Quincy had gone off the grid.

When Everett tried calling her again, he was met with the immediate response of her phone being switched off.

Without wasting a moment, he drove straight to Quincy's lab, only to find it deserted. Her apartment showed no signs of her either.

Under normal circumstances, Everett wouldn't care less about Quincy's whereabouts once he got his hands on the antidote. But now, he couldn't afford to lose her.

He dialed Jeffrey Turner's number.

Jeffrey, upon hearing Everett's concern, didn't grasp the severity of the situation at first, scoffing, "Better off dead! Who cares if she's missing? Relax, man, she's tough as nails. She's done enough dirt to survive!"

It took a moment for the gravity of the situation to hit Jeffrey.

"Holy crap! No, this won't do! What about Dorothy if something happens to her?"

Everett couldn't help but be exasperated with his friend, always a beat behind.

"Get your contacts to look for her, we need to find her no matter what."

"Alright, alright, I'm on it!"

After hanging up, Everett took a moment to calm his nerves in the car before heading back to the Bay Residence.
