Crossley's eyes were still fixed on the tightly shut door, she watched intently. After about ten minutes, as the clock approached 11:55, a noise suddenly came from the doorway.
Because it was so quiet around her, Crossley heard it very clearly, hearing the sound of the doorknob turning. At that moment, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly closed her eyes.
