[MD 2, 5:00, Forests of World's End]
Newt and Dinah followed the strange man who had seemingly just stepped out of a building without a door .. or any obvious exit or entrance. He wasn't being all that careful .. he didn't even seem to worry about anyone seeing him out here.
"He's heading toward the road," Dinah whispered.
Newt nodded pushing up his glasses and continuing on their path behind the man.
When they got to the road, the man stopped and waited. "What the devil do you suppose he's waiting for?" Newt hissed.
They didn't have to wait long as they both saw a dark Mercedes pull up and stop, and then man got in. Almost as suddenly the car was gone. Newt and Dinah looked at each other. "That .. that was Richardson's car," Newt sputtered.
"I don't like this .." Dinah breathed.
"Do you think he knows what happened to his son. Are they using the boy to.. get something out of him?"
"Or was he in it from the beginning?" Dinah asked with a cynical air.
Newt frowned, "He wouldn't .."
Dinah shrugged, "I hope not, Newt. But we need to keep our options open here. We'd better go tell the others, we'll never be able to follow that car."
Newt nodded. Suddenly he grinned, "You ever play paint ball?"
"What?"
He shook his head, "Nothing .. just a game we used to play on weekends in school. We'd all get turned loose in the forest with a gun loaded with paint and play capture the flag." He shrugged, "Being in the forest just kinda reminded me of it .."

"Where did they go?" Newt asked.
"Maybe they found a way into the building." Dinah suggested. "Let's circle it. You go that way, I'll to this way .. We'll meet in the back. Just to scout around a bit."
Newt nodded, pushed up his glasses once again and, headed in the opposite direction ..
