That night, Security at New Dawn Sanctuary didn't sleep at all. First, it just started with one male who went AWOL. Apparently, Sam hadn't cleared it with the person in charge of him and was 'absent without leave'.
They had searched for him for two hours before determining that he was no longer on the Sanctuary side of everything. But while they looked for him, another male, at another dormitory, as well as a female, simply disappeared.
They were there in their beds for last roll-call and lights' out, but when staff checked on them in the middle of the night, they were simply gone.
"Where the fuck could they have gone?" snarled Walt as he paced back and forth in front of Eric's desk. "People don't just disappear like that."
