00:13:06
when the other room started sucking down
00:13:07
Axe Body Spray like he's got like bad so
00:13:12
she was worried that I was going to

here I couldn't open up the door he's
00:13:17
sitting there with with the gasoline
00:13:19
already poured on the floor and then he
00:13:21

00:13:23
paper so he eventually got on a fire and
00:13:25
made an entry through there first we had
00:13:28
a fireb three four feet high and then he
00:13:31
was pouring more gas on top of that and

then that's when I he started going in
00:13:35
the other room I didn't know where she
00:13:36
was I didn't know if she was yeah so I
00:13:38
tased him blindly all I could see was
00:13:41
smoke but I got I heard him go down I
00:13:43
jumped through all that and then got got
00:13:45
him into the well I sucked him into the
