There was one official stood waiting for Kothar's return; they really should know him better by now. He looked around the portal room as if surprised.
"Where is everyone?" He demanded
"They've had to attend an emergency meeting; I've been assigned to lead you there"
Kothar walked up to the official as if complying and the young man made the mistake of turning his back to Kothar. Moving quickly Kothar wrapped his arms around the man's neck in a sleeper hold move and applied enough pressure to render him unconcious. Kothar moved the official to a chair then started reprogramming the portal for Jessica's world. He would have locked the door to the portal room but he figured that he had ample time.
"Hang on just a little longer Jessica. I'm coming for you"
Kothar leapt up onto the platform and through the portal.

Jacob shifted into his wolf form, and began to sniff around the street. After a few minutes he shifted back.
"Well, there's been a lot of people through here, with various powers, so picking one out of the mass is difficult, but, from what I can gather, there's about thre..." He was cut off by the sound of the portal roaring into life again.

Kothar landed on the other side of the portal; his boots hitting the concrete hard. He grinned at the questers still stood around.
"Now now children. We have a life to save; no use in hanging around here"

Jessica put the last spoonful of the repulsive grey food into her mouth and chewed. It was a painstakingly slow process. Her jaw ached from having to eat it all. She swallowed, eventually, and glared at the camera. "That's better." said the voice "Now, stand up." "I'm chained to the wall." "Stand up, Jessie!" The collar shocked her again. Wincing through the pain, Jessica stood up, back against the wall, arms held down by the chains on her wrists. "Good. Now, stand up straight." "Why?" "Don't make me shock you, Jessie!" Jessica glared and stood up as straight as she could, chains allowing. "Hmm... Not bad, not bad..." The voice seemed to approve. Something about that was disgusting. "You can sit down again." "I'd rather stand." That was a lie. She just didn't want to do what she was told. "If you won't sit, Jessie, I'll make you kneel." That was definitely a warning. Jessica stayed where she was. Standing. Defiant. Stupid. "Have it your way." The collar shocked her again. It was worse this time. Jessica screamed in pain and fell to her knees, clutching at the collar around her neck. "That's better, Jessie." The pain was too intense. She was losing focus. After another few seconds, Jessica blacked out.

"Or we could find a solid lead before rushing off in a general direction." Jacob said to the newcomer.
"Now, as I was saying, there are about three strong possibilities, two to the south, and one North-Northeast." He said, turning back to Cynthia and Kothar. "I can't narrow it down any further than that until we actually leave town and get a cleaner scent trail. And even then, I have to warn you, tracking isn't my forte, I can't guarantee that any of these three are her. They're just the most likely..."

"Or you could ask someone who knows her rather well about the best places to find her or at least start looking for clues" Kothar pointed out
Kothar ruffled Cynthia's hair and smiled warmly down at her.
"I'm glad you're here kid"
Virgil coughed and looked at Kothar
"Exactly how do you know what information we need? I am assuming this 'someone' you referred to is you"
Kothar smiled at Virgil
"Yes indeed I am. Well done you, have 10 points for being clever. Were you given locations to start your searches?"
Virgil handed over the piece of paper with the two adresses on.
"Ah yes; Frank's home address and where he works; it's good that they wrote on which address is which. Jessica never really told me much about this world aside from a few stories. I've done some other research in my free time just in case I ever needed to rescue her; not that she would have ever asked me for it. Anyway from what I know both of these locations are to the South so they are the ones your friend here" Kothar gestured at Jacob "Was talking about. I suggest you take those two while I head to the North-Northeast location"

Jacob looked at the newcomer. "You going to be fine by yourself?"

Kothar let a wicked grin spread across his face, it was the kind that a predatory animal would have before it delivered the final killing strike to its wounded prey.
"Oh don't worry I'll be fine going by myself. I have supplies and equipment with me plus currency to buy anything else that I need if this quest takes too long"

"Understood." Jacob said, turning to face the south side of the street. "Let's get moving."

Kothar handed the adresses back to Virgil.
"The people behind the abductions are well financed, organised and have a cold merciless streak that means they don't care about killing innocents or taking more hostages. Stick together at all times, watch each other's backs and take care; they likely have people waiting at both locations for somebody to start sticking their noses in where they shouldn't be"
