Kirk saw him turn, saw Wichita moving like a dart from the corner of his eye. "Wich—!" The echoing gunshot cut off the rest of his shout, and Kirk's eyes barely took her in for a second before landing back on the gunman, seeing him run. He'd been fully prepared for several things to happen. Himself getting shot, the glasses guy getting shot, glasses guy fleeing... A sane conversation honestly hadn't ranked even in the top five of the list; all Kirk had wanted was to throw the gunman's attention off of Glasses, hoping to buy time.
Well, he got it. Regardless now of whether or not they were all on the same side, right now Kirk had to assume the guy had been brainwashed into doing anything for the Institute, and he didn't doubt "killing fellow prisoners" would be on that list. Kirk allowed himself only enough time to utter a single swear word before acting.
"Come on!" Without waiting for a response, Kirk grabbed the wrist of the bespectacled man beside him, and ran after them.
