In Bellmare, the mayor was nowhere to be found. It has been weeks and there was no place they didn't reach for him. The town was in a state of red alert, panic and tension. No one walked around at night any longer and shops and malls closed earlier than usual now. No one hung out in the park or even had picnics anymore. No single citizen agreed to a late-night stroll, talk more of walking down the streets alone.
The atmosphere in Bellmare was gloomy and no one was in a merry mood at all.
Mayor Sabian was the talk of the town. The citizens of Bellmare could not believe what had happened to the mayor. It made some people wonder and the feeling of danger and vulnerability was compared to none.
"If the mayor can be kidnapped, then what chance don't have in this town?" one man said in a gathering in front of a small shop which sold beverages.
"How are you sure that he was kidnapped?" another man responded while holding the Bellmare newspapers in his hands.
