A lot of you are arguing over whether or not the narrator is the kidnapper. he probly isn't, but he may be.
When he says,
"Remember how THEY vowed to let that go
If your families paid the ransom
Well, I think you both should know
That that's not THEIR intention,"
that may mean that there is more then one kidnapper since he's usning plurals.
So maybe the narrator helped kidnap Mr. Edminton and Mr. Ledingworth, but he had other plans in his mind other than the ransom that the other kidnappers want. i.e., the job at the factory. So he's going traitor to set these guys free. at the end, he would have to escape too, so that's why he says,"Hurry before it's to late for us to escape."
