At Spencer's reaction, Tony said, "No, wait, what do you mean? You think I hid her away somewhere?"
"Do you know where she has gone?" Spencer asked, his eyes narrowed suspiciously.
Tony took a deep breath before responding, "Spencer, if I knew where she went, do you think I would have come to you? I don't have time to play games. I'm genuinely worried about her, and that's why I came to you!"
Right then, Ben walked in and informed Tony, "I talked to Sam, and he said he hasn't given any missions to Thalia. He also doesn't know that she's with Alpha Dave right now."
Upon hearing Ben's statement, Spencer finally realized that this was not a prank from the boys. Tony turned back to Spencer and reassured him, "Do you hear that? I'm worried about her too! I want to find her just as much as you do!" Spencer silently apologized before leaving the room.
As Spencer walked away, Ben asked, "Where are you going?" to which Spencer responded, "I'm going to find her, obviously."
"But do you even know where to look?" Tony questioned.
Spencer furrowed his brows, feeling determined. "I'll find her no matter what. I'll search every corner of the earth if I have to."
"If she's left willingly, it won't be easy for you to find her. Besides, you can't just find her because you want to," Tony explained.
Spencer turned around, frustration evident on his face. "Do you know how to find her then?"
Tony raised an eyebrow. "I don't have a way to find her directly, but I might be able to track her down through other means." He slowly removed his watch and stated, "Thalia gave us this watch for safety. It has internet and location sharing functions."
"Are you saying you can find out where she is?" Spencer asked hopefully.
"Of course," Tony confirmed as he inclined his head.
"Then hurry up and track her down!" Spencer urged, rushing back to Tony.
Tony glanced at him and said, "But first, you need to tell me if something has happened between the two of you."
Spencer's frown deepened, but Tony quickly added, "I'm not prying into your personal matters, and I won't ask for details. I just want to know if you care about Thalia."
Spencer continued to stare at Tony, unsure of what to say.
"If you don't care about her, then I'll tell you to let her go. It may hurt her, but it's better than wasting her time," Tony advised.
Spencer pursed his lips, his determination evident. "If anything, I'm willing to trade my life for hers." His response made it clear just how important Thalia was to him.
Tony knew this as well, recalling how Spencer had nearly lost his mind when Thalia arrived. However, he couldn't comprehend what was going through Spencer's mind.
"If Thalia means that much to you, why can't you two treat each other well? Look at my parents, Daddy and Nelly. They let go of their past and found happiness. Why can't you?" Tony questioned, attempting to grasp the situation.
Spencer's face became complicated, and he replied, "We have a deep-seated conflict. It's not as easy as just letting go."
"A conflict? What do you mean?" Tony asked, sensing that Spencer had revealed more than he intended.
"Nothing. You wouldn't understand even if I explained it. So, are you going to track her through the watch or not? If you're not, I'll search for her on my own," Spencer declared impatiently.
Watching Spencer's frustration, Tony gave him a look and commented, "You're so impatient." He then focused on his watch, accessing a map of Thalia's last-known location. After studying it, Tony's frown deepened. "Is there something wrong?" Spencer inquired.
"Thalia has turned off the location sharing function," Tony stated. "What does that mean?" Spencer asked anxiously.
"It means that Thalia doesn't want us to find her. She's purposefully hiding from us this time," Tony explained.
Spencer tensed for a moment before taking the watch from Tony. He pointed at a spot on the map and questioned, "What does this mean?"
"This is where Thalia was last seen. The sharing function was turned off three hours ago," Tony clarified.
After glancing at the address, Spencer returned the watch to Tony. "I'll go check out that place. Keep an eye on the watch and let me know if you find any way to reach her."
Tony nodded, and as Spencer turned to leave, he called out, causing Spencer to turn back. Tony pursed his lips, contemplating his words before speaking again, "Spencer, Thalia is someone very important to me, along with Nelly and Donna. I don't know what happened between the two of you that neither of you can let go of, but I hope you can resolve it properly this time, whether it leads to reconciliation or separation. Just remember not to hurt her. Otherwise, we'll be enemies, even if you're Nelly's friend."
