Christopher took off his jacket with trembling hands and carefully draped it over Sydney before hauling her up in his arms.
"Syd, I'll take you far away from this place. I'll never let you get hurt again." He walked out of the warehouse with Sydney in his arms. After he got into the car, Sydney remained lying in his arms.
