  Jonathan knew there was nothing he could do about it. His assailants were too well prepared. All he had to do now was wait for 72 hours for his father to pay the ransom of #500,000 - or else he would be drowned. This is the story of those 72 hours and its effect on Jonathan, his parents, and the kidnappers.
