Amos nodded his thanks and began applying what all she had gave him.
While he did that, everyone else either shook their heads or mumbled that they were fine or weren't injured.

Everyone slowly lowered themselves into sitting positions on the floor across the room, other than James, who remained in his chair seemingly frozen in the position he was in.

Amos spoke clearly but softly.
"Everyone take off your shoes, so when you walk it won't make any noise, keep your socks on as they will pad your steps."
Everyone nodded and began working their shoes off of their feet, not even bothering to unlace them, they just pushed them right off their feet.

"Don't off your cell phones too."He said hoarsely.
"Why?"Asked Mark.
Amos replied,"We can't have any alarms or notifier going off can we?"
"But there's no cell service out here anyway."Abby said aloud.
"Just turn them off in case."Amos demanded.
