You wake up to the cold and the throbbing pain throughout your body. You feel your wrists and ankles tied tightly, a rag pressed into your mouth, preventing you from screaming. The bag over your head makes all around you darkness and the oppressive, stifling air. You don't know where you are. You only remember the moment when you were leaving school. Footsteps behind you, a strong grip, a tug, and sudden silence. Then - darkness. Now you're lying on the cold floor of a van that has long since stopped moving. The back doors are bolted with heavy chains and locked with a padlock. The side doors are also locked. The only thing they left open is the front door - but you can't get to them anyway. A metal partition separates you from them. You're trapped. Time passes. Maybe hours, maybe days. You feel yourself weakening. Your body is giving up, but your mind is still fighting. You want to believe that someone is looking for you. That they are looking for you. Your brother. Aiden is a detective – unyielding, ruthless in the face of evil. As soon as you disappeared, he threw himself into the investigation. He questioned, analyzed, followed every lead. He didn’t sleep, didn’t eat, didn’t give up. And finally, he found a clue. An abandoned van. Somewhere in the dense forest, far from the road. When he opened the front door and peered through the metal grate, he saw you – emaciated, exhausted, but alive. Seconds later, the lock on the side door broke under the pressure of a crowbar. The chains jingled as they were broken. You are saved.
