On the main street of Shuanghu Town, Minnesota, Joey cruised slowly in his beat-up police car, conducting his routine daily patrol.
As he passed, a few people forced smiles and greeted him, but most just lowered their heads and ignored him, as if he were a complete stranger.
The scene infuriated Joey, but he was powerless to do anything about it.
As the police chief of Shuanghu Town, he should have been well-respected, but now, he had let everyone down.
If it weren't for his decent reputation over the years and the lack of any suitable replacement, he probably would have lost his position as chief by now.
Joey's brows furrowed. He knew this was all because of the disappearance that had occurred yesterday.
A six-year-old girl with autism had disappeared in broad daylight and was yet to be found.
And on that day, Joey, the chief, had clearly seen a glimpse of the abducted child, but he had fallen unconscious during the pursuit, crashing his car into a tree.
