Default HELP!

I have been driving my car pretty frequently the past few weeks since i am off from school for winter break. Yesterday i went to check my oil and to my surprise my supercharger belt was laying in my engine bay. The 3.8" pulley (don't laugh, haha) looks to be fine, but a bearing closer to the front of the engine bay looks a little cracked. I snapped a few pictures for a visual. Any advise or help?? Thanks for your time guys.

Your idler pulley (#8 in the pic above) is completely gone and from what it looks like in your pics, your tensioner pulley (#3 above) is getting to be in rough shape.

check out the tensioner pulley carefully before going to the store/dealer for the idler pulley. How does it spin by hand? Noisey? Is it cracked or too worn?
