Officer Discreetly Follows Lost Boy, Then Breaks Down When He Discovers the Truth

Sean radioed dispatch with the little information he had: male child, maybe nine, first name Leo, dark backpack, heading east on foot. He asked to be notified if any missing-child call came in, but for now, there was nothing. No frantic parent. No school alert. No one reporting a boy wandering alone downtown. The child clearly had a destination in mind, yet Sean still had no idea who he was looking for or why it mattered so much.
