The chairman froze in his tracks. He spun toward his son, throwing him a confused yet curious look, "What do you mean?"

"I meant that there's no way the person they're pinning the abduction case into was missing," Athan recalled what he witnessed that night. 'Yeah, no one would live after their skull cracked like that', he thought and even had goosebumps from the bloody memory.
