Ain't no sunshine when she's gone....
Three days after Rose’s disappearance, Joey Allerdyce is a worried man. Coming home from Misha’s and finding out that she didn’t come home worried him a little, but he knew Rose could and would take care of herself. If she’d called during the first or the second day, Joey would have just chalked it up to Rose wanting a bit more time and space to sort out her own head. He would have given her as much time as she needed as long as they could set some time to talk.

When no word comes after the second day, Joey’s mindset goes from worried to frantic. He wanted to know what was going on in Rose’s head, even if she would speak to him. Repeated attempts to reach her phone go unanswered. Joey volunteers for monitor and camera duty each night hoping to catch a glimpse, any glimpse of Rose sneaking back onto the grounds.

If somethin’s happened to her, it’s on me. I was the one who pushed her to get all fancied up and dragged her out, knowin’ what could happen. How could I be so stupid?

The normally sarcastic and funny Joey that everyone has come to know is replaced by a young man who’s grim and determined. A part of him starts to wonder if Rose really meant every word she said to him. The thoughts chase themselves around in his head until, finally, Joey finds himself sitting on a bench in the garden, staring off into space.

He’s not being watchful at all, so anyone could sneak up on him right now, even if they’re making enough noise to alert a sleeping elephant.

	Anastasia hadn't seen Rose in three days, since Joey was brought home messed up from their date (which, she had wanted to kill him for). She was starting to get worried. For Rose...and for Joey, who wasn't himself at all. "Joey?" She asked, walking up to him. "Are you...okay?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Define 'okay', Ana-Pants. If you mean, 'am I alive?', then yeah, I'm peachy. If you mean, 'Am I worried sick about my girlfriend?', then no, I'm not okay at all." Joey says, not looking up at her. "She hasn't called in three days, Anastasia. I should be out lookin' for her, but I don't even know where to start." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Brad was off doing some preliminary scouting for their big Atlantic City trip. Gretchen had tried not to worry about Rose's disappearance at first, but three days incommunicado was absolutely absurd, even if she were upset. Something had happened.

And so Gretchen suddenly came into the conversation.
"I think it's about time we take this to Alternate-Aunt-Jean about using Cerebro."

	"Did she give you a reason why she wouldn't come home?" Anastasia asked before noticing Gretchen. "Yeah..that might be best." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"All she said was that I didn't deserve to be stuck with an animal." Joey says, shaking his head.

"I don't get why she'd say that, though. People tried to jump us before and we handled 'em together. Nothin' happened then. She just...she wouldn't listen to anything I said. It was like she /tryin'/ to hurt me." Joey says.

"Yeah, Cerebro was my first idea, but Mrs. Summers and the Professor said it was undergoing some tweaking and that they're going to help find Rose ASAP." Joey says.

"That was when I asked ten minutes ago." Joey says.

	"Commitment can be scary," Gretchen says, frowning. "Maybe her opinion changed as things got more serious." Pause. "...Or maybe one of those thugs made specific threats to you, and she panicked about someone hurting you, so she tried to push you away, but that's awfully scaredy-cat for Rose."

	It was time to get her Glenn Close on again. All she has to do is convince Joey to go help her find her mother, then stash him somewhere safe until he forgets all about dog-girl. Foxx takes a deep breath and checks her appearance, making sure Rachael Darkholme is securely in place. Then she rings the buzzer at the front gate. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Oh gee! A hick! Foxx thinks. Adopting her most fretful and worried expression, Rachael speaks, adopting an Australian accent immediately. "I'm sorry to bother you, but...do you know if Joey Allerdyce lives here? He said I could find him here if I needed him, and I do. My name is Racahel. We're old friends from Australia." Rachael says.

	"Frosty?" Rose's voice was barely above a whisper, sounding strained and pained. "I'm inna bad way here, Frosty. The Harada Clan's got a hold of me. Their place. Japan." She hesitated, knowing the conversation should be kept brief, but she had to know. "Is Joey all right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What the hell?" Tina jumped up out of her chair. "How in the hell...no, Joey is not okay. He's a mess. We're holding him together though but...you're not okay. Tell me what's going on. Fast." A beat. "We'll get you out." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"FIND HER, NOW, YOU FOOLS!" Harada can be heard yelling from somewhere nearby. "If she escapes, every man here will die!" he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	What exactly had happened? All that because she was missing? If it was anything like her world, Rose knew the general location of the compound, if not the specific address. She quickly rattled off what she knew for Tina. "Haradas. Ninja clan with a feud with my dad. Forced marriage. Revenge. Bad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tina hung up with Rose and grabbed the detailed coordinates that she'd been able to get in regards to precisely where Rose was before hitting a button on her comm that would sound the alert to the rest of X-Force: meet me in the situation room. Now. (Reply to this)(Thread)
