Nick took a deep breath and readied himself mentally.
The world hadn't felt real for the past day, but right now, Nick felt that the danger to his life was very real.
All the things that happened yesterday and today vanished from Nick's mind, allowing him to focus on the task at hand.
The hammer Nick had received was hanging from his toolbelt, and the two sacks were hanging from his back.
The first thing Nick did was to take one of the grips out of the sack, which wasn't as easy as he had thought.
The sack was hanging quite low, and Nick couldn't reach it just by moving his arm backward.
After a couple of seconds of fidgeting around, Nick noticed that the gap between the grips and the wall was wide enough for his ankle.
Nick put both his feet through the gap and let go of the grips.
