Complete story — includes the ending

Danny's brother Rafi goes missing from the apartment he shares with his pregnant fiancee and their nine-year-old son. Danny is initially sceptical to hear that Rafi is a changed man, now dedicated to his family, but begins to change his mind when he sees proof that he was making attempts to open his own business. However the ensuing investigation reveals that Rafi has recently had connections with a convicted car thief and that a large sum of money he had that he was planning to use to buy his own business didn't come from the bank. Though Jack points out that Rafi could have very innocent explanations for the suspicious circumstances, Danny can't shake the feeling that his brother may have put himself in harm's way. Eventually, it is his knowledge of his brother's mind that leads him to the knowledge of whether his brother may now be hiding. Danny makes a vow to his soon-to-be sister-in-law that no matter what happens, they will get through it together.
