December 23, 2020: A small distinguished group was invited to an unofficial year-end celebration at the office in the stadium. Around the same time, Severin gathers with the core members of the Eagles a little away from the imposing West Stand to honor Mik, who jumped to his death there two years ago. The mourning is abruptly interrupted when two black vans rush onto the ramp and five masked individuals jump out. With brute force, they gain access to the offices and soon force a good dozen hostages into the vehicles. Severin and Kevin follow the vehicles and have to watch as the bus, which Tim also had to board, goes up in flames. Stunned in shock, it is easy for the perpetrators to overpower the two. Eintracht spokesperson Lydia does everything she can to assist Severin and the police. In doing so, she is particularly reliant on the help of the Eintracht Eagles. But time is running out. If the kidnappers' demands are not met by the next day, there will be a bloody Christmas Eve. Particularly perverse: the demanded ransom is based on the transfer market.
