The red mark spreads
In total three people who had gone missing months ago, had returned to the Shelter. Apparently, they had been found as they wandered through the forest and stumbled upon the gate. Those at the shelter recognized them as one of their own straight away.
When the people had gone missing, Ko had ordered the guards to remember their faces, so if they were spotted at any second, they would be recognised. Out of the three people, there was one young female, an older male, and a Traveler. They had been brought into the faction and had been placed in Ko's office for his return.
Entering the room with Hayley following him, Ko saw the three of them and looked almost disappointed.
"We have tried speaking to them sir, but none of them remember anything about what happened. They don't know where they went or anything about the others that went missing as well." One of the men said.
