to go there?" - His voice thickened.
She shrugged. "No... I went to look for my rubber boots"
"Do not go over there!" - He ordered and looked at his face in the mirror. Soon the blood was running down his chin.

Amelia said, imagining terrible things about firearms.
"That's fine"

"Pick him up!" - Said the bandit with blue eyes.
Then Walter was holding through his arms and they make him kneeling again. The man armed pointed the gun to him with intent to shoot their brains out and end all at once.
"Do not!" - Walter said, thinking of his daughter Amelia. At that time, his mind took only the sweet image of her daughter.
