"Please save my son, please, I beg you!" the woman implored the policeman, howling. "Ma'am please stop crying, we will file your complaint, please give me his details." "My daughter is missing since 4 days now and you are still not able to find any trace of her!" said an angry voice near one of the desk in the corner of the room. There was such a chaos, and voices of parents crying ceaselessly that the officer at last had to leave his cabin and come out where the media was already waiting for the chance to ask him questions. The view was disheartening parents had gathered around for filing the missing complaints of their children while some accusing the police of taking no efforts to find them. On seeing the officer, the reporters immediately circled around him and asked several questions. Few policemen who were filing complaints left their work and beckoned the reporters to move out of the station. "No, we won't go till we get the answers to our questions", some of the reporters were shouting. Finally the officer spoke loudly,"Silence please, we are aware of the seriousness of these cases and are trying our best to find the culprit. But in this long run, we will be needing immense support from you all. We haven't got any concrete evidence regarding these cases yet. As soon as we find any, we will apprise you." Saying so he appealed all the people to empty the police station as it was making it difficult to work out the case with such chaos.
Slowly the mob cleared out and one of the junior officer came running up to him, "Sir, I have checked all the CCTV footages near those victims' area but alm of them had been smashed."
"This is impossible, th-", suddenly a Mercedes-Benz pulled down near the gate and out came a pretty lady, in a peach coloured gown and a man, dressed tidily in suit and trousers dashing towards entrance. The officers immediately recognized them, they were the Robinsons, one of the wealthiest family owning a multi-billion dollar architectural firm, not just in New York but in the whole US. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson hurried towards them weeping, "Officer Robert Smith, help us, my 11 year old daughter, Anna, is missing since morning. We don't know where she is." She took a pause to breath in some air and then continued. "I made her sleep myself yesterday night in her bedroom and then went to sleep in our room. Today, when I came to wake her up, she wasn't there. We told all our workers and bodyguards to search the entire house and even the garden and garage area looking for her but she wasn't there. Please find her officer, please.". The woman collapsed in a chair nearby and was moaning relentlessly while her husband who was also sobbing, tried to provide her comfort. "We had a tight security officer, guarding our mansion since few days due to rise in the kidnapping cases in New York city. But we don't understand how she disappeared. After we looked for her in the whole mansion, we returned to her room in dismay and found this paper on her bed which had been overlooked by us previously." He drew out a folded and crumbled paper and gave it to Robert. On it were the words written ' YOU WILL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN'. "We took all care to protect her then too we faced such a tragic event." Mrs. Robinson cried. Robert was actually startled on hearing that despite of the compact security, the abductor was able to enter the mansion.
He gave the paper to his junior and told him to give it to the forensic lab for checking fingerprints which he was quite sure, would not be present. All those whose had filled missing complaints of their children had found similar paper at their home. The officer, Robert Smith, suggested them to go home and rest for a while and assured that the police will bring back their daughter along with the other children. "This case is getting way more complicated day by day and we still haven't found a solid clue, Davis.", said Robert to his junior, Jack Davis when the Robinsons had gone. But alas! Little did they all know that this- was just- THE BEGINNING.
