I closed my eyes, waiting for the pain.
It never came.
I opened my eyes, and Dave was on the
ground.
Leo had arrived!
While they were fighting, I grabbed the knife
to cut through the rope.
The knots were too tight.
Dave, even though he had the knife, was
getting tired.
With a yell, he charged at me.
Blood splattered on my face, and Leo took a
blow for me.
A second, a third blow.
Dave was out of control.
“Leo, run!”
I managed to stand up and get in front of Leo
when, thank God, the cops showed up.
The second I saw Dave get hauled away, I
passed out.
