She thought it was the police at first.
Turns out, it was him.
Whoever it was, someone was there to rescue her, and that knowledge made the panic in her heart subside a little.
She was only human, not some kind of superhero. Despite her constant chatter with the kidnapper, her heart was in her throat, fearing that one wrong word would make him angry enough to throw her off.
"Stop yakking and get lost, or I'll jump with her right now," the man threatened Sinclair.
Sinclair glanced at Fanny, who was being held by the neck, and then looked at the kidnapper with eyes as cold as steel. "If you jump, you get nothing. Let her go, and I'll help you get the compensation the hospital owes you. Plus, I'll personally add a million dollars on top."
Sinclair wasn't just making empty promises; he tossed the bag he was holding over to the man.
The bag wasn't zipped, and crisp new bills spilled out, landing right at the man's feet.
For a few seconds, the man was stunned, then he growled, "I don't give a damn about your filthy money. I want my wife and kid back."
His words and his actions today spoke of a deep, consuming grief.
But Sinclair just gave a mocking smile. "Ernie, right? No need to pretend with me. Since I brought the money, you should know why I'm doing this."
Fanny felt the man holding her tense up. Sinclair had hit the nail on the head, and she cursed under her breath.
She had thought he was heartbroken over his dead wife and child, but apparently, he was just playing a role.
Oddly enough, the man hadn't mentioned money until Sinclair showed up. If Sinclair hadn't come, whom would he have asked for money?
Just as she was thinking this, Ernie said, "I don't believe you. You're just trying to trick me into letting her go, and you've definitely brought the cops."
"I didn't. I came alone," Sinclair said, spreading his hands to show he was unarmed.
Hearing this, Ernie took a step back and glanced down to the street.
