Location

  • Streetwise: This is mostly an issue people would know about through their connections to the street.
  • Downtown: Most of the reported cases have all happened downtown.

Hooks

  • Investigation: Are you the type that likes to follow clues, uncover evidence and piece together motives from seemingly unrelated cases?
  • Do-Gooder: People are turning up Missing. They have families and you know people are worried about them.
  • Crime: Cop? Criminal? Stuff is going on in your city and may have further-reaching effects than just a few random faces in the rain.
  • Wierdness: The woman was taken during a storm - so big deal right? The night the big storm hit and the woman was taken, the power flickered for four blocks in that area; just four. It was like someone was playing with a switch; it went off, and on three times. Each time was for for exactly 23 seconds.

Themes

  • Missing Persons: People turn up missing but does anyone really care. The hook for this plot is when someone turns up missing that has people looking for them. They're not just "anyone" on the street, they're a "someone".
  • Kidnapping / Abduction: Kidnapping / Abductions happen all the time in the city so why do we care about the latest victim? Why was -this- one put on the news? Oh, her family has money and that's why we seem to care, right?
  • Murder: People who turn up missing at one point typically are found murdered at the other. Whatever they saw when they were taken can never be spoken of for fear that it might incriminate whoever it was that took them.
  • High Society / Media: This last missing person has the media's attention mostly because of the woman's connection to High Society and big money.
