The ending I used in my second draft was very ambiguous. I left a lot of questions up in the air since the kidnappers were not caught, but actually on the loose and no one knows their whereabouts.

1. When police and the ambulances got to the scene Ben and Earl were knocked out from the crash. Samantha was in the trunk knocked out from the impact. The paramedics pried the trunk open to get Samantha from the trunk. As Sam arose from her sleep in the hospital bed she noticed her family around her. "Mom? Dad? Where am I?" said Samantha. "You're safe now Sam those bad men can't hurt you anymore," replied Samantha's mom.

2. At the end of the story the kidnappers are caught and put in jail. They then break out of jail a couple months later and find the girl they kidnapped (Samantha) looking for revenge on her and to claim their ransom money.

3. At the end of the story the people who they arrest are actually the wrong guys. They are used as decoys for the masterminds behind the kidnapping and there is actually much more to this kidnapping  than meets the eye.

These are all possible ideas I may use in my future draft, but I'm hesitant to change the one I have now because it leaves so many questions unanswered and I like the ambiguous ending.
