"Fiona was missing," Althea said to herself. That was their conclusion after a series of inquiries among the scattered group of survivors. Anxiety tightened her chest as she mulled over the possibilities.
Tim, overhearing Althea's distress, approached her with a concerned expression. "Hey, what's going on?"
Althea sighed, then explained, "Fiona. She's gone. I can't find her anywhere."
A worried frown creased Tim's forehead. "We can't afford to lose more people. Let me get Tiana. She's good at organizing search parties."
Althea nodded gratefully as Tim hurried off to find his sister. Moments later, Tiana joined Althea, her face a mix of concern and determination.
"What happened?" Tiana asked.
"Fiona's missing," Althea replied. "I don't know where she went. We need to find her."
Tiana nodded, her eyes scanning the area. "Tim and I will organize a search party. We'll cover as much ground as we can. You stay here; we'll find her."
