"Angelina...8 year..",he said as he searched among the tapes.
"It's Angela. A-N-G-E-L-A, Angela",Martin exclaimed as he sat on the chair.
"Found it, Martin",Sam said as he came towards him with the tape in his hand.
"It will take time to digitize the old tape and listen to it",he exclaimed as he placed the tape into the cassette and played it.
"But, what do you want to prove, Martin?",he asked as he sat infront of Martin.
"The CD has the current ransom call. Match the voice and see, does it match with my case?",he said as he handed him the CD.
Sammy played the disc when he said:
"Why is the voice so muffed?"
"Must be with the recordings.."
"No..no..listen",he asjusted the sound and they both put their ears and listened.
"Why did you called the police. I have your grandchild. So stop wasting my time and arrange for two million in the morning"
While listening, they could both hear a ring sound from the background of the voice.
"The cycle bell in the background is so clear",Martin said.
"Yes, but how can the voice be so muffed if the mouth-piece is so close to him?",asked the man with glasses, confused.
"Let me just enhance the audio clip",said Sammy as he adjusted the sound.
"Hello? I'm his mother speaking"
It was Sandra's voice.
"Her voice sounds normal but why isn't both the voices seemed to balance. Let me check...even if the kidnapper used a filter, the voice quality can't be that bad",he explained.
Martin stared at him in confusion and they both tried to mingle the voices together to come out with a final confusion but that night, it was already late. Martin fell asleep on the chair.
•••
The next morning, Sam woke up Martin :
"Martin?..Martin!"
Martin slowly opened his eyes and rubbed it when the guy continued:
"I have matched the old and the new calls.."
"Find anything?" yawned Martin.
"It's the same call"
"What?",an astonished Martin said.
"Come here. Look, this is the current kidnapper's waveform",he pointed to the red line on the screen.
"And this is the kidnapper from your case",he pointed to the blue line on the screen and played both of it at the same time.
"I'm playing them simultaneously"
"You mean..It's the same kidnapper in both cases?",a shocked Martin asked.
"That I don't know whether the kidnapper is the same or not but the ransom call is definitely the same. Exact same"
Martin blinked out of confusion.
"How can a man speak in the same way, choosing the same words and stopped at the same places after eight years?",the guy said as he stared on the screen.
"That isn't possible..",said Martin.
Sam adjusted the sound and played the record.
"Wait wait..",Martin said.
