Her Story: Rise Of Tiffany Chapter 28

This was a classic case of getting too big for their britches. The kidnappers were kicking themselves, realizing how dumb they’d been.

Their kidnapping had gone off without a hitch- they’d grabbed Tiffany easily, thinking she was just some helpless girl. They never thought for a second she could get away from a bunch of big guys like them.

But reality proved they were wrong. Not only could she escape, she could fight like a pro. From the start, Tiffany had just been putting on an act.

The kidnappers tried to fight back, some even tried to run, but Tiffany would knock them around a bit, and pretty soon Zoe had them all tied up good and tight

Zoe looked around, feeling pretty good about how things turned out. She asked Tiffany where the missing kidnapper was, clearly seeing Tiffany as someone she could count on.

Tiffany sat down and broke the news that the other guy wasn’t coming back. This made Zoe feel better, but it totally crushed the three tied-up kidnappers.

They finally got what was going on – Tiffany had been picky about the food on purpose, just to get one of them to leave. They’d been hoping their buddy would come back and save them, but now they knew it was all over. Talk about a lost cause!

“Tiffany, are we leaving now or what?” Zoe asked, not sure of their plan.

“No need to hurry. Someone will be coming to get us,” Tiffany replied calmly.

“Okay, then I’ll go grab a bite,” Zoe said, heading straight for the snacks.

She was so hungry that manners were the last thing on her mind. The factory was a ghost town, but it still had some basic stuff around.

Tiffany sat in the chair, looking over at the captive guys. Out of nowhere, she smiled in a way that gave them the creeps. “Do you know where your friend went?”

“Don’t tell me… you…” They couldn’t finish the sentence, but they all got the same awful idea of what happened.

It was pretty clear what Tiffany meant earlier when she said their buddy wasn’t coming back. There was really only one way to take that he was gone for good.

Tiffany raised an eyebrow. “Okay, let’s be straight here. What did Stan promise you guys! And don’t even try to lie, or you’ll end up just like your friend.”

The kidnappers were so taken aback that she just came right out and named the mastermind. She sounded so sure like she knew everything that was going on.

They looked at each other, scared for their lives. They finally answered quietly, “He gave us 10,000-dollars up front, and said we’d get another 20,000 if we pulled it off.”

Only 30,000 to take my life? What an absurd idea! Tiffany thought, determined to make Stan pay for it.

She then spoke indifferently, “Since you took the money, it’ll be even easier to throw the book at you. Do you guys know how long you could be locked up for kidnapping and trying to extort someone?”

“Miss Kelley, please go easy on us!” they pleaded. “We just were thinking straight for a minute. We promise we’ll never do anything like this again, we swear!”

“Weren’t thinking straight for a minute? What a convenient excuse, Tiffany sneered inwardly.

They’d gotten greedy and kidnapped someone for money, doing some pretty awful stuff, and now they thought they could just write it off. As if it was that simple to make this all go away.

Tiffany smirked. “If broken promises were dollars, you’d be billionaires by now,” she mocked.
