Willow was already digging through her bag for her phone as Max asked what she was looking for. "Any signs of a struggle. Winter's power is, unsurprisingly, to do with ice, so look for any unexplained puddles of water where the ice melted." She pressed call on Winter's number and put the phone to her ear. It rang out, but Willow couldn't hear it ringing anywhere in the apartment. Which was a start. Assuming that Winter did in fact have it on him and didn't just have it on silent, it could potentially be used to track him. It went to his answering machine, and she hung up.
The door had still been locked. Which, presumably, meant that Winter hadn't been home at all. But Winter was also a big, strong guy, and not an idiot. He would have walked home on well lit routes where he knew there would be people around. And someone like him getting in a fight would have been noticed. So. He would have had to have been intercepted in the apartment building itself. His neighbours wouldn't have had a problem with buzzing in an unfamiliar guy, especially if he said he was a friend of Winter's. So she needed to try and get to the security office. Getting Winter out would have been difficult, though. Carrying him out would have been too conspicuous.
"There's..." She swallowed. "There's a chance that they left him here. Getting someone like Winter out wouldn't have been an easy thing to do. Either that, or they somehow got him to leave of his own accord. Blackmailed him or something." She looked over at Max. "Shit, I should have brought gloves for you, shouldn't I? Sorry, not used to having to look after somebody else as well. Just... start checking the other rooms. Yell if... if you find anything."
