There was no answer from the other gang, and the small trio continued their search carefully, avoiding the berserking monsters, who seemed to be clearing out of the slums. Damian, with Raf and another boy in tow, joined them.
"Any luck?" Damian asked.
"Nuh-uh," replied Faya. They kept looking, Faya examining every nook and cranny in the crumbling edifices, hoping it would lead to where Tiger's gang was laired up.
"Get'cha away from here," snarled a rat-faced boy with a white armband, suddenly leaping from his spot as lookout against Faya's back, pressing her against a wall and with a knife pricking her throat.
However, Calynpen was able to burst out, with the guard so distracted. The boy then tried to block her, but Faya kicked him into the hiding hole.
"Calynpen! C'mon! Calyn—" Her words were cut off in shock as Calynpen moved towards Raf, drawn towards his injury like a plant towards sunlight. Dreamily, in a daze, the green-haired healer pressed her palm to his arm, the green tint righting itself and mending quickly.
"Holy Trinity..." she breathed, then snapped back to her senses. "C'mon, Calynpen, let's go!" She dragged the girl with the glowing eyes behind her, Raf taking her other side as they ran. Despite her need to be dragged, Calynpen moved gracefully, not tripping or stumbling. Even so, she had to be led, meaning that time was lost. Tiger's gang poured out quickly in pursuit. Damian and the three others stayed behind, trying to distract them and delay them as Faya and Raf ran past Joke, hauling Calynpen between them.
