It's not the first time Tommy hasn't shown up, but it doesn't stop Billy from worrying. He's complied and summarized his research, along with the first steps they'll need to take.
It's a while before he discovers Tommy's message for him, and not long after that before he sees the news and puts two and two together. He's still trying to figure out what the hell he can do now when the Mansion explodes, and Billy's heroes are suddenly gone, all but shattering what's left of his faith.
He has no way to reach Tommy. No way to find him.
Billy does run out to Jersey, but it's a stupid, and fruitless attempt. He's not sure what he hoped to accomplish. There's not nearly enough information to help him find Tommy, and he's left with no more information than he started. No closer to finding Tommy.
Tommy :( :( :( And sure we can pad some time
