draped it around his body. | then hugged him tightly to warm him with the warmth of my body. However, my

heavy. | could not lift him up at all.
| saw a rope next toand tied us together. | shuffled out of the freezer room with much difficulty while
speaking into the earpiece, "I found the freezer, Mr. Cook. I'm not sure how long Theo was in there, but his body
is already stiff and he's also unconscious.

more severe condition than me. | could barely feel his breathing.
| kept rubbing his hand and talking to him, praying that he would wake up.
If Solomon did not know that we were in danger and continued to wait for us outside, were we going to die here?
The feeling of waiting for the doom of oneself and one's loved one was simply too anguishing.

no matter how I looked at it.

love Wanda, Mr. Grant. You refused to compromise even after staying hours in the freezer, but you compromised
