Edward's POV:
He's gone missing, Thomas has gone missing. Vanished without a trace, well... he would have if someone hadn't spotted him. I think I need to explain what has been going on before I elaborate on what happened last night. My name is Edward, the number 2 engine on the North Western Railway. I live on an island off the coast of England known as The Island of Sodor. But I think you know that already, so I'll cut to the chase.
Recently, the North Western Railway has been having more cargo smuggled onto our goods trains bound for the docks. Smuggled goods are nothing new, but it seems like trucks and vans are constantly being tampered with to hold certain cargo almost every day now. We had to get more security on our goods trains, but it seems like the smugglers have been working hard to make sure these goods leave Sodor. All of this has caused one of my fellow engines, the number 12 engine Emily, to get very pensive, as if she knows something the others don't know. This smuggled goods thing all came to a head yesterday when Thomas took a goods train to Brendam. He overheard some people talking about something called "Vengestone" and a buyer. Thomas didn't say more, but it was clear something was about to happen. When we woke up this morning, Thomas's berth in the sheds was empty. At first, we assumed that he started work early, but the station master at Tidmouth said that Thomas never came. We were all confused about Thomas's whereabouts until BoCo told our newest engine, Rebecca, that he saw Thomas go down the Brendam branch, light engine last night. BoCo hasn't seen him since.
