"The people of Cresthill are disappearing without any trace. One day they're there, and the next thing, they're not."
"And no one's been able to discover what's going on with it?"
"Not quite. We do have one thing to go off of, which is why we're assigning you on this mission."
Muller continued, "The disappearances began happening at around the same time as the Blackmount incident. Which leads us to suspect that they were related to it in some way."
"How close were the incidents to each other?"
"Just about a day before the Zatanians were first caught in Blackmount by your father."
He frowned. That was most definitely an unfortunate coincidence if it was. No one knew that he was also there when Zale had killed Hawk's companion. If he just went based on what Muller told him, it would imply that the incident at Cresthill was caused by the Zatanians on their way to Blackmount.
"Interesting is it not?" Muller laughed grimly.
"It is."
