Road, Lavi, and Bookman came falling into the player's room (in the white arc). Road let go of Lavi, whose body fell on top of Bookman. Johnny ran up to them and helped get the still passed out Lavi off of Bookman. Johnny put Lavi on the couch.
Bookman began to stand up when a hand reached out to him. "Are you ok?" Allen asked with a smile. Bookman took his hand and whispered, "You've done well to stay awake this long."
"So, why did you bring them here?" Kanda asked. "You know they are still with-," Allen ran over and covered his mouth. "They don't know anything yet!" He whispered angrily to Kanda. The past three and a half months, just before Neah's awakening began, Bookman and Lavi were captured.
"Anyway we don't have time for this! We have to save Chaoji before Fiadora kills him off!" Allen said. "Everyone but Road, stay here with Bookman and Lavi," Allen continued. "Why? It would be easier to get in if we are with you," Kanda protested. "Kanda, you don't have your innocence anymore, Johnny can only throw potions, and the order thinks Shishou is dead and I want it to stay that way," Allen replied, "Road lets go." "Ok," Road said as she followed Allen to the nearest white arc door and they disappeared.
Bookman was leaning over Lavi, replacing the towels with real bandages. Johnny and Kanda sat against the wall, trying to make some kind of a weapon for Kanda. Right now they were reshaping a metal pole to a sword, but with the tools they had, the best they could do was give it a flattened edge. "We should have told him to take some stuff from the order," Kanda said. "But they are our friends!" Johnny protested. "Ch," Kanda scoffed.
"You're being awfully quiet," Cross said to Bookman. "And?" Bookman asked. "Im surprised that you aren't trying to get more information. The last time you saw me was before I died," Cross replied. "I'd like to ask you a lot but there is no way that you can answer them without Allen," Bookman said.
Allen and Road ran out of the white arc gate and into the halls. A moment after they did so, the alarms went off. The hallway they were in was empty but they knew that if they didn't find Chaoji fast, not only would they be captured, but Chaoji would die.
There was an intersection up ahead. They slid to a stop as a group of finders ran right past them, too busy to notice Allen and Road. Allen grabbed Roads hand as he turned left. "Do you know where you're going?" Road yelled at Allen. "Somewhat," Allen yelled back.
They ran and ran, hiding here and there from the occasional finder, until they heard a large group of voices up ahead. They hid by the wall and peered around the corner. Barely five feet ahead of them was Timothy, Lenalee, Bak, Fou, and several nurses. Timothy was arguing with Lenalee because he wanted to help fight. Bak and Fou had come to try to analyze what Apocryphos was but as always, Bak was only trying to talk to Lenalee and Fou and Komui were beating him up for it.
The head nurse said, "Timothy, why don't you stay with us? We need protection too." That made Timothy get carried away and he began to ramble on about how strong he was while Lenalee and Bak tried to escape. Fou was to stay as backup in case something happened. Timothy noticed Lenalee and Bak leaving and was about to say something but was cut off by Fou. "There! Someone's there!" She shouted pointing toward Allen and Road's position. Lenalee and Bak whirled around, running toward Allen and Road. Lenalee turned on her innocence and got behind them, preventing escape.
Lenalee looked up, noticing it was Allen (and Road), and was starting to cry. Bak yelled, "Fou!" "I know!" She yelled back as she accessed the Order's speakers announcing, "Report to the infirmary! They are at the infirmary!" Now Allen had a tough time escaping. Road made candles appear and was about to stab everyone when Allen stopped her, whispering something into her ear. She nodded and used Box, putting everyone inside while her and Allen ran through the infirmary door.
Using Box only gained them a moment, since it could easily be broken with innocence, which Lenalee had. She shattered her box and in a flash, released everyone else. She paused for a moment, then grabbed Timothy and went after Allen. They were right behind Allen but they didn't see the corner up ahead and they crashed into the wall as Allen and Road turned.
Where is it?! Allen thought. He frantically searched the beds and finally found Chaoji, at the end of the room. Allen pulled him up, into a sitting position while Road got out the half-filled glass bottle. She poured the last of the contents into Chaoji's mouth just as Lenalee came into the room. She was soon followed by Timothy, the head nurse, Bak, Fou, and Marie, who had just heard the announcement.
Allen took a scalpel (thin surgical tool sharper than a knife) from the side table and held it to Chaoji's throat. "Don't move!" he shouted. "Just calm down Allen," Marie said. Allen smiled. "Have you gone to the side of the Noah?" The people of the order turned around to see Cash. "Is that why you left?" She continued, "To join them?" Allen gave a sad smile and said, "Yeah." He opened a gate behind him and slowly backed into it.
"You're lying!" Lenalee shouted, tears pouring from her eyes. "You said you'd always be an exorcist! That you'd never betray us!" "What if that was all a lie?" Allen asked. He dropped Chaoji and went through the gate (Road already went before him), leaving Lenalee on her knees, crying.
