"ROSE!" calls Alicia, going inside and checking that the house is clear. "We need to talk to my other colleague. He'll be able to help, and he won't think we're crazy. Let me call the police station and see if they know where he's gone. Keep an eye on the letters, in case your son or Rose tries to communicate with us."

"Ok, but I don't have a phone, it burned the first time that Will tried to talk to me."

[Mr. Handy]

"Then let's go to the police station," says Alicia. "It's not safe for you to stay here any more. If Rose was taken too, there's at least a silver lining that she can find and look after your son."

[kabukiman]

"Ok, let's go then."

[Mr. Handy]

"Be careful what you say to the police," says Alicia. "We don't want them thinking we're crazy. Don't lie, but we don't have to tell them all the details." She gets behind the wheel of the car and waits for Joyce to get in before driving to the police station.
