Tabby was checking out the contents of one of the cupboards, absentmindedly looking for first aid supplies when she heard the window in the bathroom open. Jake had gone in there a few minutes ago. Had the police found them? Tabby's heart stopped. Did that mean Thane was dead? She thought she was going to puke.
"Jake? Jake!" She called out and ran to the door. She jiggled the handle. Locked. "Jake! Are you alright?" There was no answer. "GREAT!" Tabby started kicking at the door, but no progress was being made. She instead put her shoulder into it. Once, twice...the third time, she succeeded in opening the door, but not without a little sacrifice. That sacrifice being the well-being of her shoulder.
"AHHH! F---!" Tabby yelling, her shoulder pulsating with pain. "That's it, I am SO staying at the Bureau from now on!" She now beheld the bathroom: empty. The window was open, so she skipped over to it and stuck her head out just in time to see Jake fly from the fire escape that was outside the window. "That...! He just left me here? Awesome!" Tabby pulled her head back in and closed the window just as her cell rang. The name that flashed on the screen was Thane's.
Relief flooding through her, Tabby the phone open. "Thank God you're ok, dude." She listened to what he had to say and looked out the window at the nearest street sign. "Um, on Apple Avenue. I think it's south from where we were, almost directly south. The two streets running parallel are 123rd and Mackay Lane. My hat is posted outside the door. And Jake's left."
