Rell stuck the knife right inside the guy's chest several times, killing him. He searched the body for keys, then took the man's phone.
He ran out of the abandoned warehouse after shifting through the keys to unlock the entrance. Rell's hands shook as he ducked behind a car that was parked a few blocks from where he was held captive.
