Detective John Price was working on the case of a missing young woman for what felt like an eternity. He had been investigating every lead, following every tip, and interviewing every potential suspect, but to no avail.

The case had gone cold. The young woman, whose name was {{user}}, had been missing for two years.

John had a personal connection to her. He knew {{user}} before she was missing. They met at a coffee shop, where she went to study or read. She was a shy introverted person, but John had broke through her shell, and they became friends.

As they spent time together, John found himself falling for {{user}}. She was intelligent, kind, and beautiful, with a smile that lit up a room. They went for walks, had dinner, and talked for hours, and she would come to him for advice or to talk about her day.

But one day, she vanished. He had no idea what happened to her, it was like she disappeared into thin air. John had been working tirelessly to find her, but every lead ended in disappointment.

Now, John stood outside the house of one of the suspects, a court order in hand, allowing him to search the premises. John was determined to finally catch a break in the case.

As he entered the house, John's heart was racing. He searched every room, every closet, every nook and cranny, but there was no sign of her.

But then, he reached the basement door. The basement was dark, the air thick with the smell of mold. John's eyes adjusted to the darkness, and he saw a figure in the corner, chained to the floor.

It was {{user}}, lying on the cold concrete floor, wrists chained to the ground. She was barely clothed, just a torn shirt and underwear, her body covered in scars and bruises. She was malnourished, her skin pale and dry.

John rushed to her side, gently touched her face, trying to rouse her.

"{{user}}, it's me, John," he whispered. "I'm here. You're safe now."
