Grant turned off the highway onto the dirt road leading to Rebeca and Susan’s home. Right away, he felt uncomfortable. A police car was parked outside the house.

“That’s not a good omen,” said Elena.

“No, it’s not,” replied Grant, speeding up until he came to a stop next to the cruiser. They jumped out and ran to the porch. Grant didn’t bother to knock. He yanked open the door and rushed inside.

Rebeca was inside, sitting at the dinner table with a police officer; she waved at them to join her.

“What’s wrong?” asked Grant.

Rebeca wiped the tears from her eyes with a handkerchief. “It’s Susan—”

“She’s missing,” said Grant, finishing the sentence.

The police officer turned in his chair and looked up at Grant. “Sir, would you mind telling me who you are, and how you know that Susan Dove is missing?”

Grant dug out his military ID. “My name is Captain David Grant, and my partner is Doctor Elena Leon. As for Susan, I didn’t know she was gone until I stepped inside the house.”

“Officer, these people are my friends,” explained Rebeca.

Elena sat next to Rebeca and took a hand in hers. “What happened?”

“Susan said she was feeling tired, so I told her to go take a nap before supper,” said Rebeca. “When I went to check on her, she was gone. At first, I thought it was a joke, so I checked around her room, but when I couldn’t find her, I began to panic. I tore the house apart looking for her. When she didn’t turn up anywhere, I called the police to report her missing.”

“Can I check her room?” asked Grant.

“Yes, of course.”

“Make sure you don’t touch anything,” warned the officer.

Grant nodded and made his way up to Susan’s room. The door was wide open. He stood in the doorway, looking around the room. Rebeca hadn’t exaggerated; everything from Susan’s bed to her dresser had been moved to one side during the frantic search to find her. He took one step inside and saw a couple of new pictures on her wall. Instead of a mountain, they were of an island. Like before, she had written the latitude and longitude on the drawings. Grant took a couple of pictures with his phone and forwarded them to the duty officer back at Gauntlet. He was about to leave the room when a thought occurred to him. He stopped and walked to the wall the alien was supposed to come through on Susan’s drawings. He placed his hand on the wall and pushed against it, trying to see if it moved. It didn’t budge an inch. Grant swore and ripped a picture from the wall. It was of the gray alien and Susan sitting in her room. He had seen enough. His blood began to boil. They had taken Susan, and he wasn’t going to rest until he had her back safely in the arms of her grandmother.

“Did you see what you wanted to?” asked Rebeca when Grant walked into the kitchen.

“The drawings of the island, when did she do those?”

“Yesterday.
