Barracks

Inside the Barracks, Teams RWBY, JNPR, GRMA, CFDT, OBSA, and JAAR were all sitting on some beds. They were all listening to Jacob, Robert, and Nora about what had happened in Afghanistan.

"So Liberty is the new Fall Maiden, huh?" Mercury asked.

"At least this makes things a lot more easier for us," Jessie said.

"It doesn't explain why Jacob looks depressed," Ruby said.

"Liberty being the Fall Maiden has nothing to do with Jacob," Nora said.

"So why the hell is Jacob looking like a mess here?" Jacket asked.

A short pause had passed as Nora and Robert looked uncomfortable. Robert finally gained some courage to speak.

"Jacob had killed a child soldier back in Afghanistan," he said.

Everyone in the room widened their eyes and turned their heads at Jacob as he looked down in guilt.

"He also attacked one of the girls from Team NDGO and broke her nose after she foolishly said that it was the kid's choice to be in the Taliban, despite that not being true at all," Nora added.

Everyone looked at Jacob in silence and widened eyes upon learning what he did

"Son of a bitch," Jacket muttered.

"You can say that again," Ricky said.

"In all honesty, if somebody says that to my face, I'd break their nose too," Yang said.

"I'd take Nora's advice and break their legs," Kendra said.

Jacob stood up from the bed he was sitting on.

"I'm gonna head home," he said.

Jacob walks out of the room as everyone looks on with worry and concern. Everyone was silent for a minute, not sure to say or think. Britney soon broke the silence and spoke.

"I'm gonna go follow him. He may need someone right now," she said.

Britney gets up from the bed she was sitting on and leaves the room to follow Jacob as everyone watches her leave.

Prescott Residence

Later just outside the Prescott household, Britney walks up to the front door of the house, having followed Jacob back. She approached the door and rang the doorbell. A moment later, the door opens, revealing Leon to have opened it.

"Hello Britney," Leon said.

"Hey, Mr. Presscott. I saw Jacob come inside just a minute ago. Can I see him?" Britney asked.

"Jacob is here? We didn't even hear him enter inside," Leon replied.

"Can I see him?" Britney asked. "Something had happened to him and he might need me."

"Of course," Leon answered as he stepped to the side.

Britney steps inside and walks into the living room to see Rachel and Judy watching Peppa Pig with Ashley. The two women turned their heads to see Britney as Leon followed behind her.

"Leon, who is this girl?" Rachel asked.

"Rachel, that's Jacob's girlfriend I was telling you about. Britney Connor," Judy answered.

"Oh?" Rachel gets up from the sofa and walks up to Britney. "It's nice to meet you, Britney."

"It's nice to meet you too, Mrs. Gordon," Britney said as she shook Rachel's hand.
