Another morning, another group assembly in the main banquet hall. Another notice of someone having gone missing. And this time it wasn't just one attack. One of the security officers was taken, and... Irene.
Steven had scowled at the ground as Mr. Montorzi relayed what had happened. The island staff hadn't known about the attack that almost took him. That the Latis had intervened and thwarted the attacker. Was this retribution for his and the Latis' interference? Did the security team let their guard down thinking that the disappearances had stopped because of his actions?
Aggron had given a low growl at his side, reminding him that no matter what the reason was, they had to keep pushing forward. Keep searching, keep trying. For their sake, and everyone's.
So that's why he and Aggron were currently waiting outside the security office for Officer Victor to return from his post at the main hall.
He'd read Odette's note again in the morning and learned about the investigation at the training arena. They needed to know where Jenny and Irene were that night. They needed to gather more information to get to the bottom of this...
He spotted the telltale fluff of an Arcanine approaching, and pushed off from the wall where he was leaning.
"Victor, good morning," he greeted solemnly. "I wish it were under better circumstances, but do you have a moment?"
"Mr. Montorzi understandably was light on the specifics but... is there anything you can share with us about your partner's disappearance? Did you know where she was last seen?"
"I know you're the officer in charge now, but for the safety of everyone on the island, we should investigate as a group."
