We took a pair of Jeeps back to where we'd tracked the thing. I checked the ground with the camera, but it hadn't been back. I felt my shoulders drop as I scanned the surrounding area. I hadn't realised how much I'd invested in finding the thing. I've been focused on it since we came to the new station, and losing the trail now is terrible. I wonder whether it knows we followed it here; if it does, will it come back?

I'll return tomorrow and check again.

I think I've lost it.
