Papyrus sighed, setting his phone down next to him. Undyne noticed he finished the call and turned towards him, her lips pressed into a thin line when she saw his expression.

"Again, huh?" Undyne asked softly.

"It's going nowhere," Papyrus said quietly, "There's no monster that's a clown like that. There no human who's like that, it's like the clown is a ghost or something."

"At least we managed to get Sans off of the list," Undyne said.

They both were sitting at a table in a coffee shop, full cups of untouched coffees in front of them on the table. The chatter around them from other people was quiet, practically nonexistent. For the past month, they had been working hard on trying to find Sans again, but not for the police.

The police weren't even after him, not anymore.

"I can't believe we had to lie to the authorities," Papyrus said, "Say that one of the other patients stormed in and poisoned Frisk, and that Sans ran because he was forced on those drugs."

"Can we even trust them?" Undyne asked him, "When we told them about the kids, they classified him as a pedofile too even though we told them he wasn't one."

She took a sip from her coffee, finding that it was cold, bleak. Just like their lives at this point. Ever since Sans had left from their lives entirely, everything just went downhill from there. They had all decided to finally do what would help Sans and lied to the people there, pinning the blame of Frisk being poisoned onto another person who had escaped from there. They then lied even further, telling the people that the Sally girl didn't exist, and that the room at his house was for Frisk. Papyrus had told the people there that they lied about everything but Sans's depression.

So now Sans wasn't wanted anymore, and he wasn't considered insane or a pedofile anymore, but he was still gone. Papyrus and the others were still trying to figure out who the heck his little friend was first before they took the next step of action, since they had to know if Sans was safe or not with him.

"He's off the wanted list now, so they did what they told us," Papyrus said softly again, "And they're too busy looking for the other people that got out."

"Do you think whatever Sans was with, it wasn't human or monster?" Undyne asked him, "He looked more of less of a human, but he didn't act human. A breed maybe?"

"I don't even know anymore," Papyrus said, "Whatever he was, he's with Sans and Sans could be in danger."

"Not to mention how now that thing is allowed to kill us," Undyne sighed, "Sans was protecting us that whole time, and now we're dead to him."

"This is all my fault," Papyrus said, "I... I made so many mistakes."

"We all did, it's not just your fault," Undyne said, "I can't believe we did nothing when Sans was dealing with all of this alone. I don't blame him for wanting us dead, to be honest."

Their conversation was ended abruptly when Papyrus's phone started to ring, the tall skeleton answering his phone.

"TORIEL?" Papyrus asked, his voice returning to its normal high pitch, "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING A SHIFT AT SCHOOL."

"Papyrus, I'm leaving early," Toriel said in a rush, "I just saw on the news app. Sans's house was just burned down."

Sorry for the short chapter, I just wanted a put out a little detail in what the others were doing. And I was busy yesterday, which is why I wasn't able to get this out! Sorry!
