The two guards from earlier are standing there looking like they were just hit by a molotov. Massive burns cover their hands and faces with their uniforms being charred black in several places. The Firecracker has been killed or knocked out cold since it's not moving.
Three of the burly men surrounding the drug lab equipment begin to approach the guards, leaving only one behind to guard a thin and scrawny looking man. You squint. Hold on a minute.
Bird nest hair. Glasses. Wearing leather gloves. Really pale skin. Dried blood coating his forehead from an open wound. <span class="mu-b">That's your target.</span>
"B-Boss! Someone's attacking us!" One of the horribly burnt guards yells out. "M-my leash s-started floating and t-then it hit the Firecracker a-and it got ang-angry an-"
He proceeds to get slapped hard by the biggest and tallest man of the group. You take a closer look at him. He's adorned in a checkered red and black jacket with some sort of weird symbol on it. He's at least a solid seven foot given how he seems to tower over everyone else.
His scarred face is covered in gaudy tattoos that you think are supposed to be scary looking. He glares down at the guard before he begins yelling at him, spittle flying out of his mouth.
"Are you fucking retarded? Floating leashes? I'm sorry, are you fucking pulling my leg?" The gangboss (you assume) grabs the guard's collar. "I thought it was impossible for someone to be so fucking stupid, they couldn't even guard a door!"
The guard hisses in pain at the physical contact. "N-no, seriously, s-sir! I-I s-saw a weird lady moving her hands r-really weird and-"
He gets a slap to the face. The three of you hiss in unison. That couldn't have felt good given the burns on his body.
"And you fucking killed the Firecracker! DO YOU FUCKING KNOW HOW MUCH THAT COSTS?!" The gangboss trembles with a rage you have not seen in a person in ages. "I HAVE HALF THE MIND TO RIP YOU LIMB FROM LIMB!"
Everyone here is watching this spectacle unfold...except for one man. Benjamin. He's just working away at his little lab with an unusually upbeat smile on his face. It's like he doesn't even know what's going on. He's lost in his own little world.
<span class="mu-g">Everyone's distracted by the shitshow going down. The gang members aren't heeding any of the guard's advice either.</span>
Now, you have to somehow get Benjamin to notice you and sneak over OR deal with the gang members so you can leave. You don't have to kill them, you just need to get him out of here and to somewhere safe.
From where you're standing at (right next to the door leading to the hole in the wall), you're about a solid thirty to four feet away from Benjamin. So you can't exactly whisper at him to come over...
What's your next plan, Nicole? If you can get him out of here, <span class="mu-b">the mission is essentially done. You'll be in the home stretch.</span>
