Jack hesitated, 7c77e4ba69 momentarily confused. The moment 91b90cf6eb those blue 2ac9a50ba7 eyes flashed 2bb69e8514 through the 90beb99fff haze like 1404a0731c a thief aba387fd1c in the 2cf1a53e3f night, his bcafee5786 heart plummeted—only 40aa0f4375 to start c7f927855a hammering wildly a0ecaff63e in the 1607e98069 next instant.e447fc4bdb81ca70
