-i? and Rudy figured the life-extending drugs no$ in their possession probably $ould

Almost simultaneously% each guardGs cell phone rang. Each listened to electronic%
synthesi?ed% disguised voices on the other end. #ear% panic% then terror-filled hopelessness
$ashed over them. A large @! van cruised alongside% the panel door open. A man $earing a
Barack ;bama mask and body armor held up a poster of Baines seven year-old daughter% her
innocent face smiling% front teeth missing. Then% the man produced a poster of 7im ReeferGs
mother sitting in the driverGs seat of her 5onda Civic% and finally one of -arsonGs thirteen year-
old daughter outside her >unior high school% talking $ith a friend. Baines and Reefer exchanged
panic-stricken glances.
The first voices on the phone had been those of Baines and -arsonGs $ives and ReeferGs
mother% each screaming in excruciating pain from gunshot $ounds to a foot. They $ere bleeding%
and a man held a gun to a foot of each guardGs child and to ReeferGs motherGs other foot. 4t $as
bedlam in all three houses. The voices $ere hysterical.
3lease give them the money=6 the t$o bleeding $ives and mother pleaded.
-istening to their loved ones sent chills through the guards.
The next voice each guard heard $as vicious% murderous% echoing the pleas of the
hostages. 34 already shot the bitch. The kid is next= All $e $ant is the money. By the $ay% if the

The three guards% overcome $ith anguish% struggled to hold back tears% but it $as
impossible. This nightmare $as real. Huietly conceding% Baines gave a helpless shrug and
follo$ed the truck. The phones disconnected and no one $as ans$ering on the other end.
