It was like time stopped, and all there was me and the possibility of getting my wife back. But the sad and messed up thing is that this is a scam.

I take a deep breath, and I place the phone back into my pocket as I continue my walk toward the conference room.

Once I reach the room, I push open the glass door, and the eyes of everyone in the room land on me.

“So, let’s get this meeting started, shall we?” I say in an authoritative and confident voice that immediately places me in control of the entire room.
