Chapter 1 - The Missing Boy

Kidnappings and people going missing were situations that felt so far away from Miles. It felt like things that only happened in movies or in another more messed up world. It felt too beyond reach that the possibility that someone so close to him could just disappear was minuscule. But as unlikely and otherworldly it may have seemed to Miles, it happened. Axel was gone.

4 years ago Miles' neighbour went missing. The abduction shocked the town and Miles never thought he would ever see his neighbour again. But one day, there he is. The missing boy, gone for 4 years, is back. And he's sitting on the front door step across the road from Miles' home, smoking a cigarette.
