The van full of silence

Tonight I saw them take someone.

A dev I sometimes saw at the café — React guy, always wore the same hoodie. He was just walking home when a black van pulled up. No plates. No sound. Doors opened and two of the “watchers” stepped out.

He didn’t even scream. They moved too fast. By the time I reached the corner, the van was gone.

Everyone else on the street just kept walking, like nothing happened. Like they didn’t even notice.

The hoodie was left behind on the ground. I picked it up. It’s on my chair right now, staring at me.
