His mom's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh? What happened?"

With his daily routine out of the way, Axel decided to take a walk outside. The fresh air and sunshine would do him some good, and he needed a break from the confines of his room. As he strolled through the streets, he noticed a commotion near the upscale part of town.

A group of men, dressed in black suits and sunglasses, were surrounding a teenager who was disguised in a wig and a hoodie. The girl's eyes were wide with fear as the men closed in on her. She tried to run, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot. The men moved swiftly, their faces expressionless, as they grabbed her and dragged her towards a black van.

The girl struggled and kicked, her voice muffled by the hand clamped over her mouth. The men didn't seem to be fazed by her resistance, their grip on her only tightening as they tossed her into the van. The girl's eyes were wild with panic as she looked around, her gaze meeting Axel's for a brief moment before the van's doors slammed shut.

The whole operation was executed with precision and speed, leaving no room for intervention. The men jumped into the van, and it sped away, leaving Axel standing there, watching the scene unfold. Axel's eyes followed the van as it disappeared into the distance, wondering what was going on.

The van was heading towards the outskirts of town, and Axel knew he had to move quickly. He set off towards the van's location, his heart racing with anticipation. As he ran, he could feel his adrenaline pumping, ready to take on whatever lay ahead.
