Soon, the person in charge discovered who the hotelâs owner was and realized the hotelâs bar had stopped operations for over a month. However, the bar suddenly reopened. So, those men pretended to be the barâs employees and kidnapped Shirley after leading the girls inside. Then, Imogen said, âWe were just tired from shopping and realized a cafe was open there. So, we went in to take a break. We didnât know weâd be locked inside.â
After that, the cops spotted the kidnappers leaving the bar through the surveillance camera that was facing the back alley. The police locked onto the kidnappersâ car and started tracking them.
At the same time, Zachariasâ phone rang from an unfamiliar number from Flor. He looked at the phone and told the cops. âI think the kidnappers are calling me.â
âYou may answer the phone, Mr. Flintstone. Weâve set up the tracking device.â
So, Zacharias answered the phone. âHello.â
âHi, Mr. Zacharias Flintstone. We know who you are, and Iâm sure you know who we are, too. Your woman is currently in our hands. Now, you have five minutes to decide. Iâll give you an account number. Transfer 150 million to us, and she stays alive.â
âIâll do it. Please donât hurt her,â Zaharias said without hesitation. He needed to play along with these kidnappers, his only concern being Shirleyâs well-being.
âThatâs quick of you. It truly brings joy to engage in a deal with someone of your stature.â The person on the other end of the phone laughed. âRemember. Five minutes. After that, Iâll send that womanâs limbs to you through this number.â
âDonât hurt her!â Zaharias exclaimed. However, the kidnapper had already ended the call. Ren, standing next to Zacharias, immediately reassured him, saying, âDonât worry. Weâll advance the money since weâll get it back sooner or later.â
âThank you.â
âItâs us who should be sorry,â Ren replied. Then, Zacharias passed the phone to his men when an account number appeared on the screen. The men promptly entered the account number and the sum of 150 million.
âWait for two minutes before sending it,â Zacharias instructed in a low tone. If they send it over too quickly, the kidnappers might suspect that he was working with the police. So, the two-minute delay could help dispel the kidnappersâ suspicion.
Imogen stood behind Zacharias, watching the unfolding events with a tight grip on her emotions.
Surprisingly, he remained composed, leaving her uncertain about his thoughts. All she could do was follow him, and she swore to kill those kidnappers when the opportunity arose.
Meanwhile, Shirley was taken to a suburb 10 miles away from the city and tied to a chair with her head covered. However, her figure was still enough to excite the kidnappers as they leered at her, contemplating an opportune moment to do the deed.
Ding! Suddenly, the sound of a message rang, and the man who was working on the computer shouted, âItâs here! The moneyâs in! 150 million. It f*cking is 150 million! Weâre rich!â
âWeâll each get around 15 million. This is awesome!â All the kidnappers were ecstatic as this was their biggest win.
âAre you sure the moneyâs in?â
âLetâs withdraw some money to check if itâs a bad check or actual money.â
With that, they drove to the nearest bank and swiftly withdrew 150 thousand before returning to their hideout. They were in a state of euphoria.
âBoss, are we seriously letting this woman go?
Iâve not played with girls of her race. Sheâs a 10 out of 10. I wanna see what itâs like to hook up with her before we let her go.â
âYou guys better recall whose woman she is. If you donât want to risk your life while the moneyâs on the table, drop that notion while you still can!â the kidnapper leader reminded them coldly. âIâm going to take a nap. You guys watch her.â He was feeling tired after relaxing from his tense state. So, he wanted to take the opportunity to rest as they would need to make a run for it at night.
