Sophie spun around to see Colby striding in from the Burke Estate, covered in dust and looking pretty rough. She rushed over, anxiety written all over her face, "What happened?" "It's nothing," Colby brushed off, shaking his head.

Adler, not buying it, chimed in, "You look like you've been through a war zone, and you've been MIA all night. Where the heck were you?"
