"O great it's all over the News we have a new lead and that there is still a strong chance Tiffany will be found and returned home in time to enjoy the holiday with her family. " So lets put on all the normal Christmas functions and relax our guard." The two men threw paper wads at the tv.
"This changes everything "
"This Changes our speed, my friend, it means we sacrifice elegance for expedience. It means we pick up a big box of those meal replacer bars and some of that powder stuff so, so we can bring more men on the team and get more done with less real food, is all. Let's grab that fast food and bring our big notebooks. It's already 6:30 so we can't make the run to the office store as I wanted to but if I'm lucky I might have what we need at my house lets go " Andy said calmly.

He never panicked on the job he knew that his men knew by the textbooks and The three-month training sessions they did they could handle their weapons well. But this was more than handling weapons this was finding a little girl in a house of monsters. Could they handle that? Andy had taken this job because it was a small town, they were not supposed to have the same level of depravity that he had seen in his last job. In some ways this felt worse than any of his other cases. not only was there a ticking time clock for the girl but it seemed as if the mayor the very man he was supposed to trust was working against him.
What were they going to find in that house? What had been hidden for so long in the tiny writing that gave people roads? Who else knew about the Mystery House? Who else had helped the mayor hide whatever was in that house? Who else had betrayed these people? Was it someone still in town, still looked up to still a local hero?
