The Ransom Call
In the simple, neat town of Neride, April Bartoli was waking up for the first day back at Northside Middle School. She forces herself up out of bed, rubbing her eyes. She goes through her normal routine of picking out clothes to straightening her hair and packing her school bag. Her parents have already commuted to work, both being well paid doctors, so she has to walk to school. Nearly instantly after stepping outside her large wooden front door, she hears a shout from the left direction. Her friend Natasha welcomes her with a good morning and they go on their way. The bell rings,the first day of school is underway. April and Natasha share first period in Spanish class. Neither of them enjoys the class, although they are both …show more content…
Tony and Lisa go back to the lab and test the fingerprints and bullet. The bullet belongs to an M1911 which is a very common handgun and would be impossible to trace. Next they test the fingerprints.

“Oh my. Did he say anything else such as if he would give her back?” Lisa asked.
“Yes. He told us we can have April back for the cost of five hundred thousand dollars. He wanted the briefcase of money under the bench on the west side of the park downtown at eight o'clock sharp tomorrow night.” said Mrs. Bartoli.
“Well, is the money a problem for you?” Lisa asked.

Lisa and Tony made a couple quick phone calls and were now ready for the insane day to come.
With that, the conversation ended and the Bartoli’s were ready to have their wonderful daughter back.
