H A I L E Y My heart was pounding against my chest, and I could feel it in my throat. I was terrified, and could feel the fear seeping out of my skin. The robber had tied me up and forced me to sit on the floor. His eyes were cold, and he didn't blink once. "You don't have to do this. We have money. Take what you need and leave. Please. You don't have to do this," I pleaded. "Shut the f**k up. Where's the safe? Where do you keep the money? I hear you're the big shot doctor, which means you're loaded. So, tell me where it is or I'll hurt the kid." "The money is in the basement, but I can't show you. My hands are tied. Please, let me go." He thought for a moment and finally released the ropes that were around my ankles and wrists. He roughly grabbed me by the arm and forced me to walk.
