Theo''s POV


    The kid''s faces light up when they see us. They''re all sitt around the dining table whilst Luke''s parents serve them a feast for breakfast. The twins jump from their seats and run at Josle like they''ve not seen her for years. Josle wraps them both in her arms and the tension In her face melts away. This is exactly what she needed after the conversation we had just had with her Aunt.


    Sammy leaves the table next, joining the small huddle happening. It''s so odd to watch him. As a baby, he was more like me, but as he grew up he became such a good mix of me and Josie. The twins rush to Luke next and Sammyes to me. I enjoy every second of his affection. I know we don''t have much longer before he decides he''s too grown up for cuddles like Harper, As and Joel..


    Josie goes around the table, kissing the two older boys on the head.


    "Did you find her?" As asks, a hint of hope in his tone.


    "Not yet, but we are getting close," Josie smiles, but it''s clear her smile holds a sadness.


    "We thought we''d just call in to say good morning," Luke says, going over to greet his parents.


    "When are you alling home?" Sammy asks.


    "Soon, I hope. What have you been up to?" I ask, changing the subject and keeping them distracted whilst Luke and Josie update Luke''s parents.


    Sammy and the twins talk excitedly, telling me about baking with grandma and swimming with their grandads. Apparently, they are visiting with their uncle today, which As and Joel seem less than thrilled about.


    After an hour, we say goodbye, porting straight to our next location on the map, which is a deserted fishing vige in China. We immediately rule the ce out as it seems a popr tourist attraction and not a ce where arge group of Greys would find any privacy.


    The next ce is an abandoned power nt in Japan. It''s very obvious from the undisturbed nt life inside that no one has been here for a long time.


    "Okay, let''s check one more before we go back for a break. need to eat lunch and rest a little, otherwise I''ll be too tired to keep porting," Luke says as he studies the map.


    "Do you guys think any of what Emma said was true?" Josie finally asks.


    Despite her silence, I know she has not stopped thinking about it since we left Emma''s ce. We hadn''t questioned her or even mentioned it, leaving her to think through it all on her own terms. I knew she would talk when she was ready. "It could be. Your mum was not exactly a reliable source back then. She could have confused the whole thing, especially if he tried topel her and it failed. Emma certainly gave enough of a usible version of the story question it. That doesn''t mean you have to though. If you want to forget the whole thing, then we will support you, just as we will support you if you want to go and see him," Luke says.


    "I agree, and you shouldn''t make this kind of decision now. What you do need to decide though, is if you want to see if he can help find Harper. If you don''t want to see him, then maybe we could go speak to him without you," I


    suggest.


    Josie nods and lets out a sigh of frustration, "I''ll think about it. I want to discuss it with the others first. Mason


    hes ially met him before. He might have a better look if he thinks it''s worth a viatt


    Seems like the best idea, just remember you are not alone in this, we are liere for you no matter what "Luite snifles at her. "Shall we move to the next site? I''m Interest in this UFO vige in Talwan. It hasn''t been searched yet but there is something about it that keeps draing me back to it on the map."


    "Yes, let''s go." Jeste nods.


    Luke ports us to the strangest ce I have ever been to In my life.


    "What the hell is this?" I ask as I look out at what I can only describe as a movie set.


    Large disc-shaped pods sit amongst greenery. It looks like spaceshipnding yard. With clusters of what must have been brightly coloured pods scattered everywhere. Still spots of yellow, pink and blue still remain, but the majority have turned grey or green with algae.


    "Oh, I''ve heard about this ce. It was supposed to be some futuristic resort, but they riever even opened it before they abandoned it, I watched it on some sltow about the world''s most haunted ces," Josie says as we make our way towards the nearest pod.


    "Haunted? As in ghosts?" I ask.


    "Yep: Not sacred are you?" Luke smirks.


    Of course not!" I lie.


    I swear that if there''s even a hint of a ghost I''ll be using my super speed to get the hell out of here. The living I can deal with, the dead are not. Unless it was Josie as


    a ghost, she''d make a hot ghost. Mace too, he''d pull off that dead look so well and we''d have hot ghost sex. Can ghosts even have sex?


    "Theo!" Josie shouts.


    "Huh?"


    "I said step back, you are standing on footprints," she says, and I look down at my feet.


    I take a step back and see the distinct, paw prints preserved perfectly in the dried mud.


    "Let''s take a look inside," Luke says, and we follow him up the rickety stairs into a yellow pod.


    "Woah, we need one of these in the garden. The kids would love this," I say as I look around in awe.


    The inside seems in much better condition than the outside Someone has most definitely been taking care of it in here. The curved sofa that hugs the round wall has clean cushions on it and the kitchen in the centre of the pod has clean cups on the side. The bedroom is just as clean and well-cared for. Someone has been living here, and very recently.


    When Luke reads the expiration date on some of the food in the kitchen cupboards, he pulls out his phone and


    calls Raff.
