We could only catch bits and pieces of the conversation, nothing that we could piece together to tell us how long we had until the money was to be delivered. I sat there and wondered if they would really kill us if they didn't get the money. I wondered if they would kill us even if they got the money.

We quickly found the footprints in the snow and began following them……..I came up beside James Ernest and looked down at the end of the prints. It looked like the person had done a circle in the snow, moved back and forth, and sure as I stood there, the person had disappeared.“How do you explain that?” Tucky asked as he stood there beside us looking down at the same thing we were.James Ernest shook his head from side-to-side. “Golly, he just disappeared,” Purty said, stating the obvious.
