After twenty minutes Nick came back with Jason and the supplies.
"Harry? You know that the information we got told us not to interact with other humans, or human-like entities. This is too dangerous! What if he attacks us as soon as he recovers?!"
Harry and Nick sighed, "I know it is dangerous, but what other choice do we really have in this situation? That man might just be the key to understanding what happened with Jack. And if he attacks, I as the professional swordsmen will kill him before anything can happen."
Harry sighed and simply started to prepare to stitch up the bloody man.
Jason also let out a sigh, "I wish there was another way to know why and what."
Jack simply shook his head, "Look at it this way. He is obviously a person who focuses on the sword and the bow, so even if he wanted to fight us he would be at a disadvantage using only his fists."
Harry also spoke up, "We already tied him in a way he will be comfortable until he wants to fight. Besides I took off his gun and it is completely empty. He used everything just to make it this far, so we have nothing to fear unless he starts to become Wretched."
Jack sighed one last time, "Well at least make sure he has nothing except the rags he uses as clothes."
After stitching up the bloody man, Harry and Nick left again into the further hall to see if they could see any signs of Jack further up ahead. Once again Jason was left alone with all the supplies, with the new addition of a sleeping man who was still extraordinarily bloody and had stitches everywhere.
After watching his brothers disappear around the corner, Jason kept looking at the man and mumbled, "You better be worth it..."
Nick and Harry kept running for a while not seeing anything all over again. Although they thought it strange they didn't even see another entity, they kept running in the small hope of seeing something. It was only after another ten minutes passed did they see something.
In the distance, there was a body lying on the ground. Slowly walking up to the dead body, it became more and more recognizable.
"JACK! JA-C..k... NO! No... no, no, no." Harry fell to his knees tears streaming down his cheeks.
Nick stood there frozen, he watched as his brother Harry kneeled down crying next to the corpse of his other brother... Jack. There was a hole straight through his left eye leading directly to the brain, almost like a knife was pushed through its' socket.
It was only after ten minutes did Nick react to the sound of a small distant clicking coming their way. Without any other care, he also walked to the other side of his brother's rapidly cooling body did he kneel down and began crying as well.
After a minute the clicking just kept getting louder and a gurgling sound was now allowing itself to be heard. As the sound neared, the sound became more wet and viscous. Having cried and gotten most of his feelings out, Harry got up to look around the corner with his gun at the ready.
Around the corner were several black blobs slowly moving in their direction. With all his frustrations, Harry simply lifted up his gun and shot at the Blobs moving closer. One bullet after another the magazine suddenly became empty.
The clicking sound of an empty gun cleared Harry's eyes enough to notice his bullets did nothing to affect the entities at all.
Nick also woke up again with the suddenly quiet clicking of the empty gun. Standing up he looked around the corner where Harry stood to the entities that Harry had been shooting at.
"Di-d... you mi-ss?" Nick's broken voice sounded completely waking up Harry.
"No."
Nodding his head Nick simply put his hand on Harry's shoulder, "We need to get moving. These things are invulnerable to guns and looking at it probably swords. We would need a weapon made of Firesalt at least to do any damage."
Harry looked back at Nick who was in the same daze he was in and nodded, "I'll carry Jack back. You be ready to help anywhere necessary."
Neither brother wanted another death on their minds, so with quick movements they picked up the dead Jack and started to run back taking only five more minutes.
When they got back they got to see Jason staring down the bloody man who was placed on top of everything to carry him more easily.
Jason saw them and also saw the body they were carrying and suddenly became excited and nervous all over again, "You found him! Is he ok? Do we need more medical supplies?"
The two brothers couldn't take it anymore and broke down in tears looking at Jason who had hope after seeing them bring Jack's body back.
Jason looked at his brothers who fell to their knees quickly after arriving his excitement died entirely and looked at his brothers in fear, "He's not... dea-d is he? No, no he can't be." Jason quickly ran up to his brother's body which was being carried by Nick and Harry. Seeing the darkness of the abyss in that hole in his brother's left eye Jason also fell to his knees. "No... It can't be... he can't be dead... no... no..."
Having cried so much already Harry was able to recover the fastest, "I know... but... for now we need to get moving. We saw some Abyss Eaters coming this way." Harry tapped both of his brother's shoulders to wake them up.
Nick woke up and nodded, "Let's put him on the back."
As the two brothers were about to put the body on the back, they noticed and remembered the bloody man they had found and saved.
Nick suddenly looked at the eye with a hole in it and the knife that was the last weapon the man had on him. "No... It can't be... Did we save our brother's killer?"
Hearing Nick Harry also seriously started to look back at the dagger that was placed haphazardly on the floor and his dead brother who had a hole in his eye. "Did he do it?"
Jason had also woken up from his daze as well and heard their words. He looked at the knife that was on the floor and his brother's dead body. Without any more thought into it, Jason ran to the knife and grabbed it.
"YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! DIE! DIE! DIE!" Running in a crazy manner Jason held the knife in an attempt to stab the same eye that his brother had been stabbed in.
Nick was the first to react and hurried to pin his brother down, "CALM DOWN FIRST! We need him to know what happened! We need to know more about what happened! He could have come and killed our bothers killer and we wouldn't know!"
Jason on the other hand wasn't having any of it, "HE NEEDS TO DIE! LET GO!"
"Think about it! Our brother is the best with a gun, yet the man has no bullet wounds. It is possible that our brother's killer was eaten by the Abyss Eaters that were coming and we just didn't know. We need him alive. We need his information."
Harry also chipped in, "I can also take a good look at the wound and weapon to have a better understanding if it was indeed made by his dagger."
Jason slowly calmed down with Nick's reasonable words. "Fine, he stays for now. But in the future, he will be tortured if we find something is wrong."
Nick smiled wickedly, "My thoughts are the same."
