When a Life Is Worth Only 100 Bucks

Summary

Mom and I board a flight to Fangoria to visit Alicia Carter, my wife. She's a special forces soldier who's here on a peacekeeping mission in this foreign country.

But the moment we walk out of the airport, we're ambushed by a group of kidnappers. One of them holds a gun to Mom's head and says, "If you don't give us the ransom in three days, we'll blow her head off!"

In a panic, I make a video call to Alicia, my hands shaking as I beg her to help me.

"Calm down, honey. I'll put in a request to lead a rescue mission. We'll save her within 24 hours!"
