This is a little idea I wanted to dabble with, but if anyone likes it I'll continue!
His first plan had been flawed, he hadn't known how else to get the money besides to rob a small town bank. He'd picked Stars Hollow, a sleepy little town that couldn't have much security. But then he found another way, one that was much easier. It would have been harder to rob a bank than snatch a girl off the street.
So he began his search for the perfect hostage. He studied the lives of everyone in the town, trying to find just the right person. He found his answer very quickly. Who would make a better hostage than a young girl that is emotionally attached to practically everyone in the town and the granddaughter of a wealthy household?
So he planned the abduction perfectly. He memorized her school schedule as well as the schedule for her outside of school life, which wasn't too easy because the girl and her mother didn't always have a plan. It was just an added bonus that this girl didn't have a father, he could pick any damned moment he wanted to grab her, even if her mother was present.
That wasn't how he was going to do it, though. He was going to mess with the mother's mind just enough to drive her crazy and make her willing to do anything to get her daughter back. Taking the kid when no one was looking meant it looked more like a disappearance than a kidnapping to the police, and they wouldn't investigate for a full twenty-four hours. If he presents that he has the girl just after that, the woman will be desperate for her child. It's like toying with a mother bear and her cub, use her instincts to make her fear the worst.
He was going to snatch her up during her walk home from the bus stop, and he was infuriated when a tall boy met her as she hopped off the last step. He left the bus stop and promised to come back the next day.
But as he was walking home, he noticed the tall boy go into the market, he was taking a shift he normally didn't have today. The girl continued her walk home after they kissed goodbye. The street was empty; it was like the girl had been delivered to him if he would take her at just this moment.
I know this is REALLY short but I want to know if people have any interest before I continue with it. So if you like it and want me to continue please review!
