Watching the horrible scene happen in front of her eyes, Sheila was petrified as well. Her knees became weak all of a sudden. Unable to stand anymore, she had to lie on the ground as far away from the bear as possible.

”Tell me,” he insisted on a calmer voice. He no longer had the patience to continue the grueling interrogation.
