5 Money Bags

It’s something we should have expected, but something we never thought would actually happen. The 24th bodyguard wasn’t really a bodyguard. And if he was the only one, no problem, it would have been 1 fake body guard to 25 real ones, but more than half were just kidnappers, aimed on getting a high ransom.
They pulled their guns and pointed them on the real bodyguards, and the 2 other fake body guards pointed them at us.
“Stay quiet and nobody gets hurt,” one of the kidnappers said to us. Tinsley was holding back sobs. If you have ever seen a kidnapping movie, this is usually a lie. Someone always gets hurt, and Tinsley was worth the most.
They forced us each into a bag, and I’m not sure what happened to the real body guards, but when Bodyguard Joe Smith tried to do something to help us, he was shot.
I felt my bag being lifted off the ground and dropped through one of the huge windows. At first I thought they were killing me, but then I was caught and stuffed into what I assume was the trunk of a car.
