"They want the switch done on the freeway," Frank Ellerson said.
"On the freeway?" asked B.A. with a frown.
Ellerson nodded. "Near the downtown cloverleaf. They can be on four different freeways in moments. Impossible to follow."
"difficult, yes," grinned Hannibal Smith, "but not impossible. Murdock, can you still borrow that chopper from your friend at the Van Nuys Airport?"
Murdock nodded.
"B.A., can you rig a couple of tracers, one for the money and one for their car?"
The hulking black nodded.
"Two?" Marjii Ellerson asked.
"They might expect one, but that'll be a decoy. Now tell me the rest"
Frank Ellerson pointed out on a map where they were supposed to fake car trouble. The kidnappers' car would probably pass by, check out the scene, and come back, stopping to "help." Frank said he and his wife had had to be there alone, or the kidnappers wouldn't stop. "That's all right." Hannibal said. "It's what happens after they get paid that counts."

Okay, it was the eighties and all, but there's no way the phrase "hulking black" flies.
It's Monday and you've got another vote to cast. You'll have until Tuesday night to decide.
Hey! As of today, I've posted for a week straight. Yay, me!
