They are having a period of downtime and resting up in one of their houses. Joe is painting, reading/writing poetry and working as an art teacher. Nicky is growing a garden, trying to decide if they should have some chickens or maybe goats (he is feeling a little nostalgic okay?) and is volunteering at the local animal shelter. They both have their guard down and neither notices their neighbor developing an obsession with one of them.
The neighbor somehow manages to kidnap the one they are obsessed with (drugs, threatening a child, hitting him over the head with a rock?) and keep him locked up somewhere while doing whatever they want with them. All the while the one not abducted is going out of their mind looking for the kidnapped one and having to cooperate with lawenforcment (for some reason). The whole time the neighbor is pretending very convincingly to be supportive and helpful.
When they eventually reunite the one who was not abducted feels a lot of guilt and the one who was kidnapped is traumatized from what he went through while he was a captive
