Gramps found Abby in the kitchen. "We've got to go now. Right now. Let's go." 

     "That bad?"

     "Worse. Within the hour, this compound will no longer even exist." 

     "Now where are we supposed to go?" Abby asked.  

     "I think we might..." 

     "We've got a problem," Kathy said from the hallway.

     Both Gramps and Abby looked at her, waited for her to go on.

     "She's gone," Kathy said. "I just went to talk to Alison, and she's gone. I don't think she even completely took off her coat.​ "
