September 20, 2006
It was a morning just like many others for self-made millionaire Conrad Cain, his wife Ellie, their precocious fifteen-year-old son, Leopold, and his little sister, Alice. Like clockwork, Leopold's driver, Virgil, arrives to escort his young charge to school. But the Cains' calm is shattered by tragedy when, as Leopold and classmate Alfred Masters are en route to school, what looks like just another routine traffic tie-up in Manhattan turns out to be a carefully planned abduction that leaves Virgil for dead and places the young Cain in the hands of a ruthless kidnapper whose sights are set on a multi-million dollar ransom.

Realizing that he may still be hiding inside the building, Knapp and King then hurry back to the burned out office only to find the police officer guarding the scene dead and Schroeder having slipped away wearing his uniform.
