Walter returns home from work to find his baby son crying. His wife has tried everything to quiet their son, but nothing works. Walter decides to check the crib and is shocked by what he finds there.An ear-splitting wail echoed through the house as Walter entered from the garage. His wife, Abby, sat in the kitchen, and by the distressed look on her face, he knew Logan’s cries were bothering her again. “Oh, honey,” he says and hugs her from behind. “How long has he been crying like that?” “I’ve tried everything, Walter!” Abby broke down into sobs. “He’s been fed, changed, bathed, and burped! I even took his temperature! I don’t know what to do now. He keeps crying!” After becoming parents a month ago, everything in the couple’s lives changed. And if there was something that really distressed Walter, it was Logan’s cries.”Come, we’ll figure this out together,” Walter said and took Abby to Logan’s room.

If you want to see your baby again, leave $200,000 in the luggage storage lockers near the pier. If you go to the police, you’ll never see him again.” “Oh my God!” Abby gasped. “What does it mean? Was I rude to someone? Were you? Who would kidnap Logan?”Walter recalled the janitor he’d mistreated at the maternity hospital. He was bringing a cute bear-shaped pot for Abby while she was admitted to the hospital, but the pot broke when he tripped over the janitor’s broom. Furious, Walter called the man awful names, and the janitor said, ” You’ll regret it!” “We’ll have to go to the police, honey,” Walter said, snapping out of his thoughts. “It must be him!” “What? The note says we’ll never see Logan again if we go to the police, Walter. We should just pay the ransom!”
