Chapter 1
November 13, 1983 2:00 a.m.

This case had been one of the hardest things he had been involved in. He remember back when he had to deliver the news. It was always him, ready to say the bad news, ready to make people cry when he spoke. When he would utter that word. "Missing." Except in this case that word had not work.
How would he explain to her now? Every day she went to the station and ask for him. If there were any traces of her son?
How was he to tell her that the investigation was closed. How would he begin?
Your son was taken away and no traces have been found. If the kids stories were to be believed. Some angel who flew from the sky. Or that crazy story that had caused Chief Karin her job. He remember that day when she told her theory to the investigators.
"A vampire...."
He was there in the room. He could not look at her. He could not even defend her. Take her side.
"Is the only think that makes sense..."
Then the whole police department laughing behind her back.
Now though he was starting to believe her theory. But the case was closed. And yet he remember that fight between Officer Martin and Chief Karin. Those words....
"Why did you let them go!"
"It was not them!"
"And all because...you think that they brought you love!"

He wonder what Officer Martin and Chief Karin were hiding. Maybe it was worth looking one last time at the file.....

He was bitter, he was still full of hate. Hate for what she had done. He was closed to getting the person that had killed his friend. And now the case was closed. No, he couldn't let go. He would find them.
"I will make them pay..."
