Kase
"Well, that's a start. We may have to remedy that, however. You'll never survive if you're only familiar with lower tier weapon systems like guns," Athena tells you, then pauses. "You are familiar with projectile combat, though? Guns, common explosives, low end rockets and missiles, ballistic knives? Duck."
She hits the ground, pulling you after her, and darts between two parked cars. She peaks underneath and looks around before glancing around the side. Being careful you see that the one handed man has emerged with the two others you saw waiting in the lobby. They're standing by the hospital doors, yelling at each other in a guttural tongue, full of hard consonants. The unharmed two seem to be upset that the first failed, and the first is pretty upset he's missing a hand. There is a lot of mutual discontent, and based on invective, you're willing to bet about half the foreign words used are profanity. A few moments later a large van with blacked out windows pulls up. It's the type of vehicle that gets the cops called when it's parked too near a school. All three of the men pile in, and it drives off.
The whole time you and Athena are crouched down, hiding. Her hands leave bloody fingerprints on the car, and every time she moves she twists her hands in a certain way, a way you will later learn effectively destroys the print for identification purposes. She smells of lilacs and blood.
Shortly after the van departs, Bob arrives driving the S Class. He pulls directly next to you two and throws the doors open. Both of you pile into the back seat, and put the hospital in your rear view mirror.
"What now?" Bob asks.
"The safehouse," Athena replies as if it's a stupid question.
"With him?" Bob points out. "Awake?"
"Oh." Athena glances at you, and goes silent. By this point the two of you have gotten situated in seats and have belted in.
"Not that I'm arguing, but only because don't know what else to do with him," Bob replies.
"I don't think we should be doing anything with him anyway," Athena replies after thinking. Then she turns to face you. "There's no reason to make his choices for him. Kase, pay attention. I have a few important things to tell you, and there will be a test later."
"You want to explain it now? Let's just drug him!" Bob exclaims.
