Chapter 5 - Extracting The Two Trapped Children From Cold Darkness
Two tiny pairs of frightened eyes blinked back at Mark from the deep shadows of the wall interior, trembling in absolute fear.

Mark carefully reached into the cavity, lifting the little girl out first and setting her gently onto the polished kitchen floor.
Leo knelt beside them, offering his jacket to wrap around the children who were shivering despite the warm morning weather.
Mark then lifted the little boy out of the cramped space, pulling both children away from the horrific confines of the wall.
