“A lighter sentence? How funny!” Barnaby pressed the knife harder against Natalie’s neck. “I want to leave safely, and you have to give me enough money too. Otherwise, I’ll drag this woman to hell with me.”

A typical threat, but it only worked because Natalie’s life was in his hands.

“I want a helicopter, and I want a hundred million in virtual currency downloaded into a wristwatch!” Barnaby glanced at the young woman in his arms. “I don’t have much patience.
