Gone. It's like a horrible reversal of when Regan had stumbled into the fresh grief that permeated the cottage. For a moment, Greta worries that the meaning is the same: the Darrow decided to send Saoirse home and make their separation not just upsetting, but permanent, and she makes a sound she’s glad Regan can’t hear.
But Regan's still signing. It's a little hard to follow with the way her hands are shaking, but Greta understands 'took' clearly enough. She's been taken. Again. It's not exactly a relief, but there's a familiarity to it all that makes it feel a little more survivable.
She will simply have to find who took her and bloody well take her back.
But she still has questions. The cottage has a few small wards on it -- first placed by her departed employers, and then replaced by Magnus. No one should have been able to break in and kidnap anyone; it's one of the biggest reasons she hasn't already tried to bully her way through the snow.

"How?" she signs. "You were safe at home."
