Casper remained for a long time waiting in there, behind those large devices. So much that his heart didn't stop beating each time faster due to the anticipation.
His throat seemed to be closing because he couldn't breathe in and out properly. However, his lungs felt like being two times the size they were before, his body needed more oxygen.
He was willing to go take a look at the corridor leading to the individual rooms, but he did not. He kept staring at the entrance, without moving an inch, always aiming his gun there. He didn't afford himself even to blink, his eyes were getting dried, but remained always gazed there.
Outside, a strange silence took place, which was the more disturbing due to the noise they were doing before.
Even the steps ceased. Whispers could not be heard, even though Casper was concentrating as he could to listen to something.
