Nodding her own head at Jack's instructions, Rose gathered a few other things together before stuffing them into her raincoat pockets. "Alright, we'll call you if we find him, and you call us if you find him." she said, making her way outside into the storm with Purple. The wind was picking up a bit, and they could hear thunder sounding in the distance.

Watching them leave, Jack then closed the door behind them to quickly gather up everything he'd need also.

That's when Rose's sister, Lily, strolled down the stairs to see what all the commotion was about. "Jack? Who was that at the door?" she asked, having thought she heard crying from downstairs.

"Zim is dead! Dib is missing! We have to find him!" Jack spat out bitterly, unable to hold it in any longer.

Lily jumped at those words, eyes wide. "Wh-What?! B-But how?! A-And...Oh, Jesus...I-I'll go wake up the kids to get them dressed. And then we'll help you search for him." she turned to run back upstairs so she could wake up her husband and kids.

Jack, meanwhile, went to go make a call to Tak's base.

QQQQQ

"What is it?" Gaz groaned into the receiver when she answered the phone, assuming at first that it was Zim or her brother calling them.

"Gaz, this is Jack! We need you over here ASAP! Something's happened, and your brother has run off! We need you to help us search for him!"

Gaz raised an eyebrow at those words before sighing out heavily. "Okay, okay. I'll be there in a few minutes." she said, going to sit up in bed as she doubted Jack would call her unless it was important.

"Please hurry. It's crucial that we find him soon. He's been out in this weather all night long, and we have no idea where he's gone. We just know that he's no longer at Zim's base."

Gaz groaned again. "He does this a lot. I'll be there in a few." she said before hanging up and heading for the door almost instantly, shouting at Tak where she was going before she left. She may not have shown it all too often, but she actually was very worried about her brother.

QQQQQ

Hanging up the phone on his end, Jack then returned to gathering what he needed as he waited for Gaz.

Thankfully for him, Gaz arrived at their house within a matter of minutes, Tak's base having been situated not too far away.

Jack was just finishing up packing what he needed when he heard a knock at the door and went to go get it. "Gaz. Thank you for coming on such short notice. I'm sorry I had to call you out here so early in the morning, but this is an emergency." he said as he stepped back to let her in.

"So where are we looking for him at?"

"Wherever you think your brother would go in such weather if not here or to where you're staying."

QQQQQ

Meanwhile, at the park, Purple arrived at the park with Rose just as a bit of lightning lit up the sky for a few moments. "Do you really think he'd come here?" he asked, this being one of the last places he assumed Dib would go after everything that had happened.

Rose shrugged. "I have no idea...Maybe..." she looked around. "I just hope he got out of the rain though..." she said, not wanting to think about Dib winding up somewhere without any shelter to take cover under.

Purple looked around also before spotting a small structure a little ways away from them. "H-How about there?" he pointed to the bathrooms in question.

Rose's face brightened when she saw the potential cover he could have taken refuge in. "Yeah! Let's check there!" she said before hurrying through the storm towards it.

Crossing the small playground there with Rose to the bathrooms, Purple was thankful to find just a little bit of shelter from the rain up until he looked up to see two signs on the wall, each with arrows pointing to different doors. "Wh-Which one should we check first?" he asked, not familiar with Earth restrooms.

Rose looked back and forth between the two doors. "If anyone else is in there, it might cause a mess…You take the men's room I'll check the women's." she said, pointing him in the direction of the men's bathroom before going to head for the women's.

"Alright." Purple nodded his head before splitting away from Rose to go and check the men's bathroom.

Dib, meanwhile, remained pressed up against the wall underneath the sink in the men's bathroom, panting, his eyelids drooping low as though he could barely keep them open. His antennae then seemed to snap back to attention however when he heard the door opening, causing him to jolt and sit up more, his vision a blur of colors in that moment.

Looking about the room, Purple then dropped his gaze down to Dib, his eyes widening at the state he was in. The other's clothes were completely soaked and sticking to him and he looked anything but coherent as he went to approach him. "Dib!" he just about sighed in relief. But before he could even get anywhere close to him, Dib began screaming.

"LEAVE ME ALONE, YOU BASTARDS! DON'T TOUCH ME AGAIN!" Dib screamed, shaking all over as he couldn't make out that it was Purple or the fact that he was alone.

Purple stopped in his tracks at the screaming, the hybrid kicking out his legs and pressing himself as far into the corner as was possible as his antennae fell back.

Hearing the screaming from the other bathroom over, Rose came running when she recognized Dib's voice. "Dib?!" she burst into the room where Purple and Dib both currently were.

Purple turned to look back at her panicked when she entered the bathroom. "H-He's freaking out! I don't know what to do!" he was suddenly frozen in his spot, afraid to move from that spot towards Dib in case the other was pushed towards committing another violent act in an attempt to defend himself.

His eyes darting about wildly, not able to focus on anything for longer than a few seconds at a time, Dib breathed heavily. He saw Rose, but she wasn't herself in his mind. She had suddenly warped into one of the guards that had raped him and he screamed even more. "STAY AWAY!" he screamed at her when she took a step towards him.

Rose froze terrified. "Dib...What do we do? We have to get him out of here." she said, knowing they couldn't just leave Dib there freaking out like this.

"W-Well, maybe we should call Jack a-and see if his sibling is with him. Perhaps they can help calm him down long enough for us to get him some medical attention. As soon as we've gotten him somewhere safe, I can go back to Zim's base and retrieve the medical drone we called up a few days ago."

Rose nodded and flipped out her cell phone to call Jack.

QQQQQ

Jack, meanwhile, had taken the car with Gaz to drive around near Zim's base in search of Dib, Lily and her husband having taken the kids to check out the area around where Dib and Gaz went to school. He parked the car when his phone started ringing and checked to see who was calling. "Oh, good. It's from Rose." he picked up the call. "Hello? Rose? Have you found Dib?" he asked, hoping she'd had more luck than he and Gaz were currently having.

"Yeah, we found him... But it's not good. Get over here as soon as possible and bring Gaz! We're in the park's men's room! Hurry!" Rose said in an all too urgent voice that had Jack's heart beating a little faster.
