"Are you ready to work together with us?" Robert asked as he fixed his gaze into Shedrack's eyes.
"Yes, I am," Shedrack answered, his voice firm.
Then Robert looked at Emma.
"We need to think of a way out," Emma said.
"Since you can't run because of your legs," she added with concern in her voice.
Robert bit his teeth.
Then he moved his wheelchair next to Emma and Shedrack.
He rapidly unstrung them from their tethers.
"Thanks, Robert," Emma whispered.
Shedrack nodded gratefully.
"Now, do you know how to get out of here?" Robert asked Shedrack.
"Yeah, I do," Shedrack replied.
"We have to be fast before those guys return," he urged.
Emma nodded.
"Robert, I'll wheel you while we go," she offered.
But Robert shocked everyone.
He stood up.
Emma's eyes went wide in astonishment.
