Booker DeWitt and his companion Kain were able to find the girls with little problem, considering how they both headed to the courtyard when they heard the fighting stop and the cries of pain, and in time too, Kain started to shake and hyperventilate, Amy saw it and ran to him, asking him what he was thinking, Kain's reply was simple, he wasn't, the man started shivering and sweating rather quickly, Amy quickly took a intact jacket off of a dead soldier and covered Kain with it, Elizabeth wanted to know what happened but Amy beat Booker to speaking.
"look it will take too long to explain, but if we don't get him to the airship NOW so I can treat him properly he could die."
Booker didn't know what was wrong but he knew the look of a coming death, it was written all over Kain in so many different ways it would have made DeWitt's head start spinning, he immediately popped open the bottle of Shock Jockey and drank the vigor, when he did shards of some sort started to grow on his hands and energy arced out between them, he quickly recovered and they sprinted out of the Hall Of Heroes as fast as they possible could, Amy holding Kain in her arms, the pair ran into a sealed doorway but Booker used his new vigor on a nearby power station and they were clear to the sky lines after killing all opposition that stood in their way,
Luck shined upon the group as they saw a gondola waiting for them, everyone got inside and they headed down, Kain was lying against the wall on the ground, Amy immediately took off the jacket but she panicked when he stopped hyperventilating and simply, relaxed.
When the man's body fell limp Amy cut open Kain's belly and reached in, when Elizabeth saw what she was doing she screamed at Amy, asking if she was crazy.
"Listen, you have no idea what we have inside our bodies, if I don't do this, he is dead!"
Elizabeth was about to intervene but Booker stopped her.
"look, he died a few moments ago already by our standards, maybe they know something we don't."
Elizabeth was about to protest but when a squishy noise came from inside Kain and Amy pulled her hand out the man started to breathe again, but he was unconscious.
"What, did you do?"
"i made one of his King Slugs bring him back, You don't want to know."
The way that Amy said it discouraged Elizabeth from further questioning, the results were clear, even if they were sketchy, to say the least, Amy told them that she still needed to treat him properly on the airship, Kain was still in grave danger.
it was a harsh battle that awaited them when they got off the gondola, but one that Amy was more than ready for, her animalist brutality disturbed even Booker as she ended the lives of her enemies easily, one of the peace keepers got a lucky shot off in her shoulder, when she felt that pain Amy leaped high backwards in the air, twisting and turning as she did before landing on the man's shoulders, as he fell back she snapped his neck and jumped back, slamming hard against another before killing him and landing gently on her feet.
Booker lifted Kain up in his arms when Amy ordered him to, she was terrifying at this moment and he didn't want to upset her, the group sprinted straight to the elevator, through whatever stood in their way, when they were in Booker handed Kain back to Amy, the woman asked in a rushed voice of any of them had a syringe for her, Elizabeth handed her an empty one, where she found it only she knew but Amy thanked her before snatching it away and forcing it into her, when she pulled out however the blood was somehow, thinner than usual blood and it had a, alluring sensation to it.
"This should keep him stable for now, I can't distill ADAM from my veins as good as you Kain but I'll be damned if I let you down now."
She pushed the syringe past the wound on Kain's stomach, injecting it into his stomach linings, allowing the creatures inside him to feed on it, when she was sure that the syringe was empty she pulled it out of Kain, the man seemed to be better now that they injected him, Booker and Amy were caught up in a discussion of the girls, tears that she could open while Amy tried to distill more of the mysterious liquid from her own blood, she heard Amy explaining her tears as doorways, she didn't really focus on what the girl was saying.
When the door opened up both the detective and the girl they were meant to rescue were deep in a discussion while their partner carried Kain, no one was around to interrupt them luckily and they got to the gondola leading to the airship with ease.
"This is too easy." Mumbled Amy as Booker summoned the gondola, almost as if answering a silent summons, the voice of the prophet roared out across Columbia.
Elizabeth challenged the man, stating clearly to him that they were leaving and that there was nothing he could do to stop them, but her bluff was called, two 'gunships' carrying peace keepers headed to them.
Before the two ships could come close enough for the peace keepers to attack a single massive bolt of electricity forced its way through one of them, the ship started to lose altitude, drooping far below the clouds and likely to crash into the ocean waters below, a second powerful bolt forced its way through the other, forcing it to follow the fate of its companion.
Booker and everyone else turned around, they saw the same man that helped them to break into the Hall Of Heroes.
"Delta, Thank you for saving us, Kain, he is sick, he turned." Spouted Amy, when she had ushered those words the man walked over to her and took Kain from her arms, nodding his head before sprinting away from them.
"Who, is that?"
Amy shook her head before answering.
"A friend, his name is Delta, and right now, he is Kain's best chance."
as they boarded the gondola Booker asked what happened to Kain.
"It's, hard to explain."
"Try."
"Our bodies, mine, Kain's, Delta's and a woman named Eleanor, all of our bodies is flooded with a drug called ADAM and all of us besides Delta have slugs in us that create more of it, back in rapture, Delta's body, it, changed, he is able to create the stuff naturally, but for all of us there is one thing, when our bodies are out of ADAM, we start to break down, Kain has the ability to turn into something, deadly, but the longer he waits between transformations, the more ADAM he uses, he must have used up all of his ADAM to change, we warned him against doing something rash like that before we even came to Columbia."
Amy said nothing further before she headed to the other compartment, she wanted to be alone.
Shortly after Amy left Elizabeth revealed that Booker was calling out to a woman named Anna while he was unconscious on the beach but the moment he heard that named he stated coldly that he does not want to talk about it, she apologized and instead asked where he was from, he answered her honestly with "New York."
The pair started to discuss his work and she tried complimenting him but he broke her down in the attempt, stating that he had several debts, that he was only doing a job to pay off his debts, the man said nothing further, even to Amy when they arrived at next platform.
