The man who appeared to be leading things was busy eating and talking, threatening more hostages of all things, whilst the other gunman watched their captives.

You're going to fall maybe a foot, but after that I need you to guide the other hostages I teleport out to safety, can you do that for me?" he asked the frightened woman, glancing upwards at the sounds of footsteps. He could see the stairs leading up just enough to see the passageway, but nothing else. It would have to do.
