Here is Entry 2
It had all started with that stupid note in the bottle.
Why did it have to be me to find that stupid bottle?
She’d been walking along the beach near her beach shack and found the note with the ransom demand in it. Kelly had phoned the police and they had gotten the young mother back but the kidnapper had been stopped from getting his money.
And that had been when the trouble had started for her. Some journalist had found out it was her who’d found the note and she’d ended up on the front page of the local newspaper. Tonight when she got home from work she had been greeted by a gun and a madman. Not the best start to her weekend off.
“Where is he?!” shouted her kidnapper.
“I don’t know I hardly know the guy” I shouted back which was true Detective Mike had interviewed her and had asked to have a coffee with her tomorrow.
The kidnapper had asked her to ring Mike and then had snatched the phone and started making demands. Kelly had not really paid attention especially a week of catering to other people’s demands. Though she had made out a midnight deadline.
It was now 11.55pm
The lights suddenly went out. Then the madman was being cuffed and led away.
“You ok?” asked Detective Mike
“Just glad its over!” Kelly said.
“I’m sorry you got dragged into this!”
“Oh shut up and kiss me.” I said and he did.
Janet Tronstad's Comments - Creative use of bottle for ransom note. Detective Mike is a great hero.
Love the kidnap theme -- and Detective Mike is great. Good job in setting up the story here. Thanks for sharing it. Also like that the heroine takes the initiative!
