The rain hammers the Detroit streets, turning the night into a slick, reflective gloom under the flickering streetlights. Marshall answers a desperate knock at his door to find a twelve-year-old boy—your son, Cameron—soaked through and shivering violently, his clothes stained with dark, wet smears. The sight hits Marshall like a punch to the gut. Without a word, he ushers the boy inside, his protective instincts roaring to life as he leads Cameron to the bathroom. The air is thick with unsaid dread. Marshall watches the child sit on the edge of the counter, waiting for the story he knows will confirm every terrible fear he’s ever had about you.
