While Lawrence was definitely taking the attention of the hideout bandits, one way or another, he began searching the area for Reno.
"Reno…? Are you here?" He called out.
All he found at first were cages that held frightened captives of the bandits, who didn't reply and seemed to flinch at any words thrown. As expected, there were mostly demi-human children being locked in cages.
