Billy Two Hawks Julian Ashbourn

Abduction is unlike the other Billy Two Hawks adventures as, in this case, Billy is truly shocked and heartbroken at what he discovers. Nevertheless, he carries on, even when, at times, the task seems completely impossible. The frustration that Billy feels while trying to find a missing person is the frustration felt by many, whether they be the families of those involved, or the authorities who try their best, often against a tide of indifference. Billy is further shocked by the monstrous actions of a few within society who are truly committing crimes against humanity. He also discovers those who run shelters for the homeless and abused and understands that, fortunately, there is good, as well as evil, within our modern world. However, we cannot afford to be complacent and so, Abduction, is a warning to us all of what can happen if we do not adhere strictly to our duty of care towards the young and the vulnerable. It is a fitting tale with which Billy will bow out and return to his own trail in life. Perhaps he has taught us something with his brief acquaintance. Sakihitowin.
