That did the trick. He froze, standing over them, then looked over at the little boy and girl that had helped save them, realizing that he'd be doing something that sick in front of them.

They did not have the expressions of children that wouldn't be upset by that kind of thing. That creepy twin thing was looking more and more like an act.

Clenching the knife in his hand and making a futile gesture with his other clenched fist, he let out a growl that he only barely kept from turning into a frustrated scream. Then kicked one of the scientists - the one that had been about to saw him open - in the side at least hard enough to crack a rib.

After that, he at least gave up on the idea of killing them.

He turned to Nico. "Did any of you manage to get your hands on a map of this place? Or see places that might have been holding cells?"
