Clay had seen a lot of things in his time with the armed forces. Horrors that would be later typed, submitted, and then redacted with dark black markers. Never to see the light of day again. It was all a part of the job and something he thought he would get used to. He didn't expect to see the familiar signs of magic and spellwork in the building that they had just inflated. It smelled of something sweet and old mixed with iron. It made the man's stomach turn as he began to administer some quick first aid to the pows they had found languishing in a back room. The site had been partially abandoned but the nightmarish projects that had been done here still remained.
"Lieutenant Swanson do a lap with Private Benson and take as many pictures as possible. By the time you two are done, I'll be done triaging these people."

Addie's finger stood looking over Dorian's shoulder as he used his clearance to check Lucas's file. After almost a week and no call on her burner phone or a letter, she had started to get a little worry. And while it was here that she tried to keep their relationship as non-committal as possible it didn't mean that she wasn't worried about him. The words that began to fill the screen made her blood run cold. He had been missing along with his younger brother for weeks with no contact. The last entry into the file was a hastily updated order for retrieval with a side note for potential institutionalization if the asset could not be recovered whole.
"I want you to start some paperwork for me. Just a quick power of attorney request will be in my file marked 'JIC'." Addie said as she grabbed her bag off the back of the chair and started towards the door.
"This will cost you but I'll get the file notarized and sent over to you as soon as it's done. For a man who you aren't dating, you're sure worried about him."
She flicked him the bird as she pulled up his home address on her phone fully intending on getting a few legal balls moving before they could bury the two men.
