The Bayndemar Trap

Summary

After my girlfriend of seven years checked in from the foreign third-world country, Bayndemar, she suddenly vanished without a trace.

That same night, I received a video from her phone.

In the footage, a man wielding an electric baton sneered at the camera. "Bring five million dollars to the compound if you want her back alive."

Beside him, my girlfriend's clothes were torn, her body covered in blood. Trembling, she begged through tears, "Ryan! Save me! They promised they'd let me go once the money's paid!"

Without hesitation, I went alone.
