A long time ago in the Sahara Desert the Jefferson family were blackmailed by their Step-Father. He told them that he would tell the police what they did if they didn’t give him one million Euro.
The family were very scared. They didn’t want the police to find out their crime. So they went to the bank to get a loan. The bank didn’t want to give them the money so they only got half a million Euro. So then they went to the meeting place which was the beach. They brought the half a million Euro. The man took it but he wouldn’t let them go and trapped them underground because he didn’t get his full amount of money.
The whole family was anxious. It was getting dark. They had no food and the oxygen was dying out. No one knew where they were. They tried scrapping the dirt with their hands to get out but it didn’t work. They also tried screaming but no one was there to hear them.
Their evil step-father took the missing baby with him. He rang the police and pretended to be someone else and he left the baby in a bar. The police got the baby and brought it back to its real parents. Back at the beach the Jefferson’s little girl had an asthma attack. She had used up all of her inhaler yesterday. She passed away in about ten minutes. The rest of the family were so upset that they just gave up.
In the morning the police dug them out but it was too late. They were gone. The police found fingerprints on the abandoned baby’s clothes and tracked down the killer. They captured him and sent him to jail. Ten years later he was executed.
