If I perceived that Laila was still in the building, like I suspected her to be, I had no qualms against run there. I didn’t care what happened to me. I would do whatever I needed to face any kind of danger to – to save her.
As I rounded the building, I saw Laila standing there, coated in soot and smoke but otherwise okay. Until Larry stuck a needle in her neck.
