The kidnappers are demanding five million US dollars for his release. The native Harold did not know the crazy plan of his superiors. A day before his kidnapping, Harold, Richard, and Elaine went to Mexico, where they saw the head of Promethium’s Mexico plant, Sanchez. Harold was not told that Sanchez was going to sell Promethium’s newest product, which is medical marijuana, in the shape of a pill, in the market of a Mexican cartel. What will Harold Soyinka do? Will he be able to save himself from this crazy plan?  What will Richard Rusk and Elaine Markinson go to do? The rest of the story deals with it.
