Inspector David couldn't shake off the reports he had received about the mysterious disappearance of several civilians over the past three weeks. It weighed heavily on his mind, occupying his thoughts for a long time. In the past, when civilians went missing, they would eventually be discovered in public places, unconscious but unharmed. However, this time, despite all efforts, these missing individuals remained elusive, leaving no trace behind.

He tried to recall the cases of those who had vanished and later reappeared in various locations like bus stops, phone booths, fire stations, and shopping malls. Strangely, they were found in perfect condition, without a scratch on their bodies. Even more puzzling, their money and valuables were left untouched, ruling out robbery as a motive. So, if not money, then what could be driving these kidnappings?

What made matters even more perplexing was that when questioned, the victims couldn't provide any explanation for what had happened to them. It was as if they had lost their memories, completely unaware of the events that transpired during their disappearance. This baffling pattern had been going on for the past eight months, with reports of missing civilians surfacing only to have them reappear a few days later. The cycle of being lost and found continued, leaving everyone at a loss to explain the cause.

Now, the question loomed larger than ever: why were they disappearing again? It seemed that the kidnapper had changed their tactics this time, adding a new twist to the already confounding situation. Inspector David reluctantly set aside the reports that had been occupying his hands all day. It was time to head home, hoping that tomorrow would bring no more reports of missing civilians.
