““Alice?” Jim shouted, lunging toward the phone.
“See, she’s fine,” the kidnapper was back to whispering. “And we’re done with the chitchat. You’re going to bring the suitcase to the small beach across and below you. Put it in the shaved-ice stand. You’ll find directions there for collecting your friend. I want you to drop the case exactly at midnight. And if I see anyone but you, I’ll cut Red’s head off.
