==Stanford, California, United States==
The next day was quite rough for the Rangers. While they had all eight members in one place, it still didn't stop whoever they were fighting off. Their best bet was that they would come for Ryleigh next. In order to prevent that, the Rangers had to watch Ryleigh at all times.
After each Ranger had their cycle with watching her throughout the day, they decided to go get some dinner at a nearby Mexican restaurant. As they sat around the table together, they noticed Ryleigh didn't look very stressed at all.
"Why aren't you panicking like you usually do?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah, you look like you're taking this completely fine." Shane agreed.
"I kinda feel like a little kid with a babysitter again." Ryleigh chuckled. "And I have all of you watching my back. What do I have be afraid of?"
"It just makes me feel a bit nervous watching you like this." Johnny shrugged. "The boyfriend in me wants to see you worried."
"So you can comfort me or something?" Ryleigh asked and looked up to her boyfriend with confused eyes.
"Well, yeah..."
"Fine." Ryleigh smiled and leaned into Johnny.
"Um...PDA, much?" Tyler commented.
Johnny and Ryleigh both looked at Tyler and laughed. They didn't know how much longer they had together, so they decided it would be best to spend every minute together.
Dinner went great with absolutely nothing wrong to interrupt it. The eight Rangers walked over to the hotel that the others rented to hang out for the rest of the night. It seemed as if nothing could go wrong.
"You know, I anticipated this night ending much more horribly than it actually did." Mike admitted.
"Yeah, everything went well." Shane agreed.
"Things could have been worse, but I'm glad they weren't." Johnny said and wrapped his arm around his girlfriend. "I'm glad you're okay."
"I'm glad I'm okay, too. I'm glad I have you guys to back me up." Ryleigh said.
"Let's just celebrate a night well spent!" Mike exclaimed and pulled out a handle of vodka and some Coca Cola. The action drew cheers from the entire team.
"Oh man, I think we all need a drink." Tyler stated.
"Yeah, what a great way to blow off some steam!" Sydney agreed. "Pour us the shots!"
"Is...is that?" Raylan asked and pointed to the handle. "Um..."
"Relax, we don't have to drink." Emma leaned into her boyfriend.
"Yeah, I don't think I trust that stuff after last night." Raylan gulped.
"I'm with you on that one." Emma chuckled.
Mike handed everyone apart from Raylan and Emma red solo cups to where they each poured themselves the mixture of vodka and Coke. They held their glasses in the air and waited for someone to send it off.
"To Ryleigh and a unified night!" Johnny exclaimed and held his cup in the air
"Cheers!" they all shouted and started to drink.
By the end of the night, everyone had passed out in the hotel room. Since Raylan and Emma were the only ones who had stayed sober, they were the ones to get up first. While they didn't have anything to drink, they still had a hard time not getting crazy with their friends. When they woke up, they found the room in a mess.
"We're going to have to clean this up if we don't want to pay damages." Raylan groaned and tried to fully open his eyes.
"It was worth it, though." Emma sighed.
"Wait a minute..." Raylan mumbled and counted the people in the room. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...we only have seven people!"
"What are you talking about?" Emma asked and looked around. "Whoa...where's Ryleigh!?"
"We fucking lost Ryleigh!" Raylan shouted. "Are you kidding me?"
"We had one job!"
"Us and alcohol do not mix." Raylan groaned. "EVERYONE, WAKE UP!" he roared.
Everyone groaned and tried to sit up wherever they passed out. It took them a while to open their eyes, but when they did, they could tell that Raylan and Emma were fuming.
"What gives?" Mike asked when he was finally awake. "Man, I have such a hangover..."
"We're missing Ryleigh!" Emma exclaimed.
"What are you talking about? She's right here." Johnny groaned and showed them what he was cuddling. "Wait a minute...this is a pillow."
"That's definitely not Ryleigh." Emma crossed her arms.
"Hey, where's Ryleigh?" Johnny asked.
"That's what we've been trying to tell you!" Emma facepalmed. "We lost her!"
"Damn it!" Johnny shouted and punched the wall as hard as he could. "Fuck everything!"
"Listen, it's not too late." Raylan told him. "We can still go through our normal procedure and try to find her."
"Raylan, we're all hungover!" Johnny replied. "I don't even think our feral instincts can keep us up!"
"It's not like we have much of a choice."
"Everyone get up, we're going on a search mission!" Johnny yelled at everyone else. "I can't believe I let this happen."
"Johnny, it's not your fault." Raylan sat next to the Green Ranger. "It's all of our faults."
"She was more of my responsibility than anyone else's." Johnny covered his face with his hands.
"No, she was equally everyone's responsibility." Raylan put his arm around him. "We're going to find her no matter what it takes."
"I can do this." Johnny nodded. "I want to be the one to save her. She's my girlfriend."
"If that's what makes you happy." Raylan said. "We'll stray behind in case something bad happens, but we'll be there with you."
"We'll make sure whoever took her pays...hard." Emma said and sat on Johnny's other side. "Ryleigh means as much to us as she means to you and we're going to get her back."
"Then let's go and get her back!" Johnny instructed his teammates when he saw that they were all fully awake.
"It's morphin' time!"
