Tim looked around the empty hotel room in a frantic panic. He couldn't find Phoebe anywhere, he was hoping that this was just some joke or some wedding anxiety. But, it wasn't. She was nowhere to be found. Emptiness filled the room, with a feeling of darkness and mystery.

Tim runs out of the room and finds Nolan outside of Angela's room. Nolan meets his anxious eyes and realizes something is wrong "Hey, have you seen Phoebe? She's not in the room. I found this" he says gesturing to the red ribbon bracelet. The bracelet that she never took off. Nolan shakes his head no as he becomes anxious "No, Angela's missing too. She's not in her room, and I can't find Jackson". He runs a stressed hand through his hair.

His eyes widen in realization as his heart begins to race with anxiety. He takes out his phone and dials Greys "We have a problem".

Tim's eyes flash back to the reality in front of him. He is standing alongside the warehouse entrance gate. His LAPD vest is strapped, with tactile equipment on, as he waits from the code word from Sergeant Grey. He picks up his radio and looks over at Nolan, Harper and Lucy as they nod, ready to head inside. "Breach team in position" he says through the radio.

Sergeant Grey stands off site with drone footage the radio held up to his mouth as he remembers the last horrifying last few hours. His mind flashes back to everyone being back in his office still dressed in their wedding attire.

Tim undo's his tie as he looks at the monitor in front of him. Harper looks at them "Malos Dorados just hit the prison transport. They freed La Fiera." She says with a stressed tone. Tim who was visibly stressed looks at them "She must've taken them" he says. Lucy grabs the remote to the monitor "We got surveillance video of Lopez, Phoebe and Jackson being taken. It's being uploaded now." She says before pressing play.

They watch in horror as Lopez is handled first with tape covering her mouth, and her hands and ankles bounded together. She is being hustled into a van by two men dressed in black with face coverings. Moments after Phoebe is shown with the same restrictions as she watches Jackson being manhandled towards an open trunk. Phoebe watches in horror her eyes welling up in tears as she tries to fight one of the men holding her. But, he was to strong for her as he grips her arms tightly. Tim looks away not able to see his girlfriend look so frightened. It caused him sadness mixed with anger.

Jackson looks at her with a reassuring nod in that moment accepting his fate. He beings to memorize everything that his 'three amigos' did together. From bar hopping, to baby shopping. He gives her a small smile as the assailant shoots him in the back instantly killing him. Phoebe to let out a blood curling scream in horror. Everyone watches in horror watching as the assailant shoves Phoebe into the van, and stuffs Jackson into the trunk.
