It was going to be a bad day, Jason realized. In the back seat of the police cruiser, he examined every last detail of his environment, waiting to discover an advantage he might use during his daring escape. He decided to make conversation, “I am a federal agent!” he shouted to the officer driving. “You must release me immediately!”

“We get five nut-jobs like you a week, pal. Just relax. We’ll be at the station before you know it.”

At that moment a white conversion-van ran a red light, crashing into the squad car. The car spun out of control, its final resting place a telephone pole. Three men advanced upon the car.

The officer was unconscious, as was Jason. “What do we do with the pig?” Guillermo asked.

“Leave him,” Marcos answered. “Our only instructions were to take the kid.”

“His father will be happier than a giggling Hilton twin to know he’s alive,” Victor commented, carrying Jason’s limp body to the van. “But do you think he’ll pay?”

“He’ll pay, if he ever wants to see his son again.”

    I love the attempt at “conversation”, and the kid being rich certainly explains a bit more about what he’s all about. Great twist too with a real kidnapping.

    I love this.

    But…what are you going to do when they all go to sleep?

    Stay tuned for the answer to that and many other questions I’ve asked while watching the hit show 24 on Fox (just thought I’d throw in a plug for no apparent reason).

    Muahaha… this makes me miss watching 24. I love the detail you put into the conversation between the boy and the cop, however brief it was.

    I haven’t seen 24, but I hear it’s addictive. Now I’m beginning to understand why!
