Chapter Description: A firefighter needs to realize a recue in a mysterious cave. (Male AR)

Ted was a high lever firefighter, always being called for the hardest and deadliest works. One day, he was called for a rescue mission, where a hiker got lost on a cave. After hours of planning and preparation, he was ready. But when he got to the end of the cave, he just encountered a little baby, not older than two, he was very confused, since the cave was very small and only the boy was found and rescued.

Weeks passed and the hiker was still missing, and while the searches continued, Ted was changing, getting smaller and losing body hair from each day that passed, and his wife was trying to keep that as a secret. And after a long time, Ted was a two year old baby again, he didn’t remember anything, he only knew that he was living with his mommy and wanted to be a firefighter when he grow up. The researches lead to the cave having mysterious deaging abilities, and the hiker was the baby boy rescued. But even after the cave, the rescued kid lost a few more months of age, now being only 14 months old.

At home, Amanda, Ted's former wife, now mommy, called his attention as he played. “Teddy, are you ready to your playdate?” He was pushing his toy truck and nodded. Three years have passed, and neither the babies haven’t grown a day. Both the fire department and Ted’s wife were keeping that a secret, but luckily, Ted's and the rescued hiker's families were being paid by the government to keep it a secret, since investigations were still running. Now both kids would have monthly playdates and would play pretend, with the most common theme between them Ted rescuing his friend from a cave.
