[so she's not very surprised when they don't find him in there. she's not panicking, because she's choosing not to, but there's something very relieving in the way that they take her seriously, snap to attention, immediately have plans in motion. she'll just nod along.]
I'll look for you at the diner later, just to be sure. I won't go near the water. [she takes a deep breath, thinking about the grave way they're talking. they know.] ...Thank you for helping.
[she feels a little better, knowing they have the others looking after bax, even though she does not watch movies and does not know what richie is going for here.
she will go back to find the others, then, hoping maybe they found him already.]

[Eddie punches his arm.]
Stop doing Humphry Bogart, asshole, let's go find that kid.
Right. Bye, Jen.
[Eddie nods.] Later, Jen!
[The pair dart off.]
