Marlon fetched the wire cutters and tossed them to Csongor, who went to work snipping himself loose. "I went to sleep," Csongor said. "He wanted to use the radio—to call his friends, I suppose. But he must have been afraid that I would wake up from the sound of his voice. He couldn’t attack me because he didn’t have any weapons. So he did this. He knew that he would have time to send out a distress call before I could get loose and come stop him. But Yuxia showed up."
