Every day on officer Sebastian's route, he sees the same girl waving at him through her window. So when one day this is not the case anymore, he just knows that something has gone wrong and breaks every rule in the book in order to check it out. When he eventually manages to make his way into her room, he finally gets the answers he was looking for.
But now he suddenly wasn't so sure anymore if he even wanted them…
When Sebastian gets the door slammed in his face, he knows that something is not right. He doesn’t care anymore if this costs him his good standing with the bureau. He is ready to go out on a limb and calls for backup to come and search the house…
Minutes later he and 10 other officers forcefully make their way into the house putting the man that first opened the door in handcuffs. Sebastian himself immediately runs upstairs to the room from where the girl was always waving. He has to know what happened to her.
When he opens the door, he can barely believe what he sees. Now he understands why she was not waving at him anymore that day…
But what had happened to the girl? Why was Sebastian so sure that something was not right and would be proven to be correct?
Sebastian has been on the force for the better part of two decades. He's dedicated to his job, respected by his peers, and has good relations with the locals. Many have called him a hero and his actions have given him quite the resume. Little did he know he was about to add to that resume.
Sebastian has worked hard on the force. He's been on dangerous assignments, but he's left most of that behind now. He's gotten older and has too many responsibilities now. He's not as ambitious as he was when he was younger. He might've been done with the danger, but the danger wasn't done with him.
He's quite proud to be a cop. Sebastian has a wife now and two children that he loves very much. He left dangerous assignments because he couldn't imagine leaving his children without a father. Unfortunately, being a police officer does mean putting your life in danger no matter when and where it shows up.
Now that Sebastian has moved on from being a street cop he works behind a desk. He doesn't mind doing paperwork. He also enjoyed going on rides with rookies, just to teach them a thing or two. Along the route that the rookies would take, he'd gotten to know most of the people. Some would grow very special to him.
Some of the people on the routes would talk with him and others acknowledged that they saw him. A lot of them were kind shop owners and further down the route, homeowners. They didn't mind having the police patrolling around and it made them feel safe, especially with friendly Sebastian on the route.
There was a bigger house on the corner of one street that they passed on the route. It was one of the few houses where Sebastian had no idea who the owners were. There was never anybody outside and he almost thought it was abandoned. Except there was one thing to show someone was home.
