Shadows At Predator Reef
“THE RANSOM call.
All this time, we had wondered about the motivation for the crime. As is so often the case, the crook was after money. It gave us hope that Captain Hook wasn’t bound for some witch doctor’s pot. At least not yet.
As an international businessman, Mr. V seemed to know his way around a negotiation. The first thing he did when he got back on the phone was to demand “proof of life”; that’s what it’s called when the kidnapper provides some kind of proof that the victim is still alive... before a ransom is paid.
The kidnapper hung up, and a minute later Mr. V received a photo text on his cell phone. It was dark and out of focus, but there was no question it was Captain Hook. She was partially submerged in a tiny tank that looked like a hot tub on wheels. It was heartbreaking to see her like that.
Mr. V turned to his niece. “I’m sorry, darling, but we’ll have to catch up later. Right now I need to speak to Frank and Joe alone.”
Aly had something else in mind.
