Ozzie: *cleaned up the remaining dishes n washed them*
Thrax; 8soon came down8
Ozzie: How's Kiaran now?
Thrax; Fast asleep
Ozzie: Tht's good *hears a knock on the door* Help me get tht, pls? My hands r a little occupied
Thrax; 8looked through the peephole8
*it was a young nerdy looking boy-cell*
Thrax; 8opened the door slight8 Yes?
Boy: Umm..is this the PI dept?
Thrax; I'm afraid we're closed for the day
Boy: Bt...Bt...Bt I need ur help. Its urgent. N its not the weekend, u cant fool me
Thrax; 8looked at his mate8
Ozzie: *approaches the door n fully opens it* Why do u need our help for, young man?
Boy: M-M-My boyfriend's missing. I need u to find him...
Ozzie: *blinked* Boyfriend? My dear boy, ur only 6, 7 at the most
Boy: *pouts*
Thrax; 8arched a brow8
Ozzie: Alright, come in n tell me wat exactly is going on. Thrax, get him something to drink
Boy: *walks in timidly n was seated on the office chair*
Thrax; 8brought in some water8
Boy: *takes the water n nodded a thanks*
Ozzie: Now why dont u start frm the beginning, young man?
Thrax; 8sat down8
Boy: My name is Kenan, n...I suffer frm a medical condition which halts n stunts my growth. I'm actually 16 yrs old
Ozzie: 16? Ur kidding, right??
Kenan: *shook his head* My medical condition halted my growth wen I was 7, n I've been this way evr since. I could nvr be taken seriously n wen I'm caught doing adult things, they think I faked my ID until I actually showed them my medical report, n evn then they still wouldnt give a hoot abt me, telling me I should just hole up at home n stop creating misunderstandings n inconvenience to evryone else... *smiled a little* ...until I met Hitch
Thrax; 8had heard of this condition8 Hitch?
Kenan: My boyfriend. We met wen I was being bullied by a bunch of kids in school. He rescued me, n aftr being friends for a yr, we've been dating since last yr. Tho Hitch almost got into trouble with the law for being a "pedo", bt my doctors n parents had set the record straight
Thrax; And I thought the cells here were smart
Kenan: U get a few bad eggs in btwn. No surprise there. Bt now Hitch has gone missing, n I'm scared
Ozzie: Hv u tried calling his family n friends?
Kenan: His friends r vry few, most of them ditching him evr since we started dating, n they all said they havent seen him. N his parents r the ones who asked me to try u guys since their friend had ur contacts. Ur the ones who solved the sealed room murder case with the cops 3 mths ago, right?
Thrax; 8tried to remember8
Ozzie: Oh yeah, the one happened to Eduardo's distant cousin, remember?
Thrax; 8nods8
Ozzie: So now here u r
Kenan: *nods*
Ozzie: Any details of ur boyfriend?
Kenan: *gives them a picture*
Thrax; 8looked at it8
*it was a picture of a virus who seemed to be descended frm the Cholera disease, sharp green eyes n brownish skin*
Thrax; 8nods8 We'll find him8
Kenan: *nods* Thanks, I reli appreciate it. Here *gave him his number* Call me if there's any progress*
Thrax; We will 8took it
Kenan: *nods n left the office*
Ozzie: *walked him out*
Thrax; 8went to check on Kai8
Kiaran: *was sleeping soundly, sucking his thumb*
Thrax; 8stroked his dreads8
Kiaran: *whimpered a little, shifted n continued sleeping*
Thrax; 8smiled softly before leaving him8
Ozzie: Well, its been a while since we're assigned a missing's person's case
Thrax; Quite
Ozzie: Lets run a little bkgrd chk on this Hitch buddy first. Maybe our computer access with the police database can help us out
Thrax; 8looked it up8
*data showed tht Hitch was just like any other regulars teens, no priors, average all-rounder, nvr reli got in trouble with the law other than minor ones tht got him off with warnings*
Thrax; Why kidnap him?
Ozzie: *tapped his chin* Hmm, no idea...Let's chk his regular plcs, where he often goes n watnot
Thrax; Right
Ozzie: Since we cant leave Kia alone at home, we better make a phone call to the folks instead
Thrax; 8nods8
Ozzie: *went to the phone n dialed the number of Hitch's home* ...Hello? Yes, I'm calling frm the PI agency, I got frm ur son's boyfriend tht u were looking for...Yes, tht's right, Kenan...Uh-huh...
Thrax; 8cocked an ear8
Ozzie: Yes, I'd like to ask if there would be any regular plcs ur son might often frequent? *held his hand out to Thrax for a pen n paper*
Thrax; 8handed them8
Ozzie: *wrote as he continued talking* OK...Uh-huh...OK, yeah...Anywhere else?....Uh-huh, yes, alright, got it. I'll keep in touch, n tell Kenan n his family to not worry, we'll take care of it. Alright, thank u, bye *hangs up*
Thrax; 8looked at the notebook8
Ozzie: Well, there's the usual suspects: the park where he would walk his dog evry evening, the library where he n Kenan often go to do homework, the arcades, the weekend movie theatre n Kenan's home
Thrax; we may have to start tomorrow
Ozzie: Yeah, bt we hv to make sure tht Kia is better tomorrow first
Thrax; 8nods8
