"Daddy! Please let me go! I promise, I wouldn't insist on anything after this."
"It's not safe for you. You are well aware of the incidents that are happening nowadays, especially at crowded places. "
"I knew Dad, but it is an international talent exhibition, and there would be tight security there."
Jimmy was convincing his dad to attend the painting exhibition, which was going to be held in another city. He was fifteen and the only child of his parents. He had a great love for paintings. Although he was not a painter but he had a great love for artwork. He planned with his friends to attend the exhibition, but his father was not allowing him to go, as he was scared of the current circumstances. His wife was also supporting JimmyIt's"It's been a long time since we've brought him anywhere for an outing, so let him go."
"I'm just worried about his safety; otherwise I don't have any objection."
His father was convinced after a while. Jimmy got excited and informed his friends. He started preparing for the trip.
"Mama! What should I wear?"
He asked his Mom while he held two dresses. One was a grey shirt with blue jeans, and the other was a black tracksuit.
"I think this black tracksuit would be the best option." She replied.
"Alright, Mom!"
"What's about the ride? Who would drop you to the exhibition centre?"
"Mom! Ali's father has promised us that his driver will drive a Land Cruiser."
"This is so nice of him. Now I am at peace."
"Now go and sleep as you would have to wake up early tomorrow. "
"Alright,ight Mom! Good night!"
Jimmy went into his room and kept all the important things in his bag. It was just a day trip, so there was not much needed for it. After that, he tried to sleep, but his excitement wouldn't let him. The next day, he woke up early and got ready for the trip. Soon, his friends were at his door to pick him up.
Their journey started at 8 am, and after almost three hours, they were at the exhibition centre. Jimmy's happiness was at its peak when to reached there. The centre was filled with beautiful paintings, and there was a large crowd of people there who were appreciating the great work of the artists. Jimmy's eyes were startled to see the beautiful paintings.
"Omg...look at this! Isn't that beautiful? It must be the work of a great artist." He said to his friend.
"You are right, there is no doubt."
"I wish I could buy it one day."
Jimmy not only praised the work of artists but also captured the paintings in his phone by seeking permission. They spent almost two hours there and enjoyed it to the fullest.
"I think now we should go home," Jimmy said to his friends.
"I heard there is a huge park near. Why not visit it?" His friend said to him.
"We can get late."
"Nothing would happen, we will be back soon."
"But I think we should inform our parents first."
After informing their parents, they went to visit the park. It was a huge and beautiful park. They had great fun there. After that, they went to have their lunch in the nearby hotel. Now it was 4 pm. They set off for their homes. On the way, their car got punctured. There was no workshop nearby, and it was a desolate area. The driver tried to sort out the problem, but it was beyond his understanding. They waited for one hour to get some help, but no one arrived. After a while, they saw a black Vigo heading towards them. They got some hope.
"I think we should seek help from the driver of the Vigo," Jimmy said to his friends.
Just then, the Vigo stopped near them, and three men ran out of it with guns.
"Hands up! You are all now kidnapped. "
Jimmy and his friends got scared, and their legs were trembling with fear. They tied their hands and mouths and dropped them in their Vigo.
On the other hand, their parents were worried as they were not able to contact their children. Jimmy's parents received a call from an unknown number, and they demanded a huge amount.
"Your son is kidnapped! If you want us to return your hostage safely, pay us one million rupees. "
Jimmy's parents were extremely worried and were unable to believe it. They contacted with parents of Jimmy's friends, and they also told them about the same call.
"Now, what would we do? How would we pay this huge amount?" Jimmy's mother said to her husband.
"Don't worry! We would find some way."
They informed the police about the tragedy.
"You would go there with a bag of money, and we will secretly try to save them." The police inspector told them.
Jimmy and his friend's parents arrived at the place where the kidnappers told them to come. The kidnappers were already there. They handed over the bags to kidnappers, which were filled with fake money. But before the kidnappers could check the money, the police asked them to surrender as they were surrounded by the police.
Soon, the police recovered the children from the kidnappers and caught them. The parents were happy to see their children safe and sound. They thanked the police and left for their homes.
