Popular Hollywood Couple Narrowly Escapes Abduction
On October 18th of this year,Hollywood “it” couple Cassidy James and David Young were getting ready for a night out on the town when the unthinkable happened. A pair of escaped criminals set on kidnapping the couple and holding them for ransom found their way into James’ and Young’s prestigious apartment building. How,you ask,did two scoundrels like this manage to enter such an upscale establishment? Well,it was just a matter of good timing. The criminals entered the building’s lush lobby around 8:30 pm to find the building’s security guard fast asleep in his armchair. Knowing an opportunity when they saw one,the two men whose identities have not yet been given out took the elevator to the building’s seventeenth floor. Once in the hallway right outside of the couple’s apartment,the criminals knew they would have to come up with a plan.
While the kidnappers planned in the hallway,James and Young were having another one of their arguments that they are known for. James,who had been preparing a light dinner for the two before their excursion,refused to turn on their security system because she was too busy. Young claimed that he,busy downloading music,was also too busy to activate the system. It was a whole ten feet away,and that was just too far to walk. So the couple decided to have a silence contest where the first person who spoke would have to turn the security system on. The two went twenty or so minutes without a problem,and it was looking like the apartment was just never going to be secured. That’s when they heard the men outside. “I’ll grab the valuables…” “And I’ll get to kiss the Cassidy James. Talk about a dream come true!” The young couple was more than a little shaken to overhear such a conversation,but James held out. Young didn’t have as much composure. “Get out before I call the cops!” the young man yelled from the couch that he was still sitting on. The criminals,surprised by the sudden noise,fled. They ran down seventeen flights of stairs and made it as far as a block from the building before being apprehended by authorities.
After being taken into custody,the two men admitted that they’d planned to kidnap the couple. The couple,seemingly unfazed by the event,went out to a local band’s show later that night. They did,however,remember to turn their security system on when they came home that night,and the night watchman was given a four-pack of Redbull,just in case.
