Rowan's guard roughly pulled him up, and pushed him into the principal's office. Rowan looked around in shock, trying to take in everything at once. A serious looking man sat behind the desk, with two other important looking people. One was dressed like the guard, and Rowan took him, by the beret he was wearing, to be the leader. The man behind the desk looked expectantly at Rowan's guard, who looked nervous too.
"Yes?" asked the man.
Rowan's guard spoke loudly, as if to make himself appear fearless, "We found this one wandering around the hallways after the others were collected in the gym. He had managed to get outside, so I thought I'd better bring him to you."
"Why?" asked his boss simply. Rowan's guard looked stumped, but the beret-wearing man instructed him to explain to the man he called Diego.
"Yes, Captain Baira," said the guard, and again Rowan was peversely reminded of the school environment, "Well, sir, he, like, didn't get knocked out by the gas, and he managed to make it from his classroom to the back door. He even managed to sprint about two hundred yards away, before I caught him. Thought maybe he was one of them 'special' kids you were after?"
"Listen, Kieran," Diego said, "I know you're trying to help, but how are we supposed to know?"
"Um..." said Rowan's guard, Kieran, but he was cut off by Baira,
"Just take him with us. If he's not one, well, we've not lost anything..."
Daes perked up as he thought of an idea but decided to stay low as he looked around seeing everyone else unconscious or otherwise. He thought about the plan he had but decided it no good since almost everyones morale was deep in the dirt. He crawled over to the two playing hangman and nodded in greeting and decided to stay and watch.
When she came to, Kai found her self strapped to a chair. She noticed Kim and the boy who had helped them earlier had also been taken. Struggling to free herself, Kai winced as a sharp pain jolted through her head. :: Stop trying. You're only hurting yourself. Besides, your death is inevitable. :: "Who's there?"

"The three of them are definately gifted. That makes five now." with out turning, he addressed a guard standing behind him. "Are all the students in the gym now?"
"No sir, unfortunately, we seem to have some stranglers running around. It is proving.... difficult to capture them. We have lost quite a few men already."
"You disappoint me, Hans. Finish the job, and be quick about it."
