Gary glanced up at the woman who just answered... but then the woman opened her mouth, and Gary realized it was actually a man. A biological man, that is. Modern gender politics were confusing like that. Either way, he or she managed to one-up both Glasses-Man and the Cosplayer in terms of sheer ridiculousness. Wait... was that a knife in his hand? 

The man began yelling, and Gary tightened his grip on the fire extinguisher, anticipating an attack. Though the extinguisher was empty, a good swing from it could still knock someone out. Thankfully, no attack came, and the oddly dressed stranger then ran [i]toward[/i] the center of chaos, which everyone else had been clearly trying to get away from.

Truth be told, the erratic behavior of one individual was far from the strangest thing Gary had encountered today. Still, Gary's first impression of this stranger was not a good one. [i]I should probably tell the police about that knife, when they arrive,[/i] he thought. [i]If he doesn't get himself killed.[/i]

In the meantime, Gary pulled the woman back up to her feet. She seemed to be calming down, but then the newcomer reappeared from the bathroom moments later, duffel bag in hand, and began running directly towards them. Gary instinctively raised his fire extinguisher in a protective guard, but then the man claimed to have the girl's stuff. How did he know that was her stuff? Were they friends? Did she text him for help? Is that why he was so aggressive in his entrance? Then she began to protest, and Gary realized that must not be the case.

For a moment, Gary was unsure. He glanced down at the knife in the crossdresser's hand. Based on how quick the oddly dressed man had been to pull it out, he was probably dangerous, and easy to provoke. Just what they needed to complicate the situation. He needed to move, but he wasn't comfortable leaving the woman behind, and he certainly wasn't comfortable leaving her with this knife-brandishing stranger. 

Fortunately for Gary, this was not the first time someone had pulled a knife on him. "Give her stuff back," he demanded firmly yet calmly, raising his voice just loud enough to be heard over Glass's tantrum, which caused the woman to panic once more. [i]Only two people in this room have it together.[/i] "Then we need to get out of here. We can tell you what happened when we're outside."
