(August 1999, London, England)

Per’s disappearance was immediately reported to DCS Blincoe, who had issued a European-wide alert to be instantly informed about missing 14 years old blonde-haired blue-eyed boys. Norfolk police and coastguards were still searching for the lad for two of several theories trying to explain his sudden disappearance were that he might have somehow simply got lost or, more worryingly, had been swept away by the sea. However, Blincoe now believed otherwise for he had had the car park, adjacent to the beach where the lad disappeared, examined for tyre marks. The missing boy’s younger sister had reported seeing a large white van parked alone there. The DCS postulated that Per was still alive but was about to experience hell. He also thought that he had a month to save the boy’s life.

Blincoe conferred with DCI Burrows in the former’s New Scotland Yard office, with its grand view overlooking the British capital. “Let’s assume that poor Per is the latest victim and summarise what we know so far,” said Blincoe. “The victims are all handsome 14 years old blonde-haired blue-eyed boys from countries whose national flags bear crosses, but we can’t find any other connection between them. They’re all very heavily beaten and tortured over a period of about four weeks. Their torments include being branded and pierced on various parts of the body and, judging from their oral and anal injuries and residue found in their stomachs and rectums, they’re regularly forced to perform fellatio and subjected to sodomy. The brandmarks and gold piercing jewellery are all in the shape of a pentagram. Eventually, after a month of this extreme abuse, they’re taken somewhere remote and crucified. Not content with just nailing the lads to the crosses, all of which have pentagram motifs, the murdering bastards also castrate the poor boys. Modus operandi virtually identical, apart from the fact that the Swiss lad had his balls removed with a knife whilst he was still alive whereas those of the first two victims were destroyed by that wicked elasticator device. We know, from the mix of boot prints and semen stains at the three murder scenes, that there’s at least eight people involved, and that some are probably children. However, the boots are all of the same very common make and impossible to trace to their places of purchase, and no DNA matches have been made. The murderers arrogantly perform the crucifixions in places where the gruesome scene would eventually be discovered and seem to be so confident of avoiding suspicion that they don’t mind leaving clues behind. The pentagrams and crucifixion suggest that the victim’s many horrible tribulations formed part of some mystic rituals.”

Blincoe paused for a while. Burrows knew better than to disturb his boss when he was thinking. The DCS eventually continued “I’m sure that there’s something we’ve overlooked. The kidnappings seem too well executed and the victims too well selected for the snatches just to be anything other than well planned. This means that the murderers had identified the boys in advance and how did they do that when one lived in the south of England, one in Scotland and one in Switzerland, and Per’s on holiday from Denmark? There must be something linking them, murderers and victims, all together. We’ve missed the connection so far but, if we find it, I think we’ll find the killers. Burrows, I want our best officers to interview the previous victims’ families again whilst we travel to Norfolk. We must find the link before it’s too late!”

(Same day, somewhere in England)

On the day of his abduction, Per never did find out what was inside the van. That pleasure would await him later. Instead, he woke up in a large square windowless room, lying on a single metal-framed bed. There were no bedcovers, although both the soft mattress and pillow were wrapped in thick black plastic. It was only when the boy sat up to inspect his surroundings better that he fearfully realised that a bulky metal collar, attached from the rear to the wall behind by a long chain, had been fastened immovably round his neck. His outer weather-proof garments and pullover had been removed, and were nowhere to be seen, leaving him outwardly dressed in his fashionable and expensive azure buttoned shirt, light blue jeans, white sports socks and trainers.

Per looked around. The scene was well-illuminated by fluorescent tubes hidden behind white plastic panels that covered the whole ceiling. The bed was centred at one end of the room and the only door was on the right wall in the far corner. To his left, there was a bedside table with an empty glass and a jug full of water on top. Per found that, in the small cupboard underneath, there were a number of full jars and bottles and items of first aid. On the wall further to his left was a full-length mirror and beyond was a clothes rail, with several peculiar white garments on hangers alongside a number of white shorts, briefs and even skimpier items. There was a strange hospital-like trolley in the corner with filled bottles attached to vertical rails rising above one end. There were spare bottles on a shelf underneath. All of the containers had long plastic tubes leading from them.

Along the wall to his right, there were, in order, a toilet, with a roll of white paper on top of the cistern, bidet, with soap and sponge, and sink, with soap and flannel. Above the sink, there was a mirror about ½ metre square with a shelf below. On the latter sat a comb, a tube of toothpaste, a toothbrush, a bottle of mouthwash, a box of dental floss, and oral and deodorant sprays. The floor in the corner to his right was sunken and had a drainage hole in the middle. Above was a showerhead. There was no shower surround or curtain but there was a nearby shelf with soap, sponge, shampoo and gel. Several clean towels hung neatly from rails attached to the wall between the sink and the shower. Per shivered again when he realised that the room had obviously been equipped for someone to enjoy a long stay. His first shiver had been caused by seeing that the walls and floors were all black except for a large gold pentagram painted directly opposite him on the far wall, above which a small closed-circuit television camera, pointed right at the bed, was suspended from the roof. Hanging at the centre of the star was a quarter-size wooden crucifix. However, instead of the normal Saviour portrayed, there was a naked boy who looked remarkably like himself.
