Caleb pushed the door of 'The Old George', but it wouldn't budge; it was locked. He tried to peer through the windows, but huge sheets of fabric hung from the inside of the building, blocking his view. He stepped back and observed the building, pursing his lips. There was a pile of bricks on the roof that looked to form some sort of hole that he assumed delved right into the building, but he had no way of climbing up there. 

Sighing to himself, Caleb jogged back to the building that Koda and Toki were exploring. He nudged the large door open and peered into the darkness. Straw was scattered around the ground and every ledge within the building. Caleb entered the building completely, looking for the two men. He dared to whisper the hunters's names, but heard no reply. The building was empty. He emerged further into the building, searching every ledge and every nook, but it was useless. The pair were gone.

Caleb stormed out of the building, having come to only one conclusion: they had been kidnapped. Both of them knew better than to wander off without telling him. If the inhabitants of the civilisation had them, that meant they would look for others. Caleb and all of the hunters were in danger. Caleb broke into a sprint, trying to remain as light-footed as possible, and began to search his surroundings for the other hunters and instruct them to leave. Caleb's mission was soon side-tracked as he found himself skidding to a halt in front of an enormous, white building. A building with a big, black door. 

Caleb's conscience scolded him; who knew how many buildings had big, black doors in this damned place? How could he be so sure this was the right one? Assuming that Grace's dream even meant anything to begin with. But Caleb began to move towards the building regardless. He touched the cool wood of the door and, inhaling a large, shaky breath, he pushed it open.
