Alice was trying to understand it all
why would Dave tell her he was visiting an injured relative
then move out of his home
leaving his boys with her
sorry it looks like your boyfriend has done a runner
said the man at Daves house
he seemed like a nice guy and a great tenant
he paid me his rent in cash every month
how long had he been living here asked Alice
only two months but he paid me an extra month before leaving
that means he rented the place after we first met thought Alice
she drove home fast to check on the boys
there was no sign of the them and their belongs were gone
she noticed the place smelled of cleaning products
stepping outside to look for the boys
she saw a neighbor working in his yard
have you seen two boys leaving the house she asked
yes they left with suitcases a while ago
than a couple of workmen in hazmat suits went inside with chemicals
I assumed you were having some kind of pest treatment
Alice became very concerned
she called the police to report the missing boys
they came very fast and listened to her story
the officer told her not to touch anything in the house
soon after a detective arrived
he asked her to describe the boys appearance
he nodded when she provided the details
the detective told Alice to listen carefully
we have been searching for this criminal gang for a long time
the boys are sophisticated computer hackers
they have given your bank account login details to the gang boss
we need your cooperation to catch them all emptying your bank accounts
