Some backstory…
2 years ago, Hunter was stolen from his adoptive mother and adoptive brother by his birth father who wasn’t allowed any visitation due to court order after relinquishing custody.
Present
Luke turns 18 years old today and all he wanted was to have his brother back home with him and his mom. Their dog, Lucky had been depressed since Hunter left and so had their mother.
The cops were still looking for their family member but they only had leads and never were able to find him…until today. The birth father made a mistake by leaving Hunter in the truck by himself.
The man got held up in the store and since it was during the heat of the summer, a woman saw a 13 year old stuck in the car and broke the window in order to rescue him.
“Hey kid, you alright?”
“I feel better now. It was getting hot in that car.”
“What’s your name? We should find your parents.”
“Uh…”
Many minutes go by with the woman trying to get the answers out when a cop arrives to see the strange scene since a passerby had called. The officer eventually convinced the boy to admit his name and the situation.
“Son, I’m going to need you to repeat everything that happened. I need to take the full report. You’re safe now.”
“Two years ago, I was kidnapped from my mom. She adopted me.”
“Alright, give us the information and we will check up on it.”
The officer finds all the information in the boy’s case and realizes the horrible past from the case worker that had found them. The mother rushes to the police station that was hours away with her other son Luke and their dog.
“Luke, stay in the car with Lucky.”
She rushes in and takes Hunter home in complete silence in the car. She allows him to go to sleep before saying anything about what had happened.
