What they did not imagine, was that the innkeeper who very carefully attended them, was a vile delinquent disguised as a sheep, this guy worked for an organized gang that was dedicated to robbery, robbery, kidnapping and prostitution of children in all caracas.
Mateo and Laura with their little girl that day went up to their room to rest, from the long trip from France to Venezuela, and before they bounded the couple commented to each other, how appetizing the food was, and that despite the grotesque the size, it looked totally delicious, so they planned to go that same afternoon to that place to try the hamburger that wanted mateo and the hot dog that Laura wanted and commented that the little girl would buy a hamburger in Mc'Donalds.
It's time to leave and as the innkeeper said on the outskirts of the hotel he was waiting for him with a taxi with dark glasses, the young couple without any suspicion walked towards the vehicle, they could not imagine what they were about to live, all It was running normally and they rolled for a few minutes to a place where there were many fast food stalls, and they accentuated their trust between the innkeeper and their taxi driver, but he killed if he noticed suddenly that the driver of the taxi, gave him a kind of signal , with the view, the innkeeper but the innkeeper, telling him about an anecdote, about the Caracas burgers, and after a moment he stopped giving importance to the signal that was made between them, when they were about to get off they remembered that they had to go to the Mc'Donalds to buy the food for the girl, and Mateo told the innkeeper that he was the only one who knew the language, since in his job they demanded it, talked to the taxi driver and went On the "Mc'Donalds" closest and made their respective purchase, and back to the place where they finally went to eat their craved hamburgers and dogs, the innkeeper pulls a gun and tells the young couple to stay quiet that everything was going to happen very quickly, Matteo is exalted and for fear that something will happen to his daughter, he attacks the innkeeper and without hesitation he does not shoot him, hit the projectile in his stomach, the girl screams desperately along with laura, both cry for mateo lying on the car seat almost losing consciousness, suddenly the vehicle stops and the two guys get out of the taxi, at that time another vehicle type vans, stops to the side and forced to lower laura and the frightened girl, in what they ride in the other vehicle they put a handkerchief in her mouth, with a chemical that made them lose consciousness to both, hours later they wake up terrified in a dark room, they had them kidnapped, lue Many hours without a sense of time orientation brought them food, and ironically the food they brought was burger and hot dog, the kidnappers took Laura out of that dark room and took her to a place where she would be forced to transfer her delinquents in a US dollar account, a large sum of money, if you wanted to see your daughter alive again, Laura, accept that your daughter's life is at stake.
After a few hours later, they could make the payment, and everything turned out as planned by the criminals, but what Laura did not know was that the innkeeper's face was compromised and that they did not intend to release them .....
