[ In contrast, the next public announcement over the communicators is much more calm. So calm it's almost eerie, in fact, like all the emotion has been completely drained from the voice that rings out. ]

Since we're all on red alert anyway, I'd like to report another missing person. My housemate, Balthazar. I haven't seen him around, and I am starting to grow concerned. If people could keep an eye out for him while looking, I would appreciate it greatly.

[ Yeah, it's definitely eerie. Calm is almost cold in this instance, and after a short stretch of silence there's a soft rustle of sound in the background, then she finishes speaking. ]

If anyone needs me, I'll be out looking. Thanks.

Matter of time. I was my kindergarten's hide and seek champion for four consecutive years, he's not staying hidden from me.

[Actually, he is, and it's really disconcerting, but lying and pretending nothing's wrong is obviously the best way to deal with this.]

Trust me, we'll find him.

If enough people are looking, it shouldn't take long to find him.

[ Maybe she's taking his disappearance a little worse than she would have anticipated, but where Gabriel has his humorous comments and devil-may-care attitude, Anna is taking to going into all out autopilot mode for her "coping strategy". ]

I'll tear this whole town apart if I have to.

[ Maybe autopilot mode strongly resembles extremely contained anger. Just a little. ]

[Oh, he feels that anger. Small animals in the woods on the other side of the town probably feel it. He winces a little, not that it's obvious over the communicator.]

Not sure if that'll help any, if it gets to that point.

[If it does, though, he'll be there to assist with the destruction.]

A lot harder to hide something when you don't have anything to hide them in.

[ She's pretty set on finding him. 'Pretty set' meaning almost single-minded determination, and she's not about to back down and calm down any time soon. It hits a lot closer to home when it's one of hers that's disappeared. ]

What d'you reckon are the chances that if these 'scientist' SOBs took him they'll be hanging round where we can kick their sorry asses into giving him back?

If they've got any sense of self-preservation, they won't be.

So let's hope they don't.

There's always the one in the lighthouse.

...are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting?

He could have answers.

Worth a shot.

[He won't be getting his hopes up, personally, but if nothing else, beating the crap out of the guy will feel good.]

What're we waiting for, huh?

He's in the lighthouse.

[ Honestly, she's not much more hopeful about the results they might get. Of course that doesn't really matter all that much. ] Meet me there.

On it. There in five, honey.
