Unknown Identity

Chapter Four:  Missing Teens

"You say your son has been missing for two and a half days, Mr. Bakura?" the tall policeman said.  Mr. Bakura nodded. 

"He didn't come home from school Tuesday afternoon," he said.  "He can take care of himself, I know, and sometimes he goes to a friend's house without calling me, so I wasn't too worried the first day, but he would never do that two nights in a row."

"Is there any chance he may have run away?" the policeman asked.  "Has he been at all strange lately?"

"Not at all," Mr. Bakura replied, forcing back tears.  "He's been perfectly happy for the last few weeks." 

"Tell me, Mr. Bakura…  Is your son friends with Yugi Mouto, by any chance?"  Mr. Bakura looked up sharply. 

"Why, yes, as a matter of fact – why do you ask?"

"Now, Mr. Bakura, I don't want to worry you, but it seems that Yugi Mouto and several of his other friends also went missing on Tuesday.  As a matter of fact, it seems that they disappeared in the middle of the school day.  No one's seen head nor tail of them since."  Mr. Bakura sat down very suddenly. 

"So that's why you asked if he might have run away…" he said quietly.  The policeman nodded in reply. 

"Now, what was your son's name?"

"Ryou Bakura," Mr. Bakura replied, steeling himself for the long and painful interview process. 

A/N:  Again, sorry for the shortness… I tried to keep this fic down below novel-length – I think I tried a little too hard in some parts…
