[Hanna is enjoying her time in HQ. It isn't so bad if you consider it form all angles. They're given money, she isn't alone and as far as she's concerned her tormentor isn't here. She continues to get nightmares and worry about her mother but that's okay. She knows that there are people working to find their way home and while she has no idea how to help she will where she can.

It isn't in her nature to do nothing.

She's thinking of throwing a party, doing something fun since even more people have showed up and a few have vanished. Parties always help but that's only if she can get permission to get food and music playing in the rec room. She paces through the rec room looking at the area as if inspecting it. It would be an awesome party if she could get the support. She misses her friends, they'd have thought it was a great idea too though she can always ask Caleb to help.

Hanna reaches for her provided phone thinking to call Caleb when she receives a text. Her brow furrows as she reads the senders name: (unknown). Her fingers tremble slightly as she opens the text.]

Did you think you could escape so easily?

-A

[Hanna feels herself whispering the words while a cold chill moves through her. Another text comes and she quickly opens it.]

Find me or it's bye bye.

-A

[This text has two attachments and as Hanna opens it she sees Aira, Spencer and Emily tied and blindfolded in what looks like a dark room. The second attachment is a doll.]

I'm really starting to hate dolls.

[Hanna doesn't remember seeing the doll but she's going to tear this place apart looking for it. She begins to run around frantically, her eyes moving to quickly to notice those around her. She starts by making a mess in the rec room and will slowly make her way all around HQ if she has too.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Caleb has taken to hanging out either in the library or the rec room. Normally the rec room because it was usually where Hanna was, and he'd rather be with her than away from her. The place honestly wasn't as bad as it'd originally seemed, and the idea of being stuck there instead of home had been something to adjust to, but that couldn't happen.

He stepped inside, frowning at the sounds as his eyes from Hanna. He set down his backpack and walked over.]

Hanna, what's going on?

What?

[Her voice snaps, the tension in her shoulders obvious. Her head turns towards Caleb and she shakes her head as if pushing distracting things away from her thoughts.]

Oh, it's nothing.

[She moves a hand as if that might dismiss the topic. She doesn't like lying to him but she's scare and she doesn't want anyone else getting hurt.]

I just lost something. I'm fine, I'll find it.

[Caleb frowns at that, but comes over, reaching out to take her hand as she reaches for something else to move in her search.]

What are you looking for, Hanna? Maybe I can help you find it.

[Hanna tries not to snap at him but her words come out short and panicked.]

No, Caleb. I have to find this... doll thing. I have to do it alone and I can't tell you why so please don't ask me.

[Her tone switches to begging at the end, her gaze frantic.]

Aren't you a little old to play with dolls?

[Caleb didn't like where this was going.]

Hanna...did something happen?

[She turns to look at him, her eyes glaring.]

This isn't a game Caleb! If I don't find it-

[Hanna's voice cuts off and her palm covers her lips. She hears her phone buzz and she quickly fumbles for it. She turns the screen so Caleb can't read it and quickly reads what's written.]

Tick Tock

-A

If you don't find it, what?

[He puts his hands on her shoulders, just staring at her until she looks at him.]

What did A threaten you with?

[He figured now was as good a time as any to let Hanna know he knew about A.]

[When she looks back at him there is panic seething within her gaze. She's scared and frustrated and angry at all of this. She'd finally thought that she'd been safe here.

It takes Hanna a few minutes for her to realize that Caleb had just mentioned A.]

What?

[She shakes her head as if trying to connect pieces that didn't fit together.]

How do you know about-?
