Me: Action is action Roy
"Is this the place then?" Edward asked the man.
"Yup this is Guinheim kid." replied, "Off you go then." Edward nodded and hopped out of the wagon, Al climbing out after him.
"Thanks." Al said waving at the man.
"Your welcome kids, just be careful in town. A lot of folks disappear in the woods around here and folks there are suspicious of strangers." said waving back as he pulled away.
"We will thanks!" yelled after him before turning to Al. "Ready Al?" His brother nodded and picked up their suitcase and followed his brother into town. The place was small and as far as Edward could see there was no one walking about. "Something about this seems off Al."
"Brother?" Edward shook his head.
"This place looks completely empty." said quietly. "I'll take the right side of the street and you take the left. Let's see if there is even anyone still living here."
"Right." said, nodding and walking off to search the buildings. Edward stalked towards the closest house on his right and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"Hello? Anyone home?" he called, knocking on the door again. Frustrated he pushed on the door, which swung open easily. The house was vacant and dusty, it was obvious no one had lived there in years. "I guess no one's here then." He left the house and started down to the next one which yielded similar results. As did the next and the next and so on down the line. The town was deserted and had been for some time by the look of things. Edward shrugged and walked back towards the beginning of the street keeping his eyes open for Al who was no where to be seen.
"Al?" he yelled, "Al?" there was no answer. Worried now, Edward made his way through the buildings on the left, but Al was not there either. "Al! Al! Where are you!" Edward passed by one of the narrow alleys that wove between the houses. "Al!" Edward was really worried now. Large drag marks lead down one of the alleys, suspicious now and concerned for Al's safety Edward followed the marks into the alley.
"Grab that one too!" yelled from beside him. Something was thrown over his head obscuring his vision. He struggled for a moment before something smacked against the back of his head. He slumped to the ground unconscious.

Roy sat at his desk, toying with the phone cord idly. He had a strange feeling, one that made him want to follow after the boys. Guinheim had not seen military personnel in years and the rumors about travelers disappearing in that region were certainly disturbing. Pursing his lips he furrowed his brow in frustration.
"That's it I'm going after him." he said in irritation, pushing away from his desk and stalking out of the room and back to his own quarters. He threw civilian clothes on and packed a suitcase. Making a call to Hughes before arranging for a car to go to Guiheim.
