The Haunted Hostage (Part 1 of 6)
Detective Alec Green's Mystery Stories*
Help me is his constant cry,
All tied up, rich clothes looked like rags.
He looked like a dog's bait all sun dried and dragged.
Don't listen if you can try.
Or you'll go mad but I think he would rather that than die.
To the whispers of the ghost, a house that is haunted by souls.
But a man who cries. It wants to console.
Come to me, escape. It says.
But the man begged on his knees to leave him alone, as he felt like his mind betrays.
For he was tied up for weeks, by a kidnapper who's eyes for greed are so large.
That only the richest family will have their son back.
Or he will get electric-charged and at a young age, get a heart attack.
Who will help this family in tears?

A group of people barged into his office unannounced. Felix and Alec were in the office chatting when they saw the group of people walking in. Felix immediately directed them to some seats and they sat down on the opposite side on the deck.

''What is the situation you are in that made you come to us last minute?'' Alec asked.
''Our son has been taken hostage by our own enemy, my husband. He wants to murder his own son because I have put all my family's inheritance under his name. My parents had given it to me before they had passed away and now I gave it to my son. Now my husband wants to kill him for it.'' The woman cried.
''Tell me, what is the reason behind your husband's greed that he is willing to kill his flesh and blood for it?'' Alec asked.
''Before my husband came into my life, he was a completely different person. He was not wealthy either but I did crave for an ordinary life. He used to love the way my parents' mansion looked,...
