/The group sat in the furniture section of the store. They then went wide eyed, when they saw Dylan, walking towards them. Dylan stopped a short distance away from the group/

"Hey guys" said Dylan

/Anne got up, and walked to Dylan/

"Are you okay?" asked Anne

"I'm fine" said Dylan

/Dylan sighed, and looked at the group/

"I... uh... I cleared out the garage" said Dylan

/The group went wide eyed, and had shocked looks/

"How many were in there?" asked Ulrich

"I don't know... Maybe a dozen...? Two dozen...?" guessed Dylan

/The group went slack jawed/

"Remind me to never piss you off" said Christopher, bluntly

/Dylan chuckled, softly/

"Yeah... will do" said Dylan

/Dylan looked at Chase, Aelita, and Anne/

"Guys? Can you follow me? I have something that we need to talk about" said Dylan

"What is it?" asked Chase

"Something that we need to talk about" said Dylan

/Aelita, Chase, and Anne all shrugged, and then nodded/

"Lead the way" said Anne

/Dylan smiled. He then started walking with Aelita, Chase, and Anne towards the garage/

==10 Minutes Later==

/The group walked into the garage. Aelita, Chase, and Anne all sat at a table, as Dylan brought the phone to them. He put it at the middle of the table, and sighed/

"Someone called me... On this phone" said Dylan

/Aelita, Chase, and Anne all rose an eyebrow/

"What...?" asked Chase/Aelita/Anne, bluntly

"Two people called me. A man, and a girl. They said that they lived somewhere safe" said Dylan

/Chase picked up the phone, and brought it up to his ear. He sighed/

"Dylan, I don't even hear a dial-tone" said Chase

/Dylan shrugged/

"I know how it sounds... But I swear that I heard someone call me" said Dylan

/Anne got out of her seat, and walked to Dylan. She put a hand on his shoulder, causing him to raise an eyebrow/

"Dylan... I know that it's hard losing Rebecca. But no one's calling... All of the phone lines are out, and-" said Anne

"Anne, I swear to god, that someone called me" said Dylan

/Dylan sighed/

"I want to be alone, now" said Dylan

/The group nodded/

"Alright... take all the time that you need" said Aelita

/Dylan watched, as Chase and Aelita walked out of the garage. He noticed that Anne, was still staying where she was/

"Anne...?" asked Dylan

/Anne then put her arms around Dylan, and engulfed him in a hug. He went wide eyed, and slightly blushed, as Anne closed her eye, and smiled/

"I'll see you when you get back, okay?" asked Anne

"Y... Yeah..." said Dylan

/Anne broke the hug, gave a smile to Dylan, and then walked out of the garage. Dylan sighed, and looked at the phone/

==With Chelsea==

/Chelsea smiled, as she sat with Christopher. Chris was lying on his back, with his head on her lap. She was running her hand through Chris's hair, causing them both to smile/

"How're you feeling?" asked Chelsea

"I've gotten a headache... But you, running your hand on my head, feels really nice" said Christopher

/Chelsea chuckled/

"Is that a terrible attempt to flirt with me?" asked Chelsea

"I don't know... is it working?" asked Christopher

/Chelsea grinned, seductively/

"Why don't you find out?" asked Chelsea, seductively

"Yeah... now I know you're flirting with me" said Christopher

/Chelsea giggled, as Christopher pulled her in for a kiss. Eventually, they broke it, to see Odd, smirking at them/

"Uh... can I help you?" asked Chelsea

"No" said Odd

/Christopher sighed, with annoyance/

"How about you go and bother someone else?" asked Christopher

/Odd smirked/

==With Chase==

/Chase, Jennifer, Jeremie, and Aelita all were sitting on the roof. Aelita sighed/

"I miss Rebecca" said Aelita

"Yeah... and Amy" said Jennifer

"And Alexandr..." said Jeremie

/Chase nodded/

"I miss my parents... I don't even know if they're alive..." said Chase

"I miss my parents, too... They went on vacation to Hawaii, before this all happened..." said Jeremie

/Aelita grabbed Jeremie's hand, and locked it. Jeremie looked at her/

"I'm sure that they're all fine" said Aelita

/Jeremie nodded, and smiled at Aelita/

"Hawaii..." said Jeremie

"Yeah... it's probably as safe as Nebraska" said Chase

/The group chuckled, softly/

==With Dylan==

/Dylan continued sitting next to the phone. Suddenly, he heard it ring again. He picked it up on the first ring/

"Hello?" asked Dylan

"Are you ready to talk about your wife?" asked a British woman

/Dylan nodded/

"If that's what it takes" said Dylan

"How did you lose her, Dylan? How did you lose your wife?"

/Dylan sighed/

"She was checking out a garage, and she got bit. Then we had to..."

/Dylan suddenly went wide eyed/

"How do you know my name?"

"Dylan... you don't need to worry. I'm in a safe place. Me, Amy, Alexandr... Everyone"

/Dylan had a shocked, and extremely saddened look, as he recognized the voice/

"R- Rebecca...?"

/Dylan then started sobbing uncontrollably, as he gripped the phone tightly in his hand/

"I... I- I loved you! I- I'm sorry I couldn't save you..."

"It's okay, Dylan. There's nothing to be sorry about. I can never be angry at you..."

/Dylan continued sobbing/

"I love you, Dylan... More than you can possibly realize. But I don't want you to be lonely, and miserable... I want you to move on... Please just do that for me"

/Dylan nodded/

"A... Alright... But I'll never stop loving you. Never."

"I know... I feel the same way... And Anne's waiting for you."

/Dylan smiled, softly/

"I love you so much..."

/Dylan cleared his throat/

"Goodbye Rebecca... I'll do what you asked. I love you"

"Goodbye Dylan... I love you, too."

/Dylan was sobbing, softly, as he put the phone back on the receiver.../
