The cough had made Edward chuckle before he responded to her condition. " I'd say you're harming the merchandise as well Landis. " He said before chuckling a bit while being glared at from the young man who took the cigarette from his lips and then threw it onto the cement ground before digging the tip of his shoe into it, extinguishing the flame and smoke that was causing her the trouble. " Funny. " He mentioned before looking over the girl and then leaning down to face her before having given a large hum of thought while staring at her.

" Is she actually worth that much? " He had asked out loud, insulting her worth to her family. Landis never saw much of parental affection or value for children when he grew up, why anybody would consider paying to get this girl back was a wonder to him. " I mean, she doesn't really look worth a few millions.. " He said before resting his arm on the headrest of the chair, his hand having tapped her head in thought as if she was nothing more than a surface for him. " Maybe we can sell her to the slave market actually.. " He mused at the thought, humming in discontent before shaking his head at the idea. " Maybe her body could be sold for organs in Brazil? No, too risky. " He said as he responded to another idea he had. Edward having only chuckled as he watched the scene unfold before him between the girl's fate and Landis's indecision.

" You're my friend so I'll let you have it. But as your friend, I beg you not to use it. You see... he'll get the job done, he always does. Nothing can stop him. Anything between him and his target goes down....but you can't call him off. Once you call that number, whatever he does is on your Hands. "

A simple ransom. One bloated man that was greedy for more, nothing new. His business was simple, hold the person until the money was transferred and then release them, it prevented people from figuring out or finding the person they've kidnapped. If, by chance, the other were to get caught by the police while attempting to get the money then they would have no information as to how to find the kidnappers - Business was Good.

The group while spanning from a large and wide world only consisted of four people. And all four came from the same orphanage, they grew up together through the hard times and desperate moments surviving on nothing more but one another. Jackie was a girl in her late teens with long black hair that covered half her face, a small piercing along her lip but an excellent technological expert - she kept an eye on the bank accounts, phone calls, transactions, and hacking information for the group. Edward was the brute muscle, a large 6'1 foot with the body of a pro football player but an excellent driver when it came to either beating a person or simply escaping. Shadow, a name he adopted himself, was known for simply being sneaky and a lock-picker, any doors or areas that aren't accessible to him is pretty easy to get through - he doesn't stay with the group so much and thus was given his name.

Edward and Shadow were the ones who had captured the target, the snake having simply snuck up on her before knocking her out with a simple blow. Getting her out wasn't so hard when most of the camera's and people hadn't realized what was going on, the hacking and boredom of the day having gotten to them. They had taken her to the outskirt of town where they had set up a place - a broken down house on the outside but the basement itself was set up to home a few people if needed be, the space around the home itself set up with security as well. Edward watched as the girl began to work with her restraints with little success, snickering as he saw this scene all too many times.

" You were taking a while to get outside. " Landis, the leader, had said while walking downstairs into the room just in time to notice the girl begin to move. He was young for his occupation, kidnapping at the age of 19 had shocked most people when they finally received the opportunity to meet him, though his mind was what made him unparalleled to others. " I was beginning to think we'd have to break in to get you but...I'll bet this one on luck, just this once. " He said as he walked up to the girl and then patted her head, having watched her twitch in pain before realizing what had happened. " You bruised the merchandise. " He said with a rather serious tone before Edward seemed to stand his own ground. " It was Shadow who got her, I simply tied her to the chair. " He explained while Landis glared over at the man before sighing. The smell of tobacco in the air having been the first thing to be caught by the girl, it was a weak trace but the toxic scent was already beginning to tickle at her lungs.
