It was a simple neighborhood, children playing or riding their bike's no one seemed to care about what had happened to one of the young boy who went missing, he was found dead, the autopsy showed he had been sodomized and strangled, so sad that an innocent child would die in such a cruel way, yet no one seemed to care.

...............

A young boy was all alone playing with his ball like always, none of the other children really interacted with him but it didn't matter to him, he liked being alone, avoiding other people and their problems oh how he disliked it. The silence would soon be destroyed by the sounds of the ice cream truck which was driven by an man in his 60-70s all the kids knew him always giving delicious treats to the children of the neighborhood and always with that creepy smile, the boy never liked it, the way he looked. He was going to get up and leave l, maybe go home and play games....until he heard someone calling out to him, "Dimitri,"

He turned to see it was the ice cream man, smiling and waving at him, he was surprised and a bit uneasy, yet he still approached the old man "what do you want?" His voice was full of curiosity, the man grinned, "ah how are you today? I see your alone again" Dimitri looked away from the man it wasn't his business to be messing with him, "well I don't really have friends, so I'm used to it" "oh? You seem like a nice kid, I don't see why people avoid you" "well it's none of your business"

After that Dimitri walked off, he didn't want to deal with this man trying to be friends with him.

.......

Weeks went by and Dimitri did speak to the old man every once in a while but not to the point of trusting him, until one day the ice cream man had called him over to him, "what do you want?" "I have some terrible news kiddo, your parents got hurt in an accident, your dad asked me to take you to the hospital" Dimitri looked at him, he was always told not to trust strangers but this man, he wasn't much of a stranger so he got in the truck, the drive was calm as Dimitri sat there calmly, not realizing the way that man was looking at him

...........3 weeks later

A body had been discovered near a ditch, their face had been horrible mutilated and their hands hand been broken, it was the ice cream man, during his autopsy it was shown that he had been sodomized with a metal rod and his genitals had been removed and had been shoved down his throat, when they finally discovered his truck they found evidence of him being responsible for the death of 12 year old Robert.

.....

Dimitri sat in his same place, casually eating a popsicle.
