Nobody noticed the accounting professor.
Everybody noticed Wilder Shaw.
Wilder Shaw, former child model and Greenbilt College's newest freshman swimmer caught the eye of every man and woman on campus. He was almost too pretty for a 20-year-old boy with his oversized bright blue eyes, chin length copper-y brown waves , slim button nose and thick pink lips.
Everybody noticed Wilder Shaw.
Including the accounting professor.
Nobody had paid attention the morning the professorial looking middle aged man with a Greenbilt College parking pass on his 2003 Camry offered the swimmer a ride across campus. The professor didn't make small talk with his new passenger but he did offer Wilder a powder donut and orange juice. Before the boy could remark that the powder on the donut tasted funny his body went slack in the seat.
The professor smiled giddily to himself.

The sound proof basement in the farmhouse on the defunct Green Pasture Cattle Farm used to operate as a necropsy lab. But the men in the professor's family hadn't used it for that purpose in years. The professor pulled up to his farmhouse, loaded Wilder into his grandfather's old wheelchair and wheeled the buy into the basement. He changed the sleeping swimmer into a pair of dark gray yoga shorts that fit snug against his slim waist before strapping the boy to the necropsy table with his ankles parted and hands above his head.
And there he'd been there for two weeks.
The professor wasn't like his deceased father who, once upon a time, he'd seen do terrible things to his captives.
The professor liked looking and touching. He liked the control and the thrill that no one on campus knew where their beautiful boy was. He was going to do something. He wanted to do something. But he wasn't quite sure what that thing was yet.
