@everyonehere is the map of the locations and dates (some are guesses) where Wonders have gone missing over the last 40 years.
I’ve color-coded the map so you can see where I think the perpetrators settled on a base of operations and then the attacks happened in a radius of 200-300 miles from that point over several weeks. This strategy keeps their base undetected, and the victims are far enough apart that the local authorities and the DMs never figure it out. After each grouping of 5-12 victims, the perpetrators go dormant for about 10 years.
Before they hit Texas, the last group of victims was 9 years ago in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas.
As far as I can tell, the two recent victims in the Central District are the first in Texas. Based on their history, this means they’ll try to attack again and soon. And it could be in the Central District, or they could show up somewhere else.
@wondersplease do not go anywhere alone. Also, see Greg’s post about the next victim probably being attacked in a Build Barnparking lot. Please avoid those stores and their parking lots, even in the daytime. The perpetrators could be scouting them and notice you.
CHAPTER 24

My third interviewappointment for the front desk opening didn’t show up, so I was able to finish everything I needed to get done a little after 4:30pm. I changed clothes in my office and texted Cal to ask if it was okay if I picked him up a little early. We could always have a drink in the bar while we waited for our reservation time. Plus I’d been dying to ask him about the map of fog monster victims he’d posted this morning.
My phone chimed, then chimed again before I could pull it out of my pocket.

My blood went cold. I couldn’t feel anything through our connection. I hit theCallbutton and left the office at a run.
The call connected as I exited the lobby doors, but no one said anything.
“Cal? Cal, are you okay?” I got in the SUV and shut the door. I could hear breathing on the other end. Was he conscious?
Fuck, it’d take me twenty minutes to get to his place. I briefly considered sending an ambulance, but odds were this was not a traditional medical emergency.
Felix or Steve must have a key. And Felix and Malcolm lived five minutes from Cal’s apartment.
“Cal, I’m on my way but I’m twenty minutes out. I’m going to hang up and call Felix to see if he has a key and can check on you.”
I heard what sounded like an animal making a chuffing sound. A shifter? “Wait, are you Cal? Make one sound for yes and two for no.”
Two sounds came over the phone. Fuck, who the hell was at Cal’s place?
“Is Cal injured?”
The shifter made a weird sort of whine. Not sure, maybe?
“Is he conscious?”
Two chuffing sounds. Fuck.
“Wait, so you were the one who texted me back?”
