you painstakingly. I want to keep you by my side and toy with you slowly so that you suffer a fate worse than death. Only then will vengeance be mine.”While speaking, he shoved Winnie into a classroom filled with other students.By then, the police had arrived and quickly surrounded the classroom. Because children were being held hostage, the police took extraordinary precautions.Soon, negotiations between both sides began.The police agreed to all of Harold’s demands on account of the hostages but asked for time to make preparations.With that, both sides fell into a temporary standoff.To prevent snipers from shooting through the windows, Harold’s men had barricaded them with tables and chairs.One of the tables had an exposed nail that Winnie discreetly ground against the belt that was restraining her.Unable to see what was behind her, she accidentally cut herself a few times while doing so.Nevertheless, her persistence was soon rewarded when she managed to cut one of them loose.With a little use of her dexterity, she finally managed to free herself from her restraints.Despite her newly won freedom, she pretended that nothing had happened.While Harold and his subordinates were softly hashing out their next steps, she seized upon the opportunity to peek out through the gaps in the windows.The outside was crawling with SWAT officers and two figures in protective clothing.She recognized one of them to be Lisanne from the figure’s silhouette.When she couldn’t see any sign of Xavier in the crowd, she figured that James must have kept his promise to stop him from coming.With that thought in mind, Winnie retracted her gaze.Glancing at the old clock in the room, Winnie noticed that the deadline Harold had given the police had arrived.This time, Harold will definitely drive the car deeper into the thick forest.
