The girl was off in one direction and Badou all but threw himself the opposite way. Just up ahead, large doors. Alkaid believed this would work, and he didn't have much choice as to what he could do about it now. At least he'd have someplace to drop Clark out of sight.

He knew he was jarring his freeloader pretty badly but he didn't really care. The only response that Clark's mumbling got was. "Shut up. Fucking stay where you are or I'll use you as monster food."

He wasn't joking about that either. Badou's bullshit tolerance was pretty much non-existent at this point. He shouldered the door open and moved on into the chapel.
