“This must be him,” Walter whispered.
Abby wanted to pay the ransom, but Walter insisted they contact the police. On their way to the station, a text arrived: “One warning. Call the cops, and your baby’s gone.”
Fearful, they decided to comply. Walter retrieved the money and delivered it to the locker near the pier. But when he opened it, the money was gone—stolen through a hole cut into the back.
Returning home, Walter discovered something shocking: Abby had vanished, taking her belongings with her. Confused and devastated, he realized she wasn’t a victim—she was behind the kidnapping.
Walter sought help from the maternity hospital, where a doctor called Abby under the pretense of urgent news about Logan. Her frantic response confirmed Walter’s suspicions.
Abby demanded more money, claiming Logan was ill. Walter complied, but this time he alerted authorities. At the hospital, he saw his brother, James, holding Logan. FBI agents swooped in, arresting both Abby and James for orchestrating the abduction.
“You think you’ve won?” Abby spat as they cuffed her. “Logan isn’t even yours. You couldn’t give me a child, remember?”
Walter froze at her words, but it didn’t matter. Logan was safe, and Walter vowed to protect him from anyone who threatened his well-being—even his own family.
