North's house

I have arrived in North's town and located his house. I found it surrounded by woods and suffering from neglect. I found the front door unlocked and entered with caution. The first room I entered was a living room. It was abandoned, but there was blood stains on the floor, making it sticky and leaving a caustic smell behind. I moved to the kitchen next, but there were no signs that anyone had been there. The refrigerator was empty as well, no doubt its contents had already been consumed by North. Upstairs I found several bedrooms, but they too contained no sign of North, nor any other life.
I find this all concerning. I am here, but I am still unable to locate North. It is possible that he has left or been removed since his posts. However I have found very little indicating that he has left, or was ever here. If he truly is trapped in some kind of loop or other realm I have no idea how to free him. I will try to find more information, but if I can find no more information on North I will be forced to abandon him. I must find someone who knows how to deal with this.

Going to help

North is in trouble. I have decided to try to help him. I have found no new leads in New York and heard nothing from my contacts about Jacob. I have decided he is capable of protecting himself for now. I have trained him to be as self-sufficient as possible. At the very least I am incapable of doing anything further to help Jacob right now. However I may be able to provide North with assistance. I believe I may have located his town. I will be heading there as soon as I have prepared for whatever I may encounter. North if you see this try to hold  on until I arrive.

Moving On

I have searched most of Chicago by now. I spent a great deal of time, money, and most valuable: favors to insure that Joshua truly has left. Part of me feels foolish for wasting so much time here. But I had to be sure he really was gone. I could not allow myself to continue on while the possibility of him being here remained. I also made sure that if he returns I would be informed. Setting up a reliable network often takes years, however. I was forced to make this one in a much shorter time frame. I can only hope that Joshua is not yet skilled enough to exploit those weaknesses and return without my knowledge.
I have not looked at the blogs recently. I should look there for any possible evidence of where Joshua may have been seen, or may be inclined to go. I will perform this task tonight. While looking I will endeavor to help those I can with what I know. It is always beneficial to form bonds with those who may help you. It also appears that many may truly need the advice. I apologize for not keeping this blog updated. I am not used to this format, but I realize it may be necessary to find my apprentice. I am very grateful to those of you who have offered help and support.
Soon I will be traveling to New York. Joshua has not left behind much of a trail, but New York is a good place to go if you are trying to avoid someone. There are also several prominent bloggers in that area. It makes sense to continue my search for Joshua is such a well known area.
