Is Anywhere Safe?

I arrive at the old warehouse and park behind Noah’s car. As I step out of my truck, I feel the sun shining down on me, but there is no warmth in its rays. I wrap my arms around myself, trying to warm up, but the coldness comes from deep within.

I approach Noah’s car, where Noah, Ryna, and Uncle Alex are talking.

“Did you see what direction he was headed in?” Noah asks Uncle Alex.

“No. But I picked up his trail heading north in that direction,” he points towards the tree line.

“Where were you holding the doctor?” Ryna asks.

“Come on, I’ll show you,” Uncle Alex says as he walks towards the warehouse doors, followed by Noah and Ryna.

I stay back, holding my nose in the air and breathing deeply, trying to pick up any scents. I can faintly smell Andreas and follow his scent towards a small building to the right of the warehouse doors. When I walk into the small room, I find his clothes folded up on a dusty shelf, with his phone on top.
