Be Careful!

Mike has been looking for his little brother for the past 4 years. His kid brother went out with his friends on his 17th birthday and never came back home. He was an apt student and a talented football player and had absolutely no reason to run away, despite what the police said.

Mike was following a lead, suggesting that his brother had been caught by devil worshipers and was brain washed. He is now living in the gutters, harvesting human and animal organs for his leader. Mike was appalled and could no believe it is true, but he was determined to follow any lead and not to give up on his little brother, like the police had done a couple of years before.

His mother was trembling and her voiced quivered when she said: "be careful!". She didn't want to lose another son, but like Mike, she didn't want to miss any opportunity to find little Ben. She pressed lightly on Mike's shoulder blade - not sure whether she wanted to hold him back or to send him away with her blessings. She said "be careful!" again, as if doubling the greeting might double the protection and Mike's level of carefulness.

Mike took a small pocketknife and a flashlight and went on his way to the gutters. The water were constantly dripping and making an echo inside the darkness of the gutters. Miked walked carefully, one small step following the next. He was afraid to open his flashlight and was led only by his wish to find his brother and save him from the evils which had caught him.
