Taking Hearts

Taken

(DAYU)

Desperate times, calls for desperate measures.

And if kidnapping someone is the only solution a person can think of, then that should gave you all some ideas about how desperate I am.

But if we will enumerate my situation, I think you can find it in your hearts to understand me.

First, I am being accussed of embezzling millions from the company I work at. Or rather worked at since I was already fired and now I am jobless.

Second, I can be jailed

Third. I only have eleven thousand, three hundred sixty five yuan and forty cents on my account. My funds...are very limited, shall we say.

Fourth, I can be jailed again. This has to be emphasized because I am having nightmares about this and I really don't think I will survive prison.

Fifth, my best bet is still the Vice President of Wang Int'l who I feel like has a personall grudge against me. For some unknown reason that is beyond me.

Sixth, and I really have to add this. It looks like I cannot afford to adopt a cat. I think I am doomed to living my life alone.

Seventh, selling my body parts won't amount to twenty million yuan. My virginity can only get me at least a hundred thousand yuan if I sell it to black market bidders. My bladders? My kidneys? Never mind! I have aversion to blood and needles.

(Yes, I am that desperate that I check out how much my virginity cost.)

So...what else can I do but take the road most people won't take.

(Maybe because they are not being pinned to have stolen millions from a powerful company.)

That road? Kidnap the Vice President and heir to Wang International.

Yes! I will be jailed anyway, might at least go all the way, right?

(Don't agree with me please. Kidnapping is bad. I am just in a situation right now. Don't kidnap anyone.)

Anyway. Things are like this now and tonight, after two weeks of planning and spending almost two thirds of my funds, I am ready to kidnap Vice President Wang Qing.

Here we go.

The plan is simple. Masquerade as a hotel staff where Vice President Wang Qing is staying for the week on a conference. Then I will go to his room and kidnap him.

That's it.

The other details are fuzzy to me as well but I have no choice. I have to make him listen to me. It's my only hope to avoid getting jailed for stealing and embezzling.

So I will kidnap him. Tonight. Or if I won't succeed, then I will be imprisoned. A fate that's too cruel for me but we will see.

Let's see if my fate is in the prison or freedom.

I look at my old watch. It's almost close to midnight. Today is Friday. The beginning of the weekend where there will be no work in Wang International.
