Gabriel gave a look around: no one was in sight.
He quickly reached the ladder on the wall when suddenly something grabbed him from his neck.
"Where you think you're going?" Bruce asked.
"I go to the toilet for a minute and you try to escape! Did you forget what Ming Lee said to you?"
Gabriel looked at Bruce's face.
"Do you have a family?"
"Yes!"
"Well… me too!"
Gabriel managed to free from Bruce grasp but he was quickly blocked by his strong arms.

"Please… please… let me go!"
"Gabriel, listen to me and please try to understand; that big red panda is out there, once you're out she'll start smelling your scent and she will looking for you. No matter how far you are, she will find you everywhere. You can't reason or negotiate with her in her current state, so nothing will stop her from eating you! Got it?"
Gabriel stopped wiggling.

Gabriel felt hopeless.
