp above them and makes the two crash down and he finishes them off. Cassie looks at the damage that Cole had dealt out and she steps over the bodies next to him, "Remind me to never get on your bad side." she tells him, "Noted." he answers and they both stop and saw the valve that controls the flow of the steam.

He turns it and the bottom row of Steam went off as the top row came on. Cassie ran to the ladder as Cole then ran over to the next valve and turns it, making both rows go off.

Cassie quickly climbs up, jumps onto the thick wore, walks across it and jumps down onto a ramp, Cole jumps down next to her and he jumps down onto the ground as Cassie followed him down. "This is my Island! My home! Do you know how long I've waited for this? No one, no one will stop me." the man calls out, "Just keep on blathering. You'll get yours." Cole promises him and they both saw a grenade launcher in the Dust Men hands, Cassie shot at the ramp and make the Dust Man fall down, then looks up. "This island is home to everyone, now you Jackass!" she shouts and flips the crane off and Cole threw a Hammer at him, making him explode wounded people, Cassie walks over to them as Cole kept a lookout, "Cole, your GPS says you're at the Shipyards. What are you doing?" Moya asks as he calls them, "Killing the Bastards that kidnapped Zeke." Cole answers her. "It's his own fault. You can't run out and rescue him every time he gets into trouble," she informs him and Cole clutch his hand.

"I don't abandon my friends." Cole snaps at her then ends the call as Cassie went to heal them, but stops as she knew someone was watching her. She turns and sent out a shockwave as the rocket was redirected right back at Dust Men and he fell back. Cassie stood ready for him then used Precision and took him out, Cole ran over and heal the predestines and they continued through the maze.

Killed a Dust Men there, blew a trash-crab here, fry a few Dust Men there, they continued through the maze until they were at the top of the containers and looks a the cage, "Zeke? Can you hear me?" Cole calls out, but then a rocket was fired at the cage, killing all the people inside, "ZEKE!!" Cole shouts as Cassie gasps. "Cole! Hey Cole, over here!" Zeke calls out to them, they look over and saw Zeke in a cage, by himself at the edge of the yard. Cassie exhales with relief, "Hang in there buddy. I'm coming." Cole mutters and they ran for it, but the two split up as Cassie went and collected the dead drop and return back to Cole "You got it?" he asks her. She nods at him. "Play it," he states as they hung from the edge of the container and she did so.

'Is anyone over there listening to these drops? It's been two weeks since I've had any contact with the agency, and the stuff I've seen is a million times worse than what we expected. Animals with superpowers, people moving things with their minds. You can't expect me to handle all of this all on my own.'
