Tyler drives into the field. He drives straight to the Warehouse. He parks right in front of the building. The trio get out and rush into the same door that Nancy went into moments ago.
Inside the Warehouse, they look around for Nancy. It's a large building and there are several places that she can be at.
TYLER: NANCY!
ABBY: NANCY!
ANTON: NANCY!
NANCY: TYLER! I'M OVER HERE!
They run over to the door. Tyler opens the vision panel. He can see his little sister inside the room.
TYLER: Nancy.
NANCY: Tyler.
TYLER: Thank God, you're okay. Why did you come here? You know he was tricking you.
Nancy begins to cry. She thinks that she's in trouble.
NANCY: I wanted to save Coach Wisher. You understand, right?
Tyler smiles. He can't be mad at her for following her heart. She was trying to save someone she cares about. Tyler, of all people, should know how she feels.
TYLER: I do. Let's get you out of here.
Anton finds the keys hanging beside the door.
ANTON: The keys are here.
He hands them to Tyler.
TYLER: He wanted us to find them. He wanted us to release her. It's part of his plan. Whatever it is.
Tyler uses the keys to unlock the door. They open the door and Nancy runs out into Tyler's arms.
TYLER: Oh, Nancy. I'm so glad that you're okay.
Nancy then hugs Abby.
ABBY: Hey, sweetie.
Nancy turns to Anton. She goes over to him and wraps her arms around her much bigger and eldest brother. It's the very first time that the brother and sister have made any kind of connection since he met his family.
TYLER: Let's get out of here.
NANCY: Wait! I wanna find Coach Wisher first.
ANTON: She's right. We can't just leave him helpless. Also the killer allowed us to save her. He is planning something. Why don't we find him rather him find us. Let's confront him ourselves.
ABBY: Exactly. We can end this together.
Tyler thinks a moment before he nods.
TYLER: Alright. Let's find the Coach and let's definitely find this fucker.
Tyler pulls out his knife.
ANTON: Oh, good. I'm glad that I'm not the only one armed.
Anton pulls up his shirt to reveal a concealed pistol.
TYLER: That might come in handy.
Abby takes out her wallet revealing a metal chain.
ABBY: Whip or strangle. I can do both.
Nancy feels left out without a weapon.
NANCY: What do I do?
TYLER: No matter what happens. You run. Your legs are weapons of defense.
Together the Quartet look around the long path of doors. They try opening several doors. Most are locked. The ones that aren't locked are empty. Anton has his gun pulled out and has it aimed everywhere. He looks behind him, both ways, up, and at each door they check. Looking for the killer.
NANCY: COACH!
ABBY: MR. WISHER!
TYLER: COACH WISHER!
They hear the sounds of somebody muffling from the last door.
NANCY: (pointing to the last door) OVER THERE!
They run to the last door. Anton points his gun at it. He nods at Tyler to open the door. Tyler opens the door. Inside is Wisher alone and handcuffed to a chair with tape over his mouth. He looks like hell. He's all bloodied up and bruised.
NANCY: Coach!
They all run to Wisher's side. Tyler rips the tape off of his mouth.
WISHER: Thank God, you guys came. I thought he was going to kill me the next time he came in.
Tyler checks his handcuffs.
TYLER: It needs a key.
WISHER: I think he kept one on the counter there.
Anton goes over to the counter and finds the key. He hands it to Tyler, who unlocks the handcuffs. Wisher's hands are free. He grabs his wrists, feeling the relief of free hands. Nancy hugs him.
NANCY: Are you okay?
WISHER: I think so. Why did you come here?
NANCY: Because...I like you.
Wisher smiles.
WISHER: You're such a sweetheart.
Wisher goes to get up. The other three adults approach to help him but Wisher holds his hands up with the "I got this" signal. Despite his injuries, Wisher is strong enough to walk out on his own even while limping.
WISHER: We should get out of here before he comes back.
TYLER: Actually, we've decided that we're gonna stay and find him ourselves. It's time to the end this once and for all.
Wisher nods in agreement.
WISHER: Definitely. After the pain I've just been through, I'd like to get a piece of him myself. Besides, our goal is to protect Nancy. And I'm willing to risk my life for her protection.
Nancy smiles. She just risked her life for his and now he's gonna do the same for her. However, Nancy has some guilt feelings. The last time people risked their lives for her, which was also the last time she attempted to save Wisher, her Grandpa Red and Aunt Donna were killed.
Stay tune for the next chapter "The Face Behind X" where Tyler, Abby, Anton, Wisher, and Nancy are confronted by X, who will finally reveal himself. Can the four adults and Nancy be able to fight the much more powerful X despite their prior injuries and their obvious lack of strength? Find out in the next chapter.
