Chapter 11 Special Forces - Freakshow

• Freakshows, I thought those died in the early 20th century but now, they are back and snatch up more victims - yes you heard me right, many children from the city are snatched into the freaks' lairs with promises of belonging and happiness. Those kids, if they do come out, become robots - they act as if something switches them on or off; one minute a kid, usually 14 y.o. can sit quietly and the next, he will yell profanities, spit and claw at anyone daring to approach.
• Another strange thing about these kid-robots, they kill themselves if questioned by authorities such as police or psychiatrists - whom they are inexplicably, afraid of. How do freakshows fit into this? Well, disappearances are said to occur after a kid went to a show/party/"rave" at this abandoned theater - invited by their friends. My neighbor lost his daughter this way, he claimed she didn't return last night and when she did, she was lifeless and scared of him and his wife. The poor girl slashed her veins open when a psychiatrist tried to help her. Working for the government, a nameless organisation that conducts "deniable ops" all over the globe (let's call it that) I had access to all kinds of intel, therefore, I tried to investigate what is killing our youth - no information was found. Talking to my colleagues didn't get me anywhere either, they just waved it off as either an "urban legend" or with a "let the police handle this."
• The only way I was going to find out is actually infiltrating the theater - God knows the police's hands are tied due to needing warrants, permits etc; something they won't receive. Would you give it if a cop said he wanted to search an abandoned circus looking for some mythical horrors?! Doubt it. I had to go inside and save any victims that haven't been roboticised.
