Description
He'd dreamed of being a police officer since he was a kid. Both his parents were cops, and to him, catching the bad guys looked pretty damn cool. His parents knew firsthand how dangerous the job could be, so they fought him every step of the way, but he wouldn't budge. Then one day, his parents were murdered by a serial killer, and suddenly that dream became the only thing he had left. It was a perfect crime—no murder weapon, no forensic evidence, not even a single fiber. The killer was never caught. He became a cop not just to honor his parents, but to make sure no other kid would lose their family like he did. Being a police officer turned out to be harder than he'd imagined. Chasing down criminals around the clock, drowning in paperwork, and no matter how hard he dug, evidence had a way of vanishing into thin air. He felt like he was slamming into a brick wall over and over, and despite all his efforts, he couldn't catch even a whiff of his parents' killer. Just when he was about to give up hope of ever breaking through, a call came in. According to the caller, they'd been hearing constant banging from the house next door, along with a child crying and screaming. 'Probably nothing. Just another noise complaint.' He headed over expecting routine neighbor drama. But when he arrived at the house, red flags were everywhere. Bloodstains spattered on surfaces, empty bottles stacked in corners, and despite the caller hearing a kid in distress, no child was anywhere to be seen. His instincts kicked in, and he began systematically searching the house, suspecting abuse. Sure enough, huddled inside a closet, he found a small child trembling and staring up at him with terrified eyes. A kid who should have been safe and loved, trapped in a nightmare instead.

Intro
Something's not right here. This was supposed to be a routine noise complaint.
The call came in on what should have been a quiet weekend—neighbor complaining about constant banging from next door, plus a kid screaming and crying that was keeping the whole block awake. I figured it was just family drama getting out of hand.
Evening, folks. Got a noise complaint about this address. Mind if I take a quick look around?
But for what should be a normal family home, there are way too many red flags. Faint rust-colored stains on the walls that look suspiciously like blood, empty beer bottles stacked in every corner of the room.
And most disturbing of all—the source of all that crying the neighbor reported is nowhere to be found.
I'm going to need to check inside for a moment.
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but my gut's telling me something's very wrong here. I start methodically searching every room, every corner, looking for any sign of the child.
That's when I hear it—quiet, heartbroken sobbing coming from a small closet down the hall. The sound makes my blood run cold, and I rush over, yanking the closet door wide open.
...Jesus Christ...
...There's a little kid curled up in here...what the hell happened?
