Something Wasn’t Right—And My Son Felt It First
After a tough move to a new town, my son Jordan had been unusually quiet. Hoping to lift his spirits, we stopped by a local block party where Officer Bellamy let him sit on a police motorcycle. For the first time in days, Jordan smiled. But then, something changed.
Jordan whispered something to the officer, and Bellamy’s warm demeanor suddenly shifted. I couldn’t hear what was said, but his expression made my stomach turn.
That night, I got a text from an unknown number: “Call me. It’s about Jordan.” It was Officer Bellamy.
He told me that Jordan had asked, “Do you know what it’s like to live in fear?”—not in a casual way, but with real emotion. Bellamy felt it wasn’t just stress from the move, but something deeper.
The next day, I gently asked Jordan what was wrong. He finally admitted he missed home, but also said, “Something feels wrong here.” He spoke of seeing people watching him, hearing footsteps when no one was there.
Terrified, I hugged him and promised we’d figure it out.
That night, I did some digging and found reports of unsolved disappearances in the town—rumors of people vanishing without explanation.
The next morning, I took Jordan to a therapist. Slowly, he began to open up and feel safer. Officer Bellamy stayed in touch, always supportive.
Through this, I realized that sometimes kids sense things adults don’t. Jordan’s fear led us to uncover something darker—and it reminded me how vital it is to listen, ask for help, and trust your instincts.
