4 - Come outside.. Not understanding a thing, I watched him and the other man walking away, then I heard a loud weird voice that I didn't recognize.. I looked towards the girl's dead body that left all this drama behind and went away, thinking: what was happening outside..? Something told me not to go out for my own good.. That guy's pointing at me and whispering secretly, and those loud voices I heard.. A couple of seconds passed before I heard the quite voice that gave me the answer to all of my questions: - I shall be quick.. Any silly attempts to be a hero won't give any of you anything except for a bullet in the head.. We'll take..... An armed robbery attempt..!! That's why the guy asked me to stay inside.. I partially closed the door in order not to appear if someone walked beside the room.. Didn't want to close it completely fearing it'd make a sound and someone hears it.. Leaning on the wall beside the door, I looked at the dead body.. Did her leg just move..? No... Probably I'm just a little hysterical.. Shit.. I could almost feel those white ceramic walls getting nearer and nearer, preventing me from breathing.. As if death was still flying in the air, waiting for his chance to reap my soul too.. Will washing my face with some cold water calm me down..? Worth a shot.. So I walked carefully trying not to step on the blood, and turned the tap on, when I had a blood-freezing thought: What would happen if any of the people outside heard me..? They'd certainly hear the sound of water since the door wasn't fully closed, so I closed the tap again cursing my bad luck.. But on thinking, my luck was certainly not worse
