On the one hand, Viola felt a bit sorry for werewolves in general because, well, what a terrible thing to happen to someone! Vi couldn't even begin to imagine. And she supposed she felt sorry for Miss Urquart in particular, if only because she couldn't imagine what it must be like to lose one's entire family, or to be all alone in the world.
That said, pity for another person's plight only extended so far. Werewolves, pitiable though they may be, were still dangerous and unpredictable. So, in response to Charley's question, Vi said, "Unfortunately, it seems that the Werewolf Capture Unit has had no success in finding the missing Miss Urquart, and at this point, I think it'd be right to say that she could be anywhere." Viola pursed her lips, her expression clearly unhappy. "If you ask me, the fact that she's been missing for months means she's very cunning." Or, conversely, that unit was completely incompetent in what was apparently its one and only job.
