Leon had decided to go after Zyra when he noticed she was missing and Verity wasn't with her.
He saw that she almost had the boar within her grasp but just as he was about to go and help her he heard men quarreling nearby.
Distracted Leon took his eyes off of Zyra for just a few minutes, the men were arguing over something called the artifact and over who should keep it.
He could only hear bits and pieces of their conversation because they were still a few feet away and on top of that their voices were muffled.
When they finally moved off he turned his attention back to Zyra and was shocked to see what looked like a sharp stone whizzing through the air and knocking her daylights out.
He watched stupefied as she collapsed and the same men he overheard came out from hiding.
Before they could do anything Thomas and his cronies bend the corner.
