Walter stood looking at the men who were nervously standing there waiting for orders.
"So… we know from the footprints that there were four of them. We know they came ashore and are in the village somewhere?" Walter said slowly as he tried to understand what they were saying "Or up the mountain?"
"Fen and Frankie are going over the mountain now from the sky" Mountain said calmly like they might be going around him… Walter getting this weird image of tiny little biplanes flying around his head like a King Kong movie.
"So… I want the general consensus to be that everything is fine. Let everyone know via the whisper tree that we are looking for someone that does not belong." Walter agreed as he looked around at his men "I also want the entire fucking place checked, grid by grid. If you find one… I want to know what he is…"
Walter's voice faded as a phone went off and Twitch pulled the phone out to listen then look over at Walter "We found traces of someone trying to get into the library's back entrance."
"The library?" Walter was confused now as he looked around the room "what the fuck could be in the library worth stealing?"
They had no idea.

Ianto entered the hall and looked around the room "Good evening everyone, welcome to Stained Glass. Does everyone have heir templates from last time? I have some new marbled glass that arrived on Monday if you want to pick through it for some pieces."
Ianto helped some who were still learning to cut their pieces, laughing and joking like nothing was wrong but the entire evening he could not get the smell of smoke out of his nose, at one point opening the doors to air the room even though everyone else said they could only smell solder.
Ianto knew it was coming.
Mi' Lady stuck by his side like glue, feeling his distress and he knew everyone noticed how often he touched her for reassurance.
It was coming.
