It's been five hours since George was last seen and Harry along with Angel are checking if anyone has seen him around the gala area. While Harry is talking to someone across the street, Angel goes inside a dinner and shows George picture to a waitress.
"Is there any case you have seen him?"
"Oh my God. Yes, he was with that handsome blonde guy."
"Handsome blonde guy?", Angel quickly asks before Harry comes back.
"Yeah, they fought, I think at least...Then they went to the hospital, it was obvious."
"Did that blonde guy hurt my friend?"
"No sweetie, your friend hurt that blonde guy in that alley."
Angel smiles at the waitress and she turns to leave, when Harry joins her. He says that nobody saw George around and Angel can't find a way to talk about the blonde guy. Then Harry looks at the television and seems shocked. Angel is curious on what he saw and turns to the TV too.
"Known model, Crystal Powers, found murdered at her apartment."
They look each other and they are shocked. Angel grabs Harry and they head outside.
"Do you think that George's disappearance and Crystal's murder are connected?"
"What do you mean?"
"He hasn't been seen since the gala and then this happened."
"If I were you, j would have more faith into my boyfriend Harry. Now excuse me, I don't have time to make assumptions, I have to go find my best friend."
Harry realizes what he is saying and apologizes, then they leave together to the next area.
