	This was turning into quite the scene. Something out of a horror movie that had been written by a bad comedian. Vera's eyes widened and she gagged at the sight, and then at Mosi and poor Nora. Her eyes widening as she tripped over her own two feet but quickly and desperately caught herself to move away and back. Looking at Josephine she nodded and scurried quickly towards the barracks. Getting back to her uncle was paramount right now, he was a strong shoulder and a comforting presence. Family, in a sense. Yet Josephine was proving herself to be just as strong and comforting despite her initial impression of the woman. 

	Akhmed gave a disgusted looked back glancing towards Mahendra. "Come on, you to the barracks. Need to get you looked at," he said, urging the man towards the barracks. "Miss Ridgeway, please help the ladies to the barracks. I think they could use a tonic to settle the nerves at the least," he said and hoped they would follow. He wasn't waiting around to see. If the local officials needed to question anyone they could find Miss Ridgeway at the barracks. There were plenty of Museum officials and guards outside now that they could report on peoples whereabouts. 

	Vera got to the gate and the guards opened them for her and Josephine. Vera took a brief moment to explain as she motioned back Akhmed helping Mahendra over. They nodded and gave her an escort to help, sending two more over to Akhmed to help him get Mahendra into the barracks grounds and over to the infirmary. Yet another waited out beyond the gate to help the ladies if they needed it and to escort them to the infirmary as well. 

	Inside Vera sat down on the edge of a low brick wall and caught her breath as word was sent to Reginald that she and others were here and what was going on. Akhmed didn't need any help with Mahendra but he did need to go inform Aton so he handed him off. Letting Mahendra know where he was going and asking him to tell Josephine he would return as quickly as he could. Turning he rushed off and caught a taxi. This was not going to be an easy conversation.
