Justin Foley and Elizabeth Jensen were brought into Dennis Vasquez's office by Matt and Lainie Jensen. "Do either of you have any idea where Clay is?" Clay did not come home the night before.
Elizabeth shook her head, looking up at Justin. "I have no clue." Justin spoke to his family. "When I came home last night, he wasn't there."
"And what time was that?" Dennis questioned him.
"Around midnight." Justin answered, grabbing onto Elizabeth's hand nervously. "When I woke up this morning, his bed was still made."
"I tried to call his phone after Justin told me Clay was gone, but then I remembered that the cops had it." Elizabeth stated.
Dennis furrowed his eyebrows. "And he gave neither of you any indication that he intended to flee?"
Elizabeth looked down at her and Justin's hands as her boyfriend spoke. "No warning at all."
"Well, can you blame him?" Matt scoffed, leaning back in his seat. "The police just kicked down our door, for Christ's sake. He's scared shitless."
"Justin, Eliza, I know that you both want to protect Clay, but if there is something either of you are not telling us-"
"We don't know anything, mom." Elizabeth cut off her mother.
Justin sighed as he leaned closer towards Elizabeth. "He clearly didn't want us to know."

"Clay fucking ran away."
"He what?" Zach Dempsey's eyes widened as Elizabeth spoke to him through the phone. He was sitting in the boy's locker room after lifting his morning weights. "Holy shit."
"He's gone, and Justin and I are really worried about him."
Zach did not realize that he was speaking as loud as he was. "So, he's just gone?" Montgomery De La Cruz began to listen to every word that came out of his mouth.
"Yes, literally what I just fucking said. Please, if you see him, call me straight away. I'm freaking the fuck out. The cops are really going to think he killed Bryce now. Why the fuck would he do this?!"
"Eliza, calm down. If I see him, I'll call you, but I-"
"No buts, alright? Just do it."
"Yeah. Okay." Zach nodded. "Bye." He ended the call, placing his phone into his back pocket.
Montgomery smirked as he moved closer towards Zach. "Was that Eliza? Did she proclaim her undying love for you?"
