Jordan looked up when Jason stormed angrily out of the room. "Jason? What-"

Jason shoved Jordan out of the way. "Leave me alone." He ran out of the house and down the street.

Jordan stumbled backwards at the surprisingly strong shove and stared in surprise as he ran out of the house and turned to Tyler, confused.

Tyler shrugged. "I-I don't know... Should we go after him?"

Jordan hesitated. "I... I don't know, man. He was pretty upset... Let's wait for Stampy..."

Tyler sighed and sat down, fiddling with the strings on his hoodie.

Stampy soon emerged with the choker in his hands. He stopped when he saw the others.

"Is... is jason here?"

Tyler shook his head. "You just missed him..."

Stampy sighed. "He got really upset with Stella... now she won't turn on..."

Jordan frowned. "What about?"

Stampys ears laid down. "...withholding information about where we've been..."

"Can't blame him, the guy probably just wants answers. Tyler sighed. "I've heard him yelling from here. I've never heard him so angry."

Stampy looked down. "...I... I have...Just... Just once or twice though..."

Tyler stared at Stampy. "When you guys were gone huh?"

He nodded. "I... I remember a lot..." He admitted softly. "It... It was a literal nightmare..."

"I can imagine." Tyler muttered, knowing it'd be best to not push him any further.

"J-Jase... He doesn't... He doesn't remember almost anything from our time there... But... I told him that... That Stella is... Is from there and he just kind of... lost it..." Stampy explained, sounding a bit guilty.

"It's not your fault." Tyler reassured him. "He's just desperate for answers."

"I know but... he got so... so angry with her... I can't help but feel that's my fault..."

"It's not your fault..." Tyler repeated, walking up to him and placing a hand on his shoulder.

Stampy tensed a little but said nothing for a moment. "We... we need to go find him..."

Tyler nodded before heading over to the door.

Stampy and Jordan followed him.

Sqaishey hesitated. "I'm going to wait here if that's alright," she told them making Stampy look back at her.

He hesitated before nodding. "Okay, Sqaish..."

"You sure?" Tyler asked, opening the door.

Sqaishey hesitated again. "Yes... text me if you need me." She answered.

Jordan nodded. "Alright."

Stampy waved goodbye hesitantly before stepping outside.

"Jordan?"

"Yes?" He turned back to look at Sqaishey.

"Please keep an eye on him for me. Let me know if he acts up again."

"I will." He agreed before heading outside.

Tyler began to walk to the other side of town. Jason must've gone back home, he was sure of it.

Stampy followed after him, slipping Stella in his pocket with Jordan right behind them.

When they had reached Jason's house all the lights were off. Tyler knocked on the door, but there was no answer.
