[For Druitt, Auggie, Annie] Jan 14: there's gonna be a reckoning, there's gonna be a chase

[girlsolo]

The Big Cheese tells her to get lost. Not in so many words. Oh, he'll help look for Joan. Get people out looking for her, but it's only been a day, Miss Freelander. She's probably just lost on the island somewhere. People go missing all the time, Miss Freelander. There's just not enough evidence, Miss Freelander.

So Druitt's got scratches on his arm, Joan's handkerchief and earring in his pocket. She's missing. He's a known serial killer with a taste for blondes but that's not enough to keep him locked up and interrogate him. Fuck.

Kate stalks out of the IPD Office after Druitt. She knows she should let this go and go look for Joan. Find Declan and Buffy and other-Kate and some of the other girls, Steve, and get Nikola to keep an eye on Druitt. That's what she should do. But Kate Freelander's still never met a bad idea she didn't like.

And when she sees Druitt strolling the hallways, putting a little clip in his step (to look for Joan, who is his friend, he says), Kate has to follow him. She just has to.

She corners him again headed to the second floor. The caves. "What'd you do? Stash her in the caves wrapped up in some laundry?"

As soon as John was cleared by the local police force, he immediately began to search for Joan. Whatever Kate though, Joan had been a fond acquaintance, if not a friend. He also might very well be the only person on the island who truly didn't believe he had killed her, so he might be her best chance at finding her.

The first thing he decided to do was to try and find a map of the island in the Compound. That way he could better facilitate his search in a place that he is completely unfamiliar with. When he saw the caves, he knew that would be the perfect place to start, it was a place where she wouldn't be found by someone just wandering around.

He wasn't at all surprised when Kate spoke up behind him, she was like a dog with a bone and wouldn't let go of it.

"You are welcome to search down here with me," he suggested. "And for her sake, hopefully we do not find her in such a state."
