Wells comes away from the table where he's been
talking to Ace, and he's got an extraordinarily grim expression. "Bar," he says, "I need paper and something to write with, please."
He leaves the same note for Philippus, Andrew, Stephanie Brown, and Cooper.
There's been a rash of disappearances at a village called Winterbourne Gunner, just outside Salisbury. Considering how close that is to Porton Down and the Defence CBRN Centre, Ace and me're going to go investigate. I'm taking the dogs and as much of my kit as I can, and I'm telling Annie in person.
We'll be back as soon as possible.
-Wells
That written, he passes the notes into Bar's care and goes out the front door, returning a bit later and heading for
Ace.
