The Final Countdown Novel Novels & Stories

“A church. Outside the city. Abandoned.” The man nodded. “Under the altar.” Silence crashed down between them. “You have until the countdown ends,” the man said calmly. “Come alone. Or we start removing pieces you love.” The screen went black. The countdown resumed. 22:59:41 Isabella stared at the phone, horror settling deep in her bones. “They will never stop,” she whispered.

Will this be enough to exchange for my daughter's freedom?"
