Perry knew that throwing money at her captors may not be enough to secure her release, but that didn't stop her from begging for mercy. "I can pay you double," she pleaded loudly, desperation edging into her voice, "please don't hurt me." The tears began to build up in her eyes as she awaited a response."So, how much do you have?" One of the men asked teasingly, enjoying the power he held over her. Perry hurriedly offered to pay whatever they wanted, hoping it would be enough to secure her release.But her attempts at bargaining fell on deaf ears as the men's intentions became clear.

Perry, having finally mustered up the courage, asked the captors the reason for her kidnapping and pleaded for her release.

Suddenly, they erupted into a boisterous fit of laughter, the echoes of which bounced off the walls and penetrated Perry's very being, sending chills down her spine."I implore you, gentlemen, to reconsider. I have no quarrel with anyone, and I seek only to go about my peaceful life," Perry beseeched them, her voice trembling with fear.
