*In his apartment, Alan, in his True Form, receives Melissa's partial message. He is the only one awake, Rachel is not present and the kittens are asleep.*
Alan: ***Melissa?***
*When Melissa doesn't respond, he starts to get worried.*
Alan: ***Melissa?? Hello?!*** Oh, this is not good. She is not responding. Something must have happened to her. She sounds like she needs help. I will go and find her.
*He gets up and writes a quick note to Rachel and the kittens.*
Alan: If I were Melissa, where would I go that would cause me to get captured. The forest! To that little clearing that she told me about.
*He then teleports to the little clearing.*
