A little town known as Clearwater always had an awfully small population. It was the kind of town where everyone knew everyone. It has its pros and cons, but the worst part (or best if you're nosy) is that everyone knows when a crime occurs. So when kids begin to go missing all over town, heads begin to turn. It started with random kids, no younger than 16, disappearing. In the beginning, it was chalked up to bad luck, or runaways. Until the kids of government workers begin to turn up missing. First it was the deputy's son, then the daughter and son of the mayor. A few weeks later the head of forensics turns in a missing persons report for their son. Another week and the daughter of the swat team leader is gone. Many other kids disappear in between, kids of the bomb squad, scientology, even the son of the coroner. All disappear with no trace. This case becomes the most important quickly. However, things get more personal when the sheriff's daughter and lead detective's son are gone from their bedrooms one night. It is up to the parents to figure out who is taking their children away from them, and put them behind bars before it is too late to save their sons and daughters from the fate of death.

Gangs. A girl. War. Fights. Love. Hate. Death. All words to describe the city of Athens. The most dangerous city in the country. But only those who have been there know that. Athens is not a place for tourism. Not many people who visit, make it out alive. Vicki, 16, has finally found a home willing to adopt her after 6 years of jumping from home to home, family to family, foster to foster. Some were good. Some bad. Some could, would, and did the unthinkable. But now she didnt have to deal with that. But she had no idea of the secrets that the friendly "welcome to Athens" sign hides. Or did she? She wasn't ever supposed to end up in the system. Or end up on her meds. She remembered nothing of her life before 10 years old. She had always knew something was missing, but this? This was more than she could ever handle remembering. **** "Wow, I thought it was just you guys and Artemis." "There's a whole world of gangs. There are gangs in every country, some even I don't know as a leader." "Is it tough being a leader?" "Some times. Especially when I have to deal with loss. But I also give some opportunities to people who need it. I've even given a homeless man a small job and it set him up for life." "That's cool. Are the Zusians tyrants. I mean were they?" something about the name doesn't shake me. It's stuck in my head for some reason. "They more are now. There's speculation that a kid got out safe and will one day take back the leadership, but after seeing the wreckage first hand, I don't think anybody left it alive," he says it. But he doesn't sound like he even believes himself. "Did the kid get out? Is it even slightly possible?" "Between you and me. I helped her escape. I know she got out. But I don't think she lived long after we lost contact. Why do you ask?" "Something about the name... It is vaguely familiar but I don't know why. Maybe it's just my meds." "You might have just heard it before." *** Cover by @_scintillas
