Donna, Hyde, and Eric made it to the bar and got three beers. Hyde sat quietly, beer in hand, looking sad. Eric noticed and put his hand on Hyde's shoulder.
"Hyde, I know you're sad about Jackie, but she promised you that she'd be back." He said.
"I know man, but it doesn't make it better." he said.
"Hyde, listen. You haven't left your room in almost a month, you don't do circles anymore, and you haven't beaten up Kelso in a long time." Donna said.
"What are you guys trying to do?" Hyde said a little aggravated.
"We're trying to help you." Donna said.
"Well stop. I don't need anyone's help."
Hyde got up and went out the door. Eric and Donna followed him to the street.
"Hyde!" Eric said.
Hyde turned around and tried to hit Eric. Eric having enhanced speed avoided it and Hyde fell to the ground. Eric pulled Hyde up and planted him against a building.
"Hyde, this is not who you are! You are a smoking, drinking, Zen master! Most importantly you're my best friend! I don't know where he went but I want him back!" Eric said.
Hyde looked surprised at Eric's outburst; he never knew his friend had this anger in him. Donna put her hand an Eric's arm. He looked at her and let go of Hyde.
Meanwhile:
A sniper was set up in an abandon building down the street from the bar. He pulled out his radio and tuned it to a certain frequency.
"I'm set up, just waiting on the signal." He said.
In a van parked outside the bar a group of thugs were loading ammo into their Ak's. One man pulled out his radio and replied in a thick German accent.
"Do you see the target?"
"They are in my sights right now."
"Okay, remember you incapacitate them and we will recover them."
"Targets are in prime position. Waiting on signal."
"Arizona."
Back outside the bar Eric is helping Hyde up when he saw a flash of light and the sound of a gun went off. Eric moved out of the way but the bullet grazed his leg. A stream of blood fell on the ground and Eric limped down the alley as Hyde and Donna ran out of the sniper's line of sight. The van drove up and blocked the entrance way. The thug's got out and surrounded them. The thugs pointed their guns at them. They all heard the sound of sirens and the thugs turned around. Cops started to flood into the alley and Eric, Donna, and Hyde duck behind a dumpster. A gun fight soon broke out. Most the thugs were down before the leader grabbed Hyde. The cops held their fire as the leader pointed the gun at the cops. Eric looked around and found an old, rusted knife that someone threw out. He grabbed it and threw it at the thug. It hit his hand and he dropped the gun. Hyde elbowed his head and he released him. Hyde dove away from him as the cops surrounded the thug. The thugs that were alive were put in cuffs and taken to jail. Eric helped Hyde up and they went home.
Later:
"They failed, Sir." The doctor said over the phone.
"They shall be punished." He pushed a button, "I've made sure of it."
"How shall we proceed, they failed to get the vigilante's blood. We can't remake it without the base."
"We will figure it out, Doctor." He pulled out a picture, "She depends on it."
Prison:
Doctors and police ran into different cells, removing the dead bodies of the thugs.
"We don't know what happened, we brought them in for attempted homicide on three kids and about two hours later they were having seizures and had foam coming out of their mouths. Now they all died." One cop said to a doctor.
"I don't know what could have caused this but my staff and I will do our best to find out." a doctor said.
