Surprises

This novel has just started to get very interesting and addictive. In my last blog I mentioned Luke being kidnapped. The kidnapper was just an armature  and he was just fulfilling a bargain. His name was Eric, and he worked in a bank. It turns out that the fifty million dollars was transferred to him to hide in multiple different accounts. Someone found this out, and found out who he was, so they kidnapped his girlfriend and told him that they would trade her for Luke. But why Luke?  Luke was just an ordinary man, didn't have many friends, was an orphan. The only family Luke had was his step father Henry. The book later on reveals that the man who was given the fifty million was Henry, and he lead a terrorist organization known as the Night Road. Furthermore, the person who gave him the money was the Prince of England. But back to Luke, after being kidnapped Eric arrived at a house where a woman, on the phone with him, told him his girlfriend was. They entered the house and found her in a room on a metal bed, Eric let her out and as promised left Luke on the bed while being detained by chains. Luke overheard Eric using a voice modifier on the phone with Henry saying that the only way he could get Luke back is by giving them the fifty million dollars.  Luke was completely baffled, how would Henry get fifty million? he was clueless. Despite his terrorism, it seems Henry had a heart for Luke, he promised Luke's mother that he would take care of him before she died.

The chapters after Luke's kidnapping led to even more action and surprises, what would you say surprised you the most? and why is that?
