The first brick was placed beneath Roselynn’s heels, and her tendons began

to stretch painfully.

By the time the second brick was added, veins bulged across her legs as the

pain intensified.

If the third brick were added, her tendons would surely tear, leaving her

crippled for life.

Just as the bodyguards prepared to move, a commanding voice echoed
