About this episode
Two people were disguised and waiting inside their big black truck in front of an apartment and kept an eye on a red sedan car for two hours. A lady and little boy hopped into the red car and pulled out of their garage. Someone had sent the big guns to follow them. When the lady took the highway heading to her son's doctor appointment, the two men got into gear. They were driving like road hogs behind her. The lady noticed that this shady car was following her. Her heart was pounding really fast. She locked up the car. She wasn't able to get a grip. She was actually scared to death. She put one hand on the steering wheel speeding up as fast as she could while she held her son’s hand with the other. She knew what was happening. She knew that these could be her last moments with her son. The black truck cut her off and had her car bashed beyond recognition. The criminals got down and went toward the red car. One of them raised his blade while the other one had cuffs in his hands. Neither the mother nor the son was able to fight back because they lost their consciousness. The little boy was pulled out from the car and was taken with his hands cuffed. The mother was left in her seat bleeding to death. The son was kidnapped. It was a tragedy because the son had nothing to do with the death of a mafia member that happened many moons ago. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wafa-damlaj/support
