Aalia - that’s my source’s name, so far as I can gather.

She’s a girl, probably my age, maybe a bit younger.

We drove to meet her and ended up watching her run away across the fields, before we got a chance to speak to her. One of the scariest moments of my life, and cast-iron proof that somebody wants me to stop asking awkward questions.

The one person who was trying to give me answers - Aalia Nazim, according to the name in the notebook we picked out of the mud - is now refusing to get in touch. And I have no way to find her.

Aalia: if you’re reading this, please get in touch however you can, if only to let us know that you are safe. And we’re already looking for Jim Malham, but it’s not much to go on.

Thanks for the video, Fluffy.
