Martin House
Leo and Lydia are fast asleep in Lydia's bed, where she is in the midst of a bad dream. She is groaning softly as she tosses and turns and anxiously clutches at her blankets with her hands. After a moment, she begins softly murmuring under her breath in her sleep. "Where is he? ...Where is he?" Lydia muttered in her sleep. Lydia mutters for a few more seconds before suddenly awaking with a gasp and sitting up in her bed. She comes to her senses mid-jerk before she finally finishes her train of thought. "Where's Jackson?" Lydia breathed out.
Lydia seems overwhelmed by what she's just experienced as a single tear rolls down her right cheek. "Lydia?" Leo asked quietly. Lydia looked over and saw her boyfriend propped up on his arm as he looked at her with worry and concern swirling in his eyes. "Hey, what's wrong?" Leo asked, sitting up. Lydia wiped away the tear on her cheek. "Nothing. Just a bad dream." Lydia told him, trying to dismiss the conversation. "Lydia, I know when you're lying. You literally can't hide anything from me." Leo told her gently. 
Lydia sighed quietly in defeat. "Jackson was being tortured by Monroe. He was being electrocuted whilst the hunters watched." Lydia told Leo. "I thought Jackson was supposed to be in London?" Leo asked confused. Lydia shrugged. "I thought so to. But if he's not and Monroe got him-" Lydia said but Leo cut her off. "Then we'll find him and save him from Monroe." Leo reassured his girlfriend comfortingly before pulling her into his arms, kissing the top of her head. He soon felt her relax in his hold and saw she had fallen back asleep. He gently and carefully laid her back down, watching her head hit the pillow softly.
His phone then lit up as a silent message came through. Leo saw the light in the corner of his eye and turned to look at his phone before picking it up.

Leo turned his phone before lying down, pressing his chest against Lydia's back and wrapping his arm over her waist. He let his muscle relax before slowly drifting off.
The Next Day ~ McCall House
Lydia has just walked through the back door of the McCall House, shutting the door behind her before calling out for her friend and boyfriend. "Scott? Leo?" Lydia called out. Lydia seems unnerved by how quiet and empty the house is as she makes her way through the kitchen and into the living room. "Leo? Scott?" She called out again. Suddenly, Peter appears behind Lydia, who doesn't initially notice him as she wanders toward the staircase. "Hello, Lydia." Peter said. Shocked by the sound of Peter's voice, Lydia spins on her heel and gasps before closing her eyes in annoyance as she catches her breath.
"Uhh... What are you doing here?" Lydia asked the man. Peter's uncharacteristically nervous demeanor regarding his presence at Scott's house manages to come through his attempt to look casual. "Looking for Malia and Leo. What are you doin' here?" Peter retorted. Lydia looks at him pointedly before rolling her eyes. "...Looking for Leo and Scott. Obviously." Lydia spoke. "Why?" Peter asked. Lydia frowned in frustration. "Why are you looking for Leo and Malia?" Lydia asked. Peter takes a deep breath before speaking what is very clearly a lie. "...Parental concern." Peter answered, the lie being painfully obvious.
Lydia narrows her eyes, making it obvious that she doesn't believe a word he's saying. "Huh." Lydia let out. Knowing he's caught, Peter tries a different tactic. "Why didn't you just call Scott or Leo?" Peter asked. "Why didn't you call Leo or Malia?" Lydia retorted. Exasperated, Peter finally breaks down. "This... we're not... this is... We're not getting very far with this conversation." Peter said, slightly frustrated. Lydia sighs deeply before she begins with the truth of the matter, though it seems to pain her to do so. "I can't reach either of them." Lydia told him truthfully.
