Realising she was in danger, Honey phoned Jay on her mobile and left a message before Paul made her hang up, leading her to an abandoned alleyway. 

Listening to the voicemail, a concerned Jay went looking for Honey as it was unusual for her to sounds that drunk so early in the day.

While the character was left even more worried when he went to the restaurant they ate at to be told Honey was stumbling and left with her date.   

With an unconscious Honey lying on the floor, Paul evilly took out his mobile phone and started recording her before unbuckling his belt.
