*Nighttime.
Guards have been dispatched to roam the streets searching for Punk Riot. A Punk Riot member peeks from the corners of a wall watching the guards.
Punk Riot member: No good here either...
Another member: Yikes...these guys are everywhere....!
All of Punk Riot has grouped up, hiding behind an alley. One of the members is holding onto Hector who is still unconscious.
Punk Riot member: What the hell... Why are they serious about taking us out?
Random member: dammit... I still can't believe they got Jayce...
Another Random member: It's probably because they got Jayce that they're trying to wipe us out now...
Punk Riot member: What do we do now?
Feeling that the responsibility of leadership falls on him, Malone silently weighs his options.
A member suggests that they visit San, "What about San?! San could help us! I'm sure he'd help us out!"
Punk Riot member: That ain't sound so bad...
Punk Riot member: What 'ya say Malone?
Malone (nods): Let's go.
*Meanwhile at the mansion.
Sharon approaches both Tatsuo and Darren hanging about after returning from the bathroom.
Tatsuo: So how is she?
Sharon shakes her head – "She's still in the bathroom."
Tatsuo: Huh? Seriously? It's almost been 2 days!
Darren makes an offhand comment in his head: 'In a way, I'm kind of glad she taste tested the food before we all did....'
Darren: Hmmm... In that case, what should we do tomorrow?
Tatsuo: I'll be going back to old man San to see if he knows anything else about Veloren.
Sharon (confused): But he already told us what he knew of Veloren did he not?
Tatsuo: I don't know. Something about what he told us seemed suspicious. I feel like he's hiding something from us.
Sharon: ... Huh? Is he?
Darren interjects: Most likely.
Sharon: Huh?! You too... ?
Darren: Of course. He touted himself being this Veloren guy's fan, but in the end, he didn't really give us anything. Seems to me he's withholding information, or he doesn't know anything.
Sharon: .....
*At San's house.
The phone has been ringing for a while. San steps out of the shower, putting on a comfy bathrobe. He walks on over to pick up the phone.
San: Hello?
Heymlir: Hello San, it's me, Heymlir.
Heymlir: I see that you're finally back from your patrol.
San: Ah, yes... Sorry, I didn't find the thief.
Heymlir: That's alright, I've been meaning to update you. We have the thief in custody.
San: That's great!
Heymlir: Yes... And there's something else I need to talk to you about...
Blood ominously drips from Heymlir's glove, "It's about Punk Riot..."
