It's after noon when they arrive, a bleak, dreary day, and an ominous blanket of low, gray clouds hangs over the landscape. A recent rain has left everything damp, giving the scenery an air of decay. It seems there is no end to the parade of empty fields and derelict farmhouses flanking this stretch of road. As they drive towards the coordinates of Black Rock, Thoster's phone abruptly rings.

A woman and a child. She doesn't know where they are. Somewhere dark and cramped. She says it's getting harder to breathe. We've got to find them.

[He promised her that he would find her. He intends to keep that promise.]

ahead, they finally see a sign: "Black Rock. Elev. 648. Pop 282." at least, that's what it seems to say; a dense coating of rust has obscured some of the letters. ahead, a cluster of buildings and leafless trees sits brooding and lifeless. just outside of town, a long brick building sprawls next to an empty soccer field. further ahead is an old gas station, its plate glass windows covered in plywood. ] Not much of a village.

one stands out, however. it's not a truck, but a minivan, and it looks like it could have been parked there yesterday. judging by its delaware license plates, it's a long way from home. its tires are flat and the front passenger door is ajar. thoster notices that the tires appears to have been slashed multiple times by a sharp instrument. ]

Seems someone wanted to make sure this one didn't leave.
[And since its open, he'll head into the car and have a look around (search 15)]

Marilyn. The name of the woman who called me. And this looks to be her husband, I'd wager. Michael. This is their car. And someone wanted to make sure they didn't leave this place.

[pirate probs. but then to erky:]
No, she didn't say anything about a husband. Seemed very panicked, though.
no subject
VIP. Very Important Person. Meaning people in high place like celebrity, leader, and royalty. Famous people for short.[He explains to Thoster and also to Erky who probably didn't know its meaning either.]
Look, I found a photo of them. [He shows the photo to the team.] Married as expected and they have a two years old daughter named Elinor.
