Melionna stopped by Jerry's house the next morning to check up on him. Elina welcomed Melionna into their home but, at the time Jerry was out for a walk. Whilst he was out on his walk he overheard screaming in the distance. Jerry's legs started shaking when he saw a woman getting raped by 3 men while 2 men were armed with guns while watching. Jerry was trembling and started slowly walking away so he doesn't get spotted, but he accidentally trips on a rock.
Meanwhile
Back at Jerry's house, Melionna and Elina start talking and Elina asks Melionna if she likes Jerry.
"What!? No, of course not what would make you think that anyway?" Melionna asked nervously.
Elina smiled and told Melionna to take care of Jerry.
Melionna said, "Sure uhm I'll take care of him."
Kelsey came out her room looking for Jerry and Elina told her that he's still out. Kelsey got a bit worried because Jerry has been out for an hour. Melionna started getting worried and went to look for Jerry and she started getting a bad feeling.
"Oh no! I hope he hasn't run into them." exclaimed Melionna.
She started running and eventually heard someone screaming. She quickly rushed and found a woman lying on the floor without clothing and saw Jerry trembling while being held at gun point.
Melionna screams, "Jerry No!"
"Wait! Don't shoot!" demands a mysterious man.
A mysterious man tells the 2 guys with gun to put their guns down.
"Wait big brother, is that you?" Melionna asked surprisingly.
The mystery man said, "Yes! What the hell are you doing here!? I told you we would be roaming around today!"
Melionna told the mystery man that her friend Jerry was out walking, but he ran into you guys and she came looking him.
She continued, "Please forgive me big bro Eli."
Eli told Melionna that they'll talk about it at their home. Jerry got up and left with Melionna. On their way back Melionna asked Jerry if he could keep, what happened a secret. Jerry still terrified held on to Melionna and said "please don't leave me", in a sad tone. Melionna hugged Jerry and told him that she won't go anywhere.When Jerry got home, he said goodbye to Melionna. Later that day when Melionna got home, Eli called Melionna and asked her if her friend, Jerry will be a hindrance to their plans.
