Leo was too slow to react, and Mia and Jade, both unreliable, fled the scene as they each made their own escape in the event of a crisis. Only he, unfortunately, was left behind.

After Mia got out, she was only wearing a tank top. She had her hands on her waist; the running she had just done had left her almost out of breath.

"You legged it too, didn't ya?" A voice came from behind.

Mia nearly jumped out of her skin. She turned around to see Jade. It was their lack of loyalty that led to this awkward meeting at the door.

"Jade, you took a powder without so much as a peep. I was having a blast on stage, saw my husband leaving, and without a second thought, I jumped off the stage and bolted. It's a madhouse in there right now, no chance of leveling up to White Pass today." Jade was having a standoff with Mia at the entrance, "You've got some nerve! I just had a stare-down and a talk with your husband, and he grabbed me. If I don't run away, should I wait to die?"

"He's my husband, what are you afraid of? He's not going to eat you, is he?" Mia shot back.

Jade, "Damn it, that's exactly the problem. If he finds out that Leo and I are your partners in crime in this underground gambling ring, we'll all be in the soup. Let's find a place to change, then I'll go to my brother for protection." The two of them found a public restroom and started changing.

Jade said, "Mia, your hubby almost recognized me today. He called me Molly, but I didn't respond. When you get home, don't you dare spill the beans about us changing clothes. Otherwise, he'll know I was there too." Mia agreed.

After washing their faces at the sink and cleaning off the grime, Jade, in a tank top, flagged down a cab, "To the police station."

Chad was busy when a girl with a dirty face and in a tiny tank top showed up. He lifted her chin and looked at her beautiful face. "Jade, spill it. What have you been up to this time?" Chad said, fuming. Jade shrunk back, "I messed up."

Seeing her clothes, Chad took off his jacket for Jade to wear, then pushed her towards the mirror in the restroom. "Clean up your face, then spill the beans about where you've been."

Jade turned on the faucet, cupped water in her hands, and washed her face.
