The Missing
The number of missing young adults in Seattle had risen steadily in the past two months. Posters of the missing young adults were put up on telephone poles, bulletin boards in local businesses and anywhere else people were allowed to put up signs. Loved ones searched for the missing persons and continued to plaster the city with the missing posters.

A young girl, probably around the age of twenty two, stumbled down the sidewalk about a block from the Wolf's Den. Her clothes were torn and dried blood stained one forearm. She tripped on the uneven sidewalk and fell to her knees.

	Jo breathes heavily, lugging along the now dead weight. Once she's within sight of the door, she gives a shout. "Greg! Tyler? Bram? Need some help!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg was wiping down the bar when he heard Jo call for him. He dropped the cleaning rag and hurried to the door. "Jo?" He saw her helping along a young woman and rushed to her side. "What happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Something's got her scared half to death, and beat her almost the rest of the way." Jo lets Greg help with her, moving them all off the street. "Your guess is as good as-- no, your guess is probably better than mine. I'm still the new girl to all this weird stuff." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"In my office," Greg said as he scooped the girl up. "C'mon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I dropped my phone when she freaked out before passing out. Accidentally hit the canccel button. Should I still call 911?" She follows Greg's lead, getting the girl situated in his office. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg didn't answer right away. He lay the woman down on the couch. "I don't know," he said as he examined her. The dried blood concerned him. "It doesn't look like he was attacked. The blood is from a wound in the crook of her elbow." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"What? Let me look..." Jo grabs some paper towels, wets them, and starts cleaning the wound, just enough to look at it more clearly. One mostly clean puncture wound. "That's... not an attack from a mugging... or trying to torture someone... is it?" She furrows her brow, looking at Greg. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know," he said. "It looks like it's from a needle. I don't see tracks, so I don't think she's a regular IV drug user." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jo rolls up her sleeves and tries to clean the girl up, checking for any other injuries. "She's really messy, but... I'm not seeing any other major damage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-04-25 06:11 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm not either," Greg said. "Can you stay with her? I'm going to go get some water and some broth for her. Hopefully she'll regain consciousness soon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilonstrings 2013-04-25 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	Jo nods and does what she can to arrange the girl comfortably. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg comes back a few moments later with a glass of water and a bowl of hot broth. "Any change?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilonstrings 2013-04-26 12:04 am UTC (link)
	"Don't think so? I mean, she doesn't seem like she's dieing, but I'm no nurse." Jo looks worried. "Should we call Rita at least? Maybe she's got some magic potion-y junk or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-04-26 12:06 am UTC (link)
	"Her breathing is regular and I can hear her heartbeat. It's steady. I think she'll be okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jo blinks, then puts her head to the girl's chest, nodding as she confirms Greg's hearings. "Sharp ears, man. Would've made music school a lot easier if I had that... Can you smell anything about where she was too?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-04-26 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"Too many different smells on her," he said. "We'll just have to wait and see if she can tell us what happened." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"If you say so..." Jo frets a bit. This is so far outside her wheelhouse. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The woman's eyes opened and she blinked a few times. She started to sit up, but stopped and put a hand to her head. "Where am I?" she asked looking around. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-04-29 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	"You're safe," Greg assured her. "You collapsed outside and my friend Jo brought you inside my bar. Can you tell us what happened to you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilonstrings 2013-04-30 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"Do you know how you got that mark on your arm?" Jo supports her head gently as she points out the wound. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They had me in a room with others and put a needle in my arm. They were taking blood from me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-05-01 08:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Do you know who they were? Did you catch any names? Do you know where they were holding you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	devilonstrings 2013-05-01 10:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Others?" Jo feels her skin crawl. "How... how many others are we talking about?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2013-05-01 10:47 pm UTC (link)
	"I...I..I don't know. It was a big room and there were quite a few others with needles in their arms. I don't know who grabbed me. I was coming out of a club and was grabbed." She shook her head. "I don't know where. I got free and stumbled around for a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-05-01 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	Greg looked at Jo. "Stay with her while I go call the others. I think their help will be needed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
