That gave her reason to believe there was still a chance they would be reunited.

But months passed.

Then more time passed.

And there was still no call.

The Silence Was Devastating

Imagine searching for someone you love without knowing whether you’ll ever see them again.

That was the reality Mares faced.

She didn’t know whether Semper was safe.

She didn’t know who had him.

She didn’t know whether he was being cared for.

And perhaps most painfully, she didn’t know why the microchip hadn’t led him back to her.

She continued hoping that one day her phone would ring with the news she had been waiting for.

Someone had found Semper.

Someone knew where he was.

He was coming home.

But that call never came.

Then She Asked for Help

Eventually, Mares decided she needed another approach.

She enlisted the help of private investigator Ana Campos, who began looking into what had happened to Semper.
