From MUTATIONMarty walked over to the closest hut. It was obvious that it was being used by Grace and Ana. Ana's laptop sat on a crude desk made from a split log. Her last journal entry was on the screen:It feels as if we're getting picked off one by one. Now Luther is gone... We don't know if he wandered away from camp or was taken. Buck and I are going to go out looking for him. Grace is going to stay in camp and feed the hatchlings, which have just woken up.That meant that Ana and Buck had been gone for several hours, and Luther a lot longer than that.The thought hit Marty like a punch in the gut: Where's Grace?
