"Raze!" Ella screamed. She ran in that direction; Gavin tried to hold her but couldn't, so he chased after her, leaving Riker there. The abomination immediately rushed toward where it had thrown Raze, wanting to finish what it started.
Riker stood there, unsure what to do. He had been pretty useless in the midst of all this. The genius of Gavin, Ella, and even his brother Raze overshadowed him. He was incapable of helping in any substantial way, and this made him sick to his gut. He wanted to help, he needed to be of help somehow in this situation.
He gritted his teeth and made the only right decision he could think of, run out of the alley. He needed to find someone to help before the situation got out of hand.
He rushed past the gutters, the water splashing as he ran, his eyes pinned forward. "Everyone wait for me, I'll get some help, I promise," he said.
