Bam had not been seen in Stormwind for some time, and it worried Anna. The attempts to send a letter through her owl were fruitless, as Zephyr only came back to her with the same letter sent. The short walks under disguise through the streets of Orgrimmar harbored little to nothing, even Zam's flat (whose key Anna was given) was empty.
There was some comfort however: the white Medical Kit was gone, which meant the Medic was out on field duty. Anna walked through the empty flat, trying to find a hint as to Zam's whereabouts. Her search was futile, and with a sigh the warlock sat back on the bed which they had shared many passionate nights with.
It was only then that she noticed the brilliant red rose, resting on top of a pillow. Underneath the rose was a letter. It was written in Gutterspeak, printed rather, as if it had been mass produced. Zam had spent some time teaching Anna some simple Gutterspeak. Translated roughly, it simply said.
"All units are to report to Outland until further notice."
At the bottom of the letter, which was signed with the sigil of the Dark Lady, was a sentence, hand written in common.
"Will return. Be well. -Zam"
Anna held the letter in her hand, rereading it several times, then let it loose upon the bed, gazing at it forlornly. She leaned back on the soft mattress, her hair spreading about her head like a claret halo. Somehow, of all things, Jakkol's words floated into her mind as she ran her fingers tenderly over the delicate petals of the rose.
"Fool."
