“Great, thanks Have there been any updates recently?” ta 

“Yes, we just confirmed two of the locations have definitely housed Greys, and a team has just identified a third focation that I have a team on the way to,” she nods and brige up a picture of what looks like a disused prison

“Is that the third location?” Luke asks, leaning in to get a ser look. 

“Yes, the other two are a similar size to this. I think we are looking for something pretty big,” Natalie says. 

“What evidence was left behind at these locations?” Theo s 

“Let me show you,” she says as she pulls up a series of photos and begins flicking through them. 

The first shows a small gas cooking stove, beside it are two gas canisters. The second picture shows pans, cups and plates. In the third, there are blankets, and pl 

“What makes you believe it was the rogues that left these things behind?” task. 

“These,” she says before opening up another file. 

She shows us a picture of a wall and I frown. “I don’t understand.” 

This wall is perfect, it’s completely intact and there are no cracks in the plaster. The other walls are in a bad state which leads us to believe someone was practicing a molecular manipulation gift. 

Natalie flicks to the next picture, which shows four distinct gouges that are consistent with a wolf’s nails scraping across the wooden floor. The next photo is a clear wolf paw print in the mud, which Natalie tells us is right outside the building. 

“Have you checked for any reports of wolves being sighted in unusual places?” I ask. 

“Yes, but there is nothing outside of what would be normal for the county they were spotted in,” she sighs. 

“Okay, good work Natalie. Get some rest as soon as you can, I tell her before turning to Luke. 

“Ready?” He asks and I nod. 

“Do we know where we are going first?” Theo asks.

“Then let’s go.” 

Luke ports us to what looks like was once a stunning hotel with beautiful views. It’s such a shame to see it like this and if this was just a sightseeing mission I’d be looking into the place’s history and why it was left to crumble away slowly like this. 

“Remind me why we chose to holiday in England when we could have come to a place like this?” Theo asks as he takes in the crystal blue water of the bay we are in. 

“Because England is where I grew up. I want the kids to experience it,” I say as we make our way to what looks like was once the main entrance of the hotel. 

I examine the ground carefully as we walk, looking for any footprints in the dusty ground. Theo lets out a screech and practically jumps into Luke’s arms. I instantly go on high alert, looking for a threat, until I see some kind of small lizard scramble into a nearby bush. 

“England was a good choice. What the hell was that?” Theo breathes and I roll my eyes.
