At 10am this morning, on the dot, texts start going out.
- (Melinda-->Micah) Oh god. Micah. Jim is... gone.
- (Melinda-->Micah) his PI friend showed up at my apartment after midnight, questioning me about his disappearance.
- (Melinda-->Shelby) You're okay, right? People keep disappearing and I want to make sure you're okay.
- (Melinda-->Hive) Murphy Law showed up at my apartment last night, asking about Jim's disappearance. Do you have any vestige of connection to him anymore? Do you know where he is?
- (Micah-->Melinda) Gone gone? Like, everybody else is gone?
- (Melinda-->Micah) that's the only assumption we can make. he was investigating some kid's disappearance and then went missing himself.
- (Micah-->Melinda) This is so far beyond out of hand... Did he at least maybe keep PI notes somewhere to say where he went? It could be a good lead. Maybe.
- (Melinda-->Micah) Murphy said he tracked him to his last location, and then there was nothing.
- (Micah-->Melinda) We really need that psychic detective. :(
- (Micah-->Melinda) Does Murphy have any other ideas?
- (Melinda-->Micah) No. He's going to talk to Jax about the twins, see if he can pull any leads off that. Jim trusts him, Micah. Tell Jax that if he's uncomfortable.
- (Melinda-->Micah) because Murphy makes people uncomfortable.
- (Micah-->Melinda) I'll let him know, but... Jax can get kinda cagey anyhow? Especially about the kids.
- (Melinda-->Micah) I understand completely. Murphy's own fault if he can't get info.
- (Micah-->Melinda) This is incredibly frustrating... Is there anything I can do to help?
- (Melinda-->Micah) No. ...there's just nothing. Just have to get through this day. Finally sleep. Get through the next.
- (Shelby --> Melinda) if ok is bein stuk in stupd bio class ten yeah im cool
- (Melinda-->Shelby) Okay. good. stay safe.
- (Micah-->Melinda) :( I am giving you so many brainhugs right now, just so you know.
- (Melinda-->Micah) Thanks.
- (Shelby-->Melinda) dont wury im liek ttly safst chik in NY
- (Melinda-->Shelby) I worry... but I do believe you.
TEXT from Hive, afternoontime:
- (Hive-->Melinda) I haven't seen Jim. I keep going over to feed our goldfish. He's not been around.
- (Melinda-->Hive) You guys have a goldfish. Okay. well. If you see him, let me know, but don't tell him I was worried/looking.
- (Hive-->Melinda) Yeah. He's orange. I think he's missing. Like missing-missing.
- (Hive-->Melinda) Um, Jim. Not the goldfish.
- (Hive-->Melinda) I mean the goldfish is orange and Jim is missing.
- (Melinda-->Hive) yeah. I think he's missing too. hope the goldfish is okay.
- (Melinda-->Hive) You don't... maybe, still have a telepathic link? I know it probably doesn't work that way, but I feel compelled to ask.
- (Hive-->Melinda) No. I wish I did. Though I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to hive the whole fucking city until we find them all.
- (Melinda-->Hive) If it didn't fuck you over, I'd say go for it.
- (Hive-->Melinda) They're snatching kids right the fuck off the street. The twins vanished in the middle of the day.
- (Melinda-->Hive) how the fuck is this happening? this is insane.
