Dozens of people were crammed into the dim underground warehouse. Although Rhys Chase wasn't injured, he was scruffy with an unkempt beard, his hair was a mess, and his clothes were torn and filthy. He looked even more wretched than the survivors outside. Ryan Rowe and Liam Sterling were behind him. Ryan was limping on one leg, and while Liam wasn't hurt, he was just as disheveled.
Upon seeing Evelyn Ford and Ronan Kendrick, Liam Sterling started to cry.
"Mr. Kendrick, Joy Ford, I thought we were going to be buried here forever! If the warehouse hadn't been so big, we would've suffocated to death long ago. I just knew you'd come save us." As Liam Sterling spoke, he threw his arms around Ronan Kendrick and burst into tears.
Ronan Kendrick expressionlessly pushed him away and then glanced inside.
"How many people are in here altogether?"
"Twenty-one," Rhys Chase said.
