night, he told me he was going to a classmate’s birthday party. Something felt off, so I called the boy’s mom — TURNS OUT, THERE WAS NO PARTY PLANNED.
At that moment, I knew I had to follow him the next day. And let me tell you… I WASN’T READY for what I saw. After school, I SAW HIM WALKING INTO A rundown old laundromat on the edge of town.
