Renji stopped himself from simply stumbling into the hallway by grabbing the door frame. There were nine people behind him, poised for attack and rescue. But it would be stupid to run in blindly.

He pulled the knife out from the back of his pants, holding it ready in his hand, then raised the flashlight to start illuminating the hall. He moved cautiously in. The others would follow.

Artemis blinked as he took the container from the polite man. The boy had expected him to keep the bottle for himself, but if he was intent to give it back...

"I found the containers in what appears to be a Pharmacy," Artemis explained, pointing at the wall in the direction of the mentioned room. He paused in thought for a moment. Either the polite man was accusing Artemis of abandoning the battlefield for the bottles, or he wanted to know where he could find more. Which meant he was going to share the blood with someone. After all, who would want to carry around two bottles when one sufficed?

"And," Artemis began, looking as nonchalant as possible. He held up the bottle Noah had filled. "I don't know why you gave this to me. You mopped up the blood and put it in here, after all." He held out the bottle to the man. "Give it to whoever you think needs it."

Whoops. Slipped.

He coughed and continued, "Ed and the other boy ran into the correct room, so I don't know what could possibly be taking them so long. Unless..." Artemis' voice trailed off. There were a lot of things that could have gone wrong. For all he knew, Larsa and Ed could have been caught by surprise. Adelheid could be dead or worse, attacking them. "I think we should go check on them. It shouldn't take this long to lift one person off a table."
