Mitchell had gone to work, just like normal, and come home, like normal. That he didn't see Doug and Selene didn't immediately register.
Even not seeing George right away didn't register; he was going to be teaching at the college, perhaps he was there.
It was later, when he couldn't find young Annie, when George didn't come home that he started to twig in that something had changed.
So he went looking, trodding his way through the village. George wasn't here. The messager confirmed that, same with young Annie. And Doug. And Selene. And Tiffany.
Christ.
He fell onto a bench, sending Annie a message, then slouching lower on the bench, frowning. It was almost better for George not to have come at all than to come and be taken away so soon.
