Summary
Cold air nips at Robin’s fingertips as she stands at the front of the growing crowd, composed mostly of friends and family, a handful of helpful strangers lingering on the fringes. She rubs her palms together and tries to listen to what the cops are telling all of them, but it just sounds like a buzz the moment it hits her ears. Most things are these days, with her every waking moment enveloped by the fact that her best friend is missing, has been missing for a couple days now. Laying awake at night, she finds herself wishing she’d realized it sooner, that maybe they’d have more leads if she had, that almost everything wouldn’t have been washed away by the relentless fall of rain since Steve’s disappearance. It’s almost like the universe is mocking her for failing.

Summary
Robin’s finger presses down on the power button as hard as it can, but the phone does nothing beyond reflect her image back to her with a black screen. “Are you fucking kidding me?” she gripes. “So much for water resistance…”
And really, it is her fault for dropping it in the puddle in the first place, but it’s the last thing she needs right now. Pocketing the phone with a frustrated growl, Robin looks around, trying in vain to find something, anything, that she recognizes. But all of the buildings look rundown, abandoned, foreign.
She’s officially lost.
She’s lost and it’s all Steve’s fault.

Summary
Standing at the top of the basement steps by herself, Robin is aware it’s her last chance to escape, to turn back and try something else if she can make it back to town alive. She doesn’t take it, instead choosing to descend the steps. They creak as she goes, barely illuminated by a bare bulb at the bottom. By the time she reaches the bottom, her whole body is shaking.
Then she sees him and a sob rips itself free from her throat before Robin even gets a chance to think about stopping it. Her poor balance threatens to topple her onto the concrete floor as she all but throws herself across the space, barreling into Steve at full speed. “Steve!”
