Two Days Later...

Jeremy is doing push ups. Logan and Peter were watching him this time. Elena comes downstairs with a plate of food. She sees Jeremy

Elena: looks like someone's doing better?

He stops when he smells the food and stands up

Jeremy: Alot better. My wounds are fully healed. Well, not all

Elena: Not all?

Jeremy: The bite is still there. Not as bad as it looks but her scent is still there so I'll keep it covered for now

He goes up to the cell door as she slides the plate in. He takes it from her

Jeremy: Thank you

Elena: No problem

She starts to walk away

Jeremy: It's time

She stops and looks at him. Logan and Peter look at him as well

Logan: It's time?

Jeremy looks at him

Jeremy: It's time

Peter: Time to catch us a mutt

Jeremy: Yes... right after I'm done eating

Elena rolls her eyes

Peter: Ah come on man

Logan: Really?

Elena: Call us when you're ready

She walks back upstairs

Jeremy: I'm not going on an empty stomach. Need my energy as well as my strength

He starts eating fast as everyone patiently waits for him to finish. Minutes later when he finishes, he takes a shower and puts his clothes on. Afterwards, he heads downstairs where everyone is standing by the door watching him

Jeremy: Sorry didn't mean to take that long. Trying to prepare myself. We don't know what's going to happen or what we're dealing with so everyone needs to stay alerted at all times and stick together

They all nod in agreement.  He goes up to them

Jeremy: Alright let's find this mutt

He looks at his arm and slowly takes off the bandage but not all the way.  Your scent fills his nose as he looks away.  He shakes the feeling off then gets ready to lick it

Elena: Wait

Everyone including Jeremy looks at her

Elena: You're not going to run out on us are you?

Jeremy: I can control myself if I'm focused; remember?

Elena: Right. Gotcha. Sorry

Jeremy: Don't be sorry

He looks back at his arm and starts licking it. His eyes get wide as he starts tracking you. Your trail leaving the woods and going into the town where it ends at a diner. Jeremy pulls away from his arm while putting the bandage back on and breathing heavily

Jeremy: She's in town. At a diner. There's a front and back exit. We can surround her so we're gonna have to split in groups. Clay and Elena will come with me to find her. I need two of you in the back and two of you in the corner

They all nod. He opens the door as they all head outside

Peter: That was so fucking awesome

Logan: Tell me about it

Jeremy, Elena, and Clay go in one car as the others all go in another and take off. They follow Jeremy's car. Clay was driving while Jeremy gave him directions on the passenger side while Elena sat in the back

Clay: Hopefully she's still there by the time we get there

Jeremy: Her trail was fresh

Elena: Guess someone's getting breakfast?

Jeremy: Yes so she's going to be there for awhile

Clay: So what's the plan when we get there?

He looks at him. Jeremy just stares at the road

Jeremy: I... don't know.  I haven't thought of it. Didn't think we'd capture her at a diner. I thought it would be in the woods and I thought of a plan for that but... yeah

He let's out a nervous laugh

Elena: So; we're just going to go in and think of something?

Jeremy: No I'll think of something. Just give me a minute

Clay looks at Elena from the rear view mirror. She gives him a nervous look.  As they're driving, Jeremy was thinking of a plan while telling Clay where to go. They reach the town

Jeremy: Not that many people out here today.  That's good

Elena: A lot of walls to trap her in to in case she escapes

Jeremy: Clay stop the car!

He quickly does. The car the rest of the pack were in press their brakes as well,  almost hitting Jeremy's car. They honk at them

Clay: Jesus Jeremy!

Jeremy: Sorry. Very eager to catch her

He points at the diner

Jeremy: There it is

Jeremy takes his phone out and calls Antonio

Jeremy: This is how far as we go. The diner is up ahead. Park the car and split into the two groups

Antonio: Alright. See you on the other side

Jeremy: You to. Also sorry about what happened just now

Antonio: It's okay just warn us next time

Jeremy: Will do

They hang up

Jeremy: Drive pass the diner then park

Clay nods as he drives pass the diner, they all look at it but can't see inside because the windows were covered

Clay: Of course

He parks in the corner, close to the entrance

Elena: So; how do we do this?

Jeremy: We go in quietly and blend in. I'll look out for her. You two will guard the front on my signal. Then I'll make my way over and try to talk to her. Try to get her to come peacefully

Clay: What if she doesn't?

Jeremy: Then we wait it out. There's too many people in there for me to force her out, it'll cause a scene

Elena: And not one we want

They see the others go into the back of the diner

Jeremy: Alright let's go

They nod as they get out of the car and walk over to the entrance. Jeremy takes a deep breath

Jeremy: Ready?

Clay: Yes

Elena: Yeah

Jeremy: Let's do this
