When the glass was mostly broken they all climbed through, and they went straight for the downstairs to grab the girl. “You’re coming with us,” said the guy in the white coat in a deep, low, stern voice.

I grew interest into wanting to know how she felt about this unfair situation, however it was prohibited to step near her or inside the white soldier’s tent.…
