*March 2026 - Columbia, SC*

Two weeks later, Jamie and the gang return to Columbia. When they get started in the same ways to try to get their same page together without Billy's situation, they've stayed out of town for weeks. Jamie notices the professor sending the mail he will be out and still get his assignment done. Everybody parked together in any of these spots around the nearby building; they got out of the car.

Clayton: Listen, people. I know this is getting a little worried. Jamie? Mona? You know what to do.

Mona: We both got it all along; if somebody or Billy, Jacky, Roxanne, or the others stepped up to us, it's on.

Clayton: *hearing*

Jamie: Besides, we're alright while we are stuck at this school.

Clayton: You worked on the real thing; that goes for all of you.

Irwin: Clayton, let us know if you have a bigger problem or emergency call.

Clayton: I got you. 

Irwin: Meet you boys in Lizard's tomorrow afternoon.

Everybody went back to the car, splitting up to go to their free time until the next day, except for Clayton, who was still in the parking with Suzanne; he set up the car slowly and drove away this time.

Somewhere in South Carolina, Rachael and Greg are still stuck in the warehouse with Clara, Roxanne, Billy, Jacky, and Ana; they can't find Jamie and everybody while planning more ideas to take over the city.

Rachael: Listen. I need everyone to be crystal clear about this. My Jamie problem gets solved today. He knows too much about me. Clara, Jacky, you should know a weak point to exploit. If not, find one. Billy...

Billy: Listen, lady, I don't need a fuckin' pep talk, okay?

Rachael: Agreed. You need a fucking help.

Billy: You do not have to tell me what to do. That's her problem. *points to Roxanne*

Roxanne: Billy, I'm trying to keep you chill except for Jamie.

Rachael: I need the casualties on their end, not mine.

Greg: I'll drive him.

Rachael: Do that. Handle the business, boys.

Greg and Billy: *leaving*

Roxanne: You should know better. *looks at Rachael and walks past her*

Rachael: *shoots her head* Don't fucking tell me what to do. *quietly*

All: *reacting*

Rachael: Did all of you have a problem with that? You can't take her back because this is business; she should've kept her fucking mouth shut. *putting her gun away while walking away*

At the university, Jamie and Mona are already checking anybody else's room while they've disappeared; as soon as they continue to walk out of the campus and chill outside on the bench.

Mona: What now?

Jamie: I guess we had to stay focused and not worry about anyone else; we were getting grades down, and then, we're out of here.

Mona: I felt Billy betrayed me. So much. He wouldn't be stuck up to me again, but that's fine. I can take care of my way. You, as well as Clara, betrayed.

Jamie: *hearing*

Mona: I don't have any plans for the moment. I'll go back to the room to listen to the music. *stands up*

Jamie: Good luck with that.

Mona: *walks back inside*

Irwin and Elena stopped by the market to grab a few things. Since they were not staying around much, they hurried and paid for the rest of their stuff.

Irwin: *looking at her with sour cream chips* You getting the same one again?

Elena: I loved it, let me have this.

Irwin: I know you've been trying to taste the sour cream.

Elena: Because I loved it, Irwin!

Irwin: Ok, don't get too cocky when you speak to me like a naughty cause if you do.

Elena: *looking at him seriously*

Irwin: Come on, we're gonna pay for everything.

The next day, three boys spend time in Rhythm & Sweet at the booth together right next to the window, drinking their milkshakes; they are still talking about Greg and Rachel's situation, including Greg's son, Garfield. His son is still on campus, while Jamie keeps an eye on him to ensure he doesn't get involved by his father or the others. Whether Jamie heard Greg about it or not, he would take his son away from him.

Meanwhile, Garfield comes out of the campus right after the classes. He's on the way back to the dorm while two spy guys are in the car, staying in control to keep an eye on him. One of the spying sees Jamie return to the campus, walking around until he takes the camera out to take three pictures of him.

Jamie: *tries to walk back inside until he sees Angel, Salim, and Memphis*

Boys: *walks over to them*

Angel: What the hell have you been?

Jamie: I was out.

Angel: Where's Clara?

Jamie: Listen, I've searched for her, and we disappeared.

Salim: Really? Some dude came into us telling us that you and Clara are having strange going on; some of their ideas were that you murdered someone else or even Clara.

Jamie: Don't ever listen to Greg. Did you talk to Garfield?

Memphis: Don't worry about him. Telling the truth that's all we ask.

Jamie: I didn't murder anyone. He's a liar; who would've believed him?

Memphis: Nobody.

Jamie: He wants me to get the hell out of the dodge for good.

Salim: I don't believe you with your truth, you are such a fool of shit.

Jamie: Is that right? I gave y'all everything when I had your back since day one. You were always coming here acting so stupid when you were not good enough against everyone else in this school.

Salim: Just me?? You fucking worthless piece of shit!

Jamie: Man, fuck you! *pushed him*

Salim: Fuck you! *doing the same*

Jamie: Hit me! Come on!

Salim: NO!

Jamie: HIT ME! HIT ME!

Angel: Both of you chill out!

Salim: I was very good enough to you, I was afraid!

Jamie: *hearing*

Salim: *walks away*

Jamie: Everybody is missing. They betrayed me, alright? They've been working with him.

Angel: How is that?

Jamie: Too much explained with that shit. It's getting too much impressive with them.

Angel: They don't get paid on their own.

Jamie: Maybe.

Garfield: *coming outside*

Jamie: *sees him*

Garfield: Jamie, you wanna go to the lake?

Jamie: Yeah. *nods softly*

Later, Jamie and Garfield hang out in the lake; they sit right in front of the river while confronting Greg and the other.

Garfield: I've been hearing many things about my dad; I shouldn't told everybody I was in my father's crisis for ruining the reputation.

Jamie: I wonder if I can deal with your father to make us leave alone; he had kept on actions.

Garfield: You would never believe him at all. To make anything of the scene.

Jamie: *hearing*

Garfield: My mom died a few years after they got divorced; she wouldn't see me after she left. I heard what happened to her when my father told me to go out there to reunite with my mom on the same day before that.

Jamie: Damn. Sorry, dude.

Garfield: It's alright. I can see her buried when anyone can set the grave right next to me except him.

Jamie: That's cold.

Garfield: I need to be impatient with myself without any cruelty; I know my father's team will stand beside me when it's around.

Jamie: I've gotten pay attention as soon as I can get off my feet in the same thing. I couldn't see them lately.

Garfield: *hearing*

Later that night, at Dacre's house, he puts the clothes inside the basket. When they're finished in the laundry room, he takes them to his room and hears the door open. Rachael opens it with a bobby pin, while Dacre doesn't expect to see surprise guests and doesn't know them well.

Rachael: I can smell nice and clean when you dry your clothes.

Dacre: Who the hell are you, lady? Why with the boys with you?

Rachael: They've been working with me.

Greg: Anyway, enough talking to her. Do you know what I mean? We were looking for a nerdy boy.

Dacre: Who's a nerdy boy?

Billy: Jamie Zealand, who goes to my college with me together.

Dacre: I don't know anything about the boy.

Billy: All I want you to do is find him for the next seven days.

Rachael: We will track you down if you don't find him. It works for us.

Dacre: Listen, lady; if you learned how to nice pep talk, I'm interested in finding him.

Rachael: Thank you.

Dacre: All of you get the fuck out, or I'll pull the trigger right here.

Greg: You're not so tough. You are going to be my sight. *leaving with them*

Dacre: *looking in the mirror to think about himself*
