Jerry trembled, nostrils flaring and eyes wild as he just barely stopped himself from pulling the trigger at Wash.
Thankfully, he lowered the cannon, looking about ready to collapse, "It was HIM it was him itwashimitwashimohgodohgod whatdowedo okay d-d-don't panic-anic ok just breath and.... and... can't have gone far can't... just keep... S-s-SASHA!" He lurched forward into the fog again, like a lost dog whining and praying for the scent home.

"Jerry, Jerry, come on man, you can do this. Deep breaths. Now...Who is 'him'?"
He pretended not not notice the whole almost shooting him in the face thing.

Jerry was probably wrong, they could have gotten far because that guy was some sort of shadow-thing. But Bix couldn't justify standing around. He wasn't as beat up or in pain as Rin or Jerry. He may as well try to catch the guy.
Or would going off alone be bad?
"Should I try to chase him.. or look for clues or something?" Bix looked torn. He didn't like just leaving Sasha to be carried off. "What's in this direction?" He pointed off into the mist.

"I d-don't know I DON'T KNOW!" Jerry babbled, but caught sight of Wash's concerned face before drawing in several deep breaths. Calm, keep calm, keep your head, "I... I w-was just starting out... Sent on a mission to... to w-work on the school..." He gestured stiffly back behind them with a trembling hand, Roar balanced on a shoulder sending him teetering on his legs as the adrenalin died down. He desummoned the weapon again before he collapsed. "It... it was hiding in the basement. It... it almost killed Harrison... We... we couldn't stop him then either... Oh g-god oh god what... what do we do?? Can't call... can't call a superior oh god oh god just... Right. Right, see if... see if there's any... any sign... we can follow them. Track it down. Get her back."

"Yeah, yeah man, good thinking," he glanced to Bix, expression grave and concerned. "We'll get her back Jerry, she's still got her weapon right? She's not completely..." He remembered to vomit stains and the possible-concussion..."Er, incapacitated."
And then he did the- for him- near unthinkable. He whipped out his phone, and slowly typed out a desperate plea, biting his lip. The keyboard was so tiny...
Send.

Bix hurried into the mist as soon as Wash said it was a good idea. How far had he walked before he realized it was futile? He couldn't see anything and the shadow man didn't seem to leave footprints.
After a few minutes he wandered back.
"I don't.. there's not even a stray hair. It's like he wasn't here. Let's go to the caves. Tell someone, get help."

Jerry wobbled in place. Maybe it was exhaustion, maybe it was the sickness, maybe it was the pain emanating up from his leg, maybe it was the fact he was covered in two women's vomit.
His knees buckled, and he promptly went to his happy place.

Well, that was...not entirely unexpected. Poor guy. He stooped over, attempting to grab one of Jerry's arms gently, but gave up and just picked up the guy in his arms.  He was...surprisingly heavy. And he smelled rancid. Wash grunted and hefted his buddy over to where Sally lay, nudging her with his boot and desummoning her before crouching to scoop her up awkwardly in one hand. "Yeah...Let's go get...help."

Bix moved to Rin's side. "C'mon Rin. We are going back."
The two hunters were practically catatonic and Bix hoisted her the same way. "Let's go."
Bix wasn't the strongest so he jostled the young woman in his arms a bit before heading off to the Underground.

Lucky for Bix Rin had already vomited everything she had in her on Jerry. So at least the only downside was she was dead weight in his arms, not dead weight spewing all sorts of things.
Bix is very lucky.
