Jane Howard and Amelia Walker, knowing that the snake was not venomous, still couldn't bring themselves to approach the slimy, soft creature.
"Have you been in contact with the kidnappers all along?"
This was a very serious matter, and it wasn't easy for the two women to tell the truth. Jane said, "We didn't collude with the kidnappers. Apart from the few calls they made, we haven't had any other contact with them!"
Amelia also said, "My son has been kidnapped too. Would I conspire with the kidnappers to kidnap my own son? You got it wrong! Let us go!"
The man sneered, "It seems you're not willing to tell the truth!"
Amelia became anxious and yelled, "This is the truth! Why won't you believe it? Even if you send poisonous snakes to bite us to death, my answer will still be the same!"
"Oh really? Let's see about that!"
The voice disappeared.
