Jeri sat down on a bench, exhausted from looking. She checked her watch. 4:30pm. She had been looking for almost an hour. There was one place she hadn't checked… the park. Once she had regained some energy, she rose to her feet and walked across the street to the park.
"I hope he's okay…" She whispered tearfully. "If anything happened to him…" She trailed off in heartbreak. She continued to walk, as tired as she was. "Takato?" She called. No answer. "Takato? Answer me! Please!!" No answer. "Okay… where in the park would Takato be? The playground? No… near Guilmon's hideout? Not now that Guilmon lives at the bakery… Ugh…" She sat down again, leaning against the back of the bench. "I'm so tired…" She yawned softly and closed her eyes for a few moments as she thought. 'I'm so worried about Takato… I have to keep looking…' She opened her eyes and forced himself up from her comfortable seat. "I could check by the lake…" She assumed. And so she headed towards the lake.
She narrowed her eyes as she got closer to the lake. "I see someone… sitting on that bench…" She said to herself. As she got closer, she could make out the figure… messy cinnamon hair, bright ruby eyes… "Takato!" She called running as fast as she could. "Takato, I'm *pant* so glad *pant* I finally found you! I've been so worried!" She reached out to put her hand on his shoulder but he just pulled away. "Ta-Takato…?"
