When I was 14, there was a quiet boy in my class— he was a true genius. One day, he vanished. The police couldn’t find him. His parents became recluses and barely left the house.24 years later, I was shocked to see him on TV. Same name and face but older. Turns out he was recruited by the government at a young age due to his exceptional intelligence. Everything was top secret; his parents knew he wasn’t truly missing, but had to maintain the illusion of his disappearance.Now, years later, he had left that life behind and was featured in a documentary. My heart skipped when I found out about this, everyone in our town had ended up thinking he was dead and now, just like that, he was on national TV.
