A Life Less Than Ordinary

Ransom

Carrick
I get a call telling me unless I want to see my son ever again, I need to get a billion dollars ready in twenty four hours. I call Grace and tell her the bad news. Both have been missing for nearly two days.
Jane
I can't believe they have my Anastasia, the call says they want a billion dollars in the next twenty four hours if they don't get it then they will kill her. They will contact me to give further details. Adam tells me everything will be okay.
Taylor
I tell them that Sarah Sanders and Alex Sanders are people they should look at. I tell them to check on where Jose Rodriguez is at? He is still in jail. I recall Carmine Alexander is also someone to look at regarding miss Steele. I have Barney do his magic. The coast guard said they found a loaded gun and a satellite phone in the cooler they had in the boat. The call from Christian said he was under attack, so he hid the gun and the phone for a reason.
Carrick
Jane offered to get the ransom for both Christian and Anastasia. It is a matter of expediency now. I agree and we have the cash in about six hours. I had no idea Jane could get that kind of cash so quickly. She smiles and says Adam Steele had a kidnap plot against us regularly and he put away a billion for all three of us. I was the inky one who knew where it was hidden. Now Kate, Ethan and Anastasia knows where it is and how to get it if needed.
Jane
The guards are right in top of the cash and the money has been counted and checked to assure it was not counterfeit. I look at the guy who checked for counterfeit money. That is quite odd for someone do that. I think even Carrick questions it. I start thinking where I have seen the security guard before. I excuse myself after the money is put in the bags and I get someone to check if Chad Alvarez is new to the team?
George Andrews Head of Steele security
He isn't on our staff and he isn't supposed to be near you at all. Can you stall them? Cops are on their way I am sending someone to check it out.
Jane
I feel something cold against my head.
Chad
Hand me the phone right now. I suddenly feel a hit to the head. I black out. Shortly after ward I am tied up to the other security guards. All of us were fake and we are caught. Six of us are being arrested. We were found out I think we were set up by the others. We talk in the back of the van that came and picked us up. The real guards take over.
Simon Thomas
I can't believe this, I thought I was just coming along to guard money. That was what I was told. I explain that I was called in by Chad just to guard money. Nothing was mentioned about kidnapping anyone.
Oscar Davis
I was told the same thing. We are being set up here and those guys know something that we don't. I was just told to ride with five other guards to guard a big sum of money nothing else.
Masked person 1
We should be hearing back from Carl Everett soon about the money arriving.
Masked person 2
Well looks like pops isn't bringing the money back is he.
Masked person 3
We have to check on the situation. Call your friend. Then we call for the ransom. Feed, water and take those two to the restroom. Take two guys with you armed. Masks on.
Anastasia
I am given a restroom break and they take the tape off my mouth. I am told if I scream or try to escape they kill me and Christian. I use the restroom and wash my hands and rinse out my mouth. It looks like we are in a basement. They feed me and give me water. They tape my mouth put my mask on me and tie me up again. Tighter this time.
Christian
I am taken to the restroom and allowed to use it and then wash and dry my hands. They give me food and water and tell me not to call for help or try to escape they will kill Anastasia and me. They know we won't put the others life in danger any more than it is. They tie me and place us back to back with something blocking us from one another.
Carrick
We get a call for the ransom and they somehow know that we have the money here at m home. That tells me that we have a mole in our midst. I suspect Taylor already has an idea who it is. I think he knows that it is a new hire who is working for either him or the Steele's and knew about the boat trip. So that would make it one of Christian's new hires security wise. We need to assure the family is safe with this money here. But if we have a bad egg in the security team, we have to figure out who it is.
Jose Rodriguez
I can't wait until I get out of here and spend my share of the billions of dollars. Sarah and her father guaranteed me a cut since I put them in touch with friends of mine. Sarah just walked out of the jail and no one knew it was her. It didn't take long at all. I have access to all Alex Sanders came to see me after we were arrested. I give him a few guys that are dumb enough to think they are acting in a movie but the cameras are where they won't look directly into them. But when they ended up in the same jail I am in they realized it was a real kidnapping. I need to be put in solitary confinement now. Police are talking to me and Alex. Four down and I don't know who the others are though. The Sanders found the others.
Carrick
It has been three days and they are jerking us around about the ransom drop.
