Where is Mike?

As Tina stepped into the locker room she could feel the tension. Still wondering why Finn and not Mike had called she looked around. She saw Finn, Puck, Sam and Artie seated around a bench, coach Beiste was sitting down and Mr. Schue turned to her.

"Where is Mike?" the guys glanced at each other, not sure of what to say. That was when Tina got worried. Seeing the reaction from the boys she turned to coach Beiste: "Where is Mike?" she asked again.

"He took off, he was really angry and disappointed with the other guys. He ranted and then left." Beiste explained.

"And he left his letterman." Puck added. Tina immediately turned to him and followed his arm to the lone jersey on the bench. "You called me to get his jersey for him?" Tina asked, unbelieving they would actually do that.

"No, he just left it here." Sam said.

"What do you mean 'left it'?"Tina asked carefully, really starting to get lost and suspect at the same time.

"We told him he was forgetting it and then he just looked at it, shook his head and left. He didn't want it anymore." Coach Beiste had a great vantage point to see Tina's reaction to Sam's answer. She saw the realisation and sadness hit at the same time, Tina's shoulders fell and her eyes fill with sadness. Tina walked forward and carefully picked up the jersey as if it was a priceless piece of jewellery, folded it over her arm and asked: "Do you know where he went?"

"No."

"I'll find him." With that Tina left the locker room.
