Daniel managed to lower one line of the rope to the sharp edge of the pipe. He struggled so hard because every time he moved, the ropes just tightened even more around his body and it hurt so bad.
"Hey!!! Keep your eyes open! Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Vladimir nudged Kevin whose head was already lowered.
Walking over to Kevin, Vladimir raised a finger near the former's nose to check if he was still breathing.
Daniel sensed something was wrong when he no longer heard his friend's groans and depthless breathing. His head snapped to the side to look at Kevin and to his horror, he almost could not recognize him anymore. Kevin was bleeding all over his body and Daniel was not sure if he was still alive.
Daniel felt a lump has formed in his throat at the sight. There was a strong stench of blood in the room, invading his sense of smell that he almost wanted to puke. But more than anything, his heart beat so fast upon seeing his friend suspended in the air and helpless.
