No answer comes from inside the car. The door has moss and mildew growing on it, like it has been open for sometime and through a few storms.

Similarly pocketing his keys, Magnus makes his way to the vehicle and opens the glove box. Once opened, he rifles through for identification, weapons or anything of use or value.

Larry stands a few feet from the car while Dutch searches it. He lights a cigarette and asks, You find anything in there, Dutch? He walks to the back of the car and tries to open the trunk. See if you can find a release for the trunk, Larry shouts up to the others inspecting the cab of the car.

Barry walks carefully over to the car, examining the ground to make sure he doesn't spoil any impressions on the earth with his footsteps. He drops to a squat and inspects the area around the vehicle, looking for footprints, wheel tracks, broken twigs, disturbed plants etc – anything that might indicate a trail.

Howard kneels down to inspect the tires, looking to determine why they have gone flat.

The car looks like it was ransacked. Papers thrown about, tears or claw marks in the seats and the steering wheel appears to have been broken off. The papers don't seem to be important, you find the registration and it is the professors vehicle.
Any tracks have long been covered.
The tires have been slashed, either with a knife or something sharp.

"Best I can tell, nobody's been here recently. That means if it is Whitmer's car – unfounded assumption, Professor, I know," Barry says, anticipating Professor Mellon. "If it is Whitmer's car, he survived whatever happened here, given we heard him on the radio yesterday. Even so, I think we should be extra careful. Whatever happened to that car wasn't bloody friendly."
For no reason at all, the tales the Alawa children had told him of the Burgingin, the impossibly strong warrior pygmies, who lurked in the bush, and for fear of whom no Alawa ever hunted without a partner to watch his back, leapt into his mind. "And I think we should stick together, pairs at least, always. I don't think it's safe out here." He smiled ruefully. Homesick for the old station? You couldn't wait to get away from the place, he thought to himself. I guess you can take the boy out of the Territory...

Marv shakes his head. "Well, it doesn't look like the professor went anywhere for a long time. I'm going to take a look at the road ahead and see if the cars can make it."
OOC:
Does it look like the professor's car was parked here and then vandalized? Or did it veer off the side of the road and then left there?

Magnus walks behind the abandoned vehicle and looks for signs of wheel ruts behind the tires and then up on the shoulder of the road.

The road ended here in a grassy area, like a parking spot. The vehicle looks to have been parked here. A path leads off from the car into the woods.

"All right, people!" Marv exclaims, clapping his hands together. "The road ends here. We've got to walk the rest of the way." He moves to his vehicle, pulling out his equipment, including his pistol.

"Righto, let's get moving," Barry says and fetches his backpack from the car. He takes out his machette, prepared to clear the trail if necessary.

OOC:
Marv will take point if no one else moves ahead of him. I'm not trying to steal the spotlight, but Marv is a personality that likes to lead. If someone else wants to lead, let's have them butt heads! :)Mar 2, 2018 10:13 am
OOC:
Magnus likes to butt heads. Leadership is risky though. The nail that puts its head up gets pounded. Besides, Magnus has no machete. ;)Mar 2, 2018 11:29 pm
Larry takes up the rear. As everyone starts down the trail, you hear a rustle of the plants and trees and notice that Larry is nowhere to be seen.

Howard inquisitively calls out Larry's name and cautiously approaches the spot where Larry disappeared, looking for any sign of where he might have gone.

"Shit!" Barry exclaims under his breath. "What happened?" he asks Mellon, peering into the vegetation.

Marv walks back to where Barry is searching for Larry. "Where did he go? Did you say anything to him?" he asks. Turning around, he starts calling out Larry's name as well. "Larry? Larry! Come on, we don't have time to mess around!"
