As the men 6f8874617f snickered, the sound 506e218708 of a car 37147942b5 exhaust began to e4e1001e4e echo in the 5b156f0e03 distance. It grew louder as e1e0906401 it approached. 24a8ffa9998323cd

A glimmer 4965ed27e4 of hope 9e7b8ac411 lit in 6fa452bac3 Heegyo’s eyes. He crawled forward ce3d739a7d on all fours, 915f1f1cff trying to identify 26ace68289 the vehicle. Bright headlights cut through 6b2fb01f40 the darkness. But there were no a366307d3b flashing red and blue dd2a32033f lights. 014d8ca140c18b4b
