"missing."

"missing." is the first episode of the second season of "My Virtual Escape", and the ninth episode overall. It premiered on January 21, 2018 on StoryFire.

Description
Abraham deals with the aftermath of killing Mother Sarah while Isaac finds some purpose in E.V.E.

Plot
The episode begins with Isaac monologuing about how E.V.E. has given him an escape and purpose in his life. It then transitions to Abraham who is watching a KNN report about the disappearance of Mother Sarah. He goes to Noah's house and asks him to help him get rid of Mother Sarah's car, dagger and body, but he only agrees to move the car and dagger because he doesn't want to leave any evidence that may incriminate him.

Meanwhile in E.V.E., Isaac hunts down Gingy and takes the XP he was carrying. He then goes to see Elijah to trade in the golden gun, but Elijah doesn't want it without any bullets, so he sells him Gingy's gun instead. After that, he goes to Arachnid's place where he brings back the XP he got from Elijah, and he is told that he needs to get the stolen XP back from Rebekah. He is also given another bullet for the golden gun.

He decides to take a break and log out to get some food. After finding nothing to eat he goes to tell Mary-Two to buy some more food, but instead finds her talking to Delilah about her baby shower which causes them to have an argument about the validity of her pregnancy. Joseph pulls him into the kitchen during their argument and tells him that the baby is real and could be a second chance for them. After some hesitation, Isaac continues to say it's fake, which causes Joseph to send him to look after Great Aunt Martha so he can learn respect, much to Isaac's dismay.

He arrives at Martha's place and meets her personal nurse, Ruth, and Ruth's mother, Elizabeth. Ruth tells Isaac what he needs to do to look after Martha, then she leaves. After sitting with a sleeping Martha for a while, Isaac decides to go on the deck and call Leah. They make amends after Isaac rejected her, and he asks if she wants to hang out. She says she is busy looking after her brother, Jacob, but tells him to come to Tommy's house tomorrow, which he reluctantly agrees to since Tommy bullied him in high school. While on the phone, Isaac didn't see Martha wake up and try to walk, so he hears her fall and goes back inside to help her up. He makes her a frozen dinner like Ruth told him to, but by the time it's ready, Martha is sleeping again which leads to Isaac going home to pick up his E.V.E. helmet and try and find some XP. He finds XP by looting random spots, killing Gingy, and selling the golden gun to Elijah. While he's looting for XP, Abraham is back at his house in real life taking care of Mother Sarah's dead body.

After tiring himself out, Isaac logs out of E.V.E. and goes into Martha's drug cabinet to decide whether he wants to take uppers or downers.

StoryFire Prologue
As Mother Sarah takes her final breaths... She realizes she made a fatal mistake... She followed the orders of a false prophet.

MOTHER SARAH: forgive me.......

Mother Sarah finally sees "God". And with a final electrical impulse shooting through her brain, she understands everything clearly.

MOTHER SARAH: (thinking) this is all just.... for you.

Mother Sarah dies. Abraham looks at what he just did in shock and horror. He looks to the VR helmet sitting on the couch still...

ABRAHAM: (thinking) This was.... real life. Oh my God...

Abraham wastes no time and takes Mother Sarah's arms... he begins dragging her to the shed. He plops her lifeless corpse in there and locks the door, never to enter again. Nobody is ever to find out about this. He goes inside to hide the bloody knife that was use to fend the Nun off.

ABRAHAM: (muttering to himself) It was just self-defense.... it was just self-defense.

Abraham... struggling with his new demon and guilt... puts on the E.V.E. helmet to escape.

ABRAHAM: I gotta find that fucking blue-haired bitch, Rebekah. I gotta get my XP back!!!

Meanwhile... Isaac is trying to track down Rebekah as well.

ELIJAH: Pssst. Hey buddy!

Isaac turns around to see a very large man, carrying a sniper rifle.

ISAAC: What the fuck? Who the hell are you?

ELIJAH: The name's Elijah. You looking for some XP?

ISAAC: Yeah, bro. Why you got something for me?

ELIJAH: Depends. What you got for me?

ISAAC: You want my money or some shit? Is there an in-game currency that I'm not aware of?

ELIJAH: Nah, bro. You got any weapons, ammo or explosives? I'll pay you in XP for 'em.

Isaac notices a double "??" on his wrist. This guy is a serious threat.

ISAAC: Uhhh... I'm good, man. I'm just gonna go back to looting.

Isaac goes to walk away, but the dude grabs him.

ELIJAH: What's your name, kid? I ain't never seen you around.

ISAAC: It's Isaac, bro. Get your fucking hands off of me.

ELIJAH: No problem bro. You get me some weapons... I give you some XP. It's a fair trade.

ISAAC: Yeah, yeah. I got that.

ELIJAH: Excuse me...?

ISAAC: What?

ELIJAH: Sorry, I was talking to somebody else...

ISAAC: Huh? Bro, I gotta get going... you see a bitch running around here with blue hair?

ELIJAH: Nah, man. Ain't seen nothing. Just hearing things. Be careful. These woods speak sometimes...

ISAAC: Right. Peace, Elijah!

Isaac, who now is freaked the fuck out, continues on his search to find Rebekah... Needless to say, he doesn't find her. And neither does Abraham.
