Walter came home to find his wife, Abby, in tears as their baby, Logan, screamed uncontrollably. But when they checked the crib, Logan was gone—replaced by a Dictaphone playing crying sounds and a chilling note: “I warned you you’d regret being cruel to me.”

Walter remembered the janitor he once insulted at the hospital. Convinced he was the kidnapper, Walter wanted to go to the police, but a text warned them not to—“Go to the police and your son goes in the water.”

Desperate, Walter followed the kidnapper’s instructions and delivered fake ransom money. He later confronted the janitor, who denied any involvement, revealing he was paid just to drop off a package. The locker he used was empty—someone had escaped through a hidden hole.

Returning home, Walter was stunned to find Abby missing too. That’s when it hit him—Abby staged the kidnapping. He went to the hospital and bribed a doctor to fake a call, claiming Logan had a serious genetic illness.

Abby, panicked, called Walter demanding real money, accusing him of sending fake bills. Walter realized this wasn’t over—but he’d do anything to get his son back.

Lesson: Sometimes, betrayal hides behind the ones you trust most.
