I quickly climb over and see a piece of glass.<\/p>\n<p>I pick up the glass with difficulty and begin to cut the rope on my hand.<\/p>\n<p>The rope is not easy to cut. I&#8217;m so anxious that I cut it with all my might. So, I get a big wound on my hand.<\/p>\n<p>Blood flows down my palm, but I couldn&#8217;t feel the pain.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m worrying about Frances. I just want to go in quickly and make sure that nothing happens to him.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I cut the rope on my hand.<\/p>\n<p>Then I untie the ropes on my body and sprint towards the small house.<\/p>\n<p>Along the way, my heart almost jumps out of my throat.<\/p>\n<p>When I reach the small house, I stand outside, fearing to enter.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m afraid I&#8217;ll see Frances\u2019 cold body on the ground. I can&#8217;t even think about it. I can&#8217;t face the possibility.<\/p>\n<p>But I still gather my courage and walk in.<\/p>\n<p>There is a gun on the ground at the door.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m relieved me when I see Frances and Andrew fighting. And Frances has the upper hand.<\/p>\n<p>I carefully look at Frances\u2019 body. There seem to be no gunshot wounds. But I&#8217;m not sure, because he&#8217;s fighting with Andrew.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m still very worried.<\/p>\n<p>While Frances is not looking, Andrew picks up a brick and smashes it towards his head.<\/p>\n<p>My heart almost stops beating. I cry out to Frances, &#8220;Look out&#8230;.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Before I could finish my words, Frances turns around and kicks Andrew out.<\/p>\n<p>Frances kicks him so heavily that Andrew doesn&#8217;t get up from the ground for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Susan is distracted by them. So, I take the opportunity to push her away and run to old Mr. Louis.<\/p>\n<p>He is not in good health. How could he lie on the ground all the time?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How dare you beat my son?! Go to hell!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Then I hear another gunshot behind me.<\/p>\n<p>I turn around and see Susan holding the gun and pulling the trigger.
