- "Hey bro" - "Hey sis, what's up?" - "Actually I've got something to ask you. Did you get any news from our parents in the past days?" - "Humm, no, nothing since a while now, why do you ask?" - "I'm kinda worried. They always keep us informed of their whereabouts, it's been almost 3 days..." - "Relax sis', they are probably in a place where there is no service or having too much good time to stop and give a call, they'll reach us sooner or later, you know how world trip work. " - "Yeah but step-Mommy promised to send news at least once a day. And I didn't even get a text or email...She always managed to send words to say they're safe at least, but nothing recently..." - "I'm sure they're fine. There must be an explanation. Don't worry, maybe we'll get some news in couple of hours. Try not to think too much about that." - "Yeah... I might be imagining things.. It's just that I feel a bad feeling... Anyway, you're right, let's wait few more hours before worrying for real. See ya." The you'd left the room and the scene would end. The video would follow with another short scene that'd start pretty much the same way as the previous except this time you act scared : - " Bro! Bro ! Look at this email! " - "Wowow sis' why the fuss. Calm down please..." - "you don't understand, read that!" You would hand your phone to your partner that would pretend reading couple of seconds then say : - "ho fuck... What the fuck..." - "I told you I had a bad feeling! What are we going to do! What are they going to do to our parents?! I'm scared bro!" - "alright alright, I think we should probably do as they say, not call the police and connect to that website, at least to prove we care and got their email.." - "yes.. Yes let's do that.. Hopefully we'll see that our parents are safe and we'll do our best to get them out of here..." There the short would end and the next one would follow. There you'd pretend to be watching a computer screen. Can be a laptop or whatever you dispose of, the goal is to act as you discuss with the looters through the screen. The filming could be done with you facing the screen, either siting or standing, a bit from above. You could talk first and start with something like acting a bit panicked : - "Okay we're here. Can you see and hear us? Where are our parents?!" Your partner would try to calm things saying something like : - "We connected as you requested. We will do whatever it takes to satisfy you and to have our parents back, but we need to make sure they're safe so far, please.." There you act as if you were shown a picture of the parents tied and gagged but apparently safe, so you'd continue, with an anxious tone : - "step-Mommy! step-Daddy! Are you OK?? We'll get you out! I promise. Hang in there!" Your partner to continue : - "Thank you... Now what so you want to free them?" Acting as reading then shocked, you would say : - "Five... five hundred thousand... Half a million... You.. You cannot be serious..." - "Jesus guys we... We don't have that kind of money... I don't know how much we can gather but it will never be anywhere close to that amount...." - "My bro and I we... we are still at the university... We are not rich! Neither are our parents! You must have made a mistake!" Acting as reading them threatening your parents, you'd answer with fear in the voice : - "No! No! We'll do our best.. Please.... Please don't hurt them. We will give you everything we have, we can borrow some money, we... Give us a chance! Please!" Again acting as answering a message your partner would say : - "well can sell our cars, some furnitures, use our university money, maybe borrow here and there... I'm sure we could gather 25 thousand if you give us couple of days..." Another message reading. You'd answer : - "I told you we're not rich. This is the best me can do, and we would have to stop our studies, being in debts with friends and family... I swear..." Well don't hesitate to tell me if you're not comfortable and I won't bother you any more. If you're still interested here is the next : Another message reading, your partner : - "There must be a way for you to get what you expect and for us to get our parents back... Please... We'll do anything.. There must be some service we could do you that would be more valuable than our money..." Another message, and you: - "Yes of course! We love our parents. We'll do everything to set them free. I swear! Anything to prove you we mean it!" Another message and your partner : - "Of course we love each others. We're siblings. I love her as much as my parents.." (now consider that when I write "(...)" it's to figure another fake message
