Winston Drew, age 16, had been the latest disapearence in Mercy, Nevada. So far, 13 people including Winston had vanished from the streets. The town was in an uproar, 13 people stolen from their little town. In a public address, the Mayor had promised to find whoever was responsible and punish them to the full extent of the law. It reassured the people to know that their beloved Mayor was taking care of things.

"Sir?" the deliveryman knocked on the door. "Your shipments are here."

Jordan Haley looked from the police report, and signed the order. Picking up the phone, he told some of his men to unload the truck. With a smile, he tipped the man. Standing, he went down to oversee the unloading.

"Howdy, Jordan. What's in those crates?" Jordan turned to see his grandmother, Mary Haley.

"It's the rest of the statues," he replied. "I had ordered them before the kidnappings, but now it feels disrespectful to put up decorations…"

"It good of you think of that," Mary patted his arm. "But, this town could use some cheer, especially with young Winston being taken."

Some old women standing nearby nodded in agreement.

"Mayor Haley?" one of the men approached him. "Where should we put the statues?"

"Here's a map of Mercy with all the statue positions," he handed the man a laminated sheet of paper.

The next day, all the statues were up. The next day, Delaney James disappeared on the way home from school. Some of the children complained that the statues were creepy, and always seemed to be watching them. One girl even said that a statue had changed positions, she was the next to go. People couldn't agree on why the victims were being taking, but one thing was for certain, there was trouble in a town called Mercy.
