remembered to post the letter.

　　Kev pulled the bag off Jane's head and she saw the gun a few centimetres from her eyes."I'm going to untie this cloth round your mouth，"Kev said."If you scream，I'll put a bullet through your head.This gun is silenced，no one will hear anything."

　　They untied the cloth and pulled her chair over to the wall，where the phone was.The gun was pointing at her head all the time.

　　"Do just what we tell you，"Anna said."And everything will be all right."

　　Jane was suddenly wild with anger.She said，"You're Anna，aren't you？My father loves you-he thinks you're wonderful.But you don't care about him at all，do you？You wish the bomb had killed him."
