Mary and Lucy were searching for their missing sons, Conal and Logan. They walked through the busy streets, determined to find out what happened to their boys and hopefully bring them home safe.
The police had given up, saying their sons were probably victims of street violence. But the two mothers couldn't accept this. They felt in their hearts that there was more to the story.
Instead of giving up, they decided to take action. Mary knew about a private investigator who might be able to help them find their sons, so that's where they were heading.
They walked into the eastern part of town, an area they'd never been to before. This neighborhood was rough—there were homeless people and drug addicts on every street corner. The whole place felt dangerous and made both women very uncomfortable.
There were a lot of police officers in the area—more than usual. Both women felt nervous about this but stayed quiet, not wanting to draw attention to themselves.
