Lena stood over him and waited for his heart rate to drop.
She turned her back for just one second to put the empty syringe on the counter.
Vincent forced his eyes open through sheer willpower and adrenaline.

The water rose to Camille's chin as she struggled to stay afloat.
Adeline cried and reached her tiny hand through the rusted iron bars.
Suddenly, a pair of heavy black boots walked across the grate above them.
