“Someone kidnapped Benny.”

“I can’t believe it!” Jim was genuinely surprised.

Bonnie continued, “The kidnapper wants a million–dollar ransom, and they want me to go alone.”

“That’s not happening!” Jim grew anxious.

“The kidnappers will kill my brother if I don’t do as they say. He’s the only son my parents have. They might do something stupid if he dies. Although we might not be blood relatives, he’s still my family. I won’t stand by and do nothing while his life is in danger.”

“That doesn’t make a difference! You can’t do it. I’ll figure something out.” Jim’s brows furrowed as he tried to come up with a solution.

Bonnie sighed and said, “I can’t afford to make any mistakes. I hope you understand, Jim. As your friend, I beg you.”

“That’s why I called you. You’re my safety net.” She had long formed a contingency plan. “They have eyes on me. So, you can’t show yourself. The kidnappers are pretty meticulous, too. They didn’t give me the exact location. Instead, they’re making me take the long way around just to ensure I come

alone.

“Nonetheless, you’ll be pleased to know I’ve tracked their exact location. You’ll take a team with you and hole up around the area. We’ll decide what to do depending on the situation.”

Jim pondered before finally agreeing to the idea. “Okay. Watch your back. I mean it.”

“Roger that.” Once Bonnie hung up, she went to the bank to withdraw a million dollars in cash.

On the other hand, Jim called a task force comprised of a thousand elite combatants. Not only were they armed, but they brought dozens of helicopters and SUVs. They even brought a tank.

“Close the gate!” Their leader barked an order.

Creak!
