Davey, losing his patience, shouted, Maybe you can convince your sister to tell me where she hid Casey, or shell be the first to go, then you!

Raegan was thrown aside by some unseen force, and a loud thud echoed.
It sounded like someone had fallen from a great height.
Raegans heart raced. The cold smell of cedar filled the air.
The smell was unmistakably Mitchels. Could it really be him?
Raegans face drained of color as she hurried to the window.
At first glance, she noticed a man on the ground, surrounded by pools of blood. She couldnt see anything else.
