Witnessed Abduction?
by Reader

When I was 8 years old, a friend and I were at the school playground on a Sunday. We were the only ones there. As we headed to the gate to go home, an old black car pulled up to the curb. The car had a rumble seat and a boy with a white and red striped shirt, was gagged and his hands were behind his back as if tied. One of the two men in the car opened the door as if to get out. The man was dressed in a tweed suit and driving cap. I sensed danger and was about to run in the opposite direction, when the man driving the car yelled at his friend to get back in the car that he need not bother with these two. The car drove away and my friend said the boy looked like my brother.

In a panic, I raced home, never looking to see where the car had gone; it was just gone. Upon arriving home, hysterically crying, thinking my brother had been abducted, telling my mother that Tony had been taken by two men in a black car at the school. She calmed me down, wanting me to repeat what I had said, when finished she just calmly said, "Your brother is in there."

I went to his room saw he was safe never thought or spoke of the event again until I was in my thirties. My friend and I never mentioned the incident to one another either. It was as if it had been removed from our conscious thoughts. I'm not sure, but I also think there was a great amount of time that lapsed. We arrived at the playground in the morning and upon my arrival at home I recall my mother cooking dinner.
