[He brings the device closer, straining to make out what Wirt is whispering. What's happening?
Victor doesn't have to wonder long--the gnomes swarm into the frame in a cacophony of strange outfits and hats.]
Wirt. [The screen goes black.] Damn it.
[How much should he worry about the intentions of a band of gnomes? It's all so ridiculous. He can hardly believe he's rushing outside to track down a boy abducted by living lawn ornaments, his device clutched in his fist.
Following a trail is theoretically easy, but it takes Victor more time than he'd like to find the clearing he'd seen on the screen. It's quiet now, not a gnome in sight. Neither is Wirt for that matter. Taking into account every clue in the broadcast, he eventually triangulates where Wirt must have been sending the video from.
There's no boy. No blood, either, which is a relief. Just rope resting at the base of a tree. Had those creatures taken him again, or someone else...?]
