19 Chapter 19: GABRIEL

The stats on this area for human trafficking are abominable and something I hadn’t been aware of until now. The shit reads like a seventeenth-century trade log, with numbers of young girls and boys just disappearing off the streets like smoke. Why the fuck it’s not being broadcasted on the news every hour on the hour instead of the other brainless drivel they spout is a mystery.

I’m beginning to think that dad had barely scratched the surface of what was going on here, but at least he knew enough to call me in when he got in over his head. He, too, didn’t seem to know what was going on until he started saving runaways off the streets, which tells me that someone is going to great lengths to keep the enormity of this thing hidden either to avoid panicking the public or for their own personal gains.
