Ransom

"Remember the Six Million Dollar Man," Billy asked. "He was one bad ass robot."

"He wasn't no robot, he uh, uh... a cyborg," chirped Johnny.

"Cyborg?"

"One of those dudes with machine parts in 'em. Cyborg." With that last word, Johnny nodded emphatically, like there was no way Billy couldn't get it.

"Don't know nothing 'bout cyborgs, but I'd kidnap that guy in a heartbeat.  Solve our problems." Billy said. "He'd be six billion dollar man today."

"And how you catch him? Can't even catch a mouse."

"For that ransom money," Billy said. "I'd figure it. And I'd show you."
