Herald quickly reacted as Edward created a siege by rallying the patients together. When it came to his attention he locked and barricade all of the doors leading out of the hospital and the tunnel in the basement. He stationed guards outside each door with rubber bullets and rifles, as well as tear gas, and detaining equipment. The guards were no stranger to situation like this and were trained to extinguished problems like this without much direction.<br/><br/><i>The bastard thinks that he's going to take over my hospital!</i>He thought walking the cluttered hallways riddled with wandering patients that were confused and disoriented. He pushed some that were huddled in his way without regard.<i>I didn't make it this far in my life for some psychopath to take over everything I've worked for. </i>Herald pulled out a walkie-talkie and began a brief conversation with the head of security, "I want this under-wraps. Gas mask for all of the guards that were unaffected by the fear juice. I don't any of this leaking to the public we deter this quickly!" He said partially yelling into the walkie-talkie.<br/><br/>"Yes sir." Replied a voice from the other side of the speaker. Herald continued to tread quickly down the hall. His face was void of all sympathy and remorse. He was completely furious and determined. The doors to the activity room flew open for him as he entered the room as the guards pulled them open. He stared down Edward Craig for a long moment and turned to a nurse who walked up to him with a metal plate in her hand. On the plate was larger medical needle. He picked it up and brought the needle to his face and pull the plunger. Liquid shot out from the needle and dripped all over Herald's shoes.<br/><br/>"Edward you have made you point but you failed to recognize one thing." Herald slipped the needle in a pocket inside his blazer pocket. "You forgot that what you have at your disposal is not a trained army. Not everyone here gives a damn about your vendetta with the system! If you think that they can be that easily manipulated that they would be in here with you! All you have is started nothing but chaos but that's what you thrive for isn't it?"<br/><br/>Herald starts to approach Edward. Step by step he get just a little closer bridging the gap between them. A group of guards stands behind Herald with their guns pointed at Edward and their faces covered in masks as they were instructed. "Come on no one is disputing your genius Edward." Herald says lifting his hands in the air showing Edward that he is in fact harmless. "In fact I think you knew that no one would willing join you. No without the incentive of release but not everyone in here is like you, many of them in fact want help, and others well I won't speak for them." He turns to Sean when he got close up and whispers, "You and I are going to have a little talk about your disgruntled patient over there." He motions over to Ashely. Then he continues his slow walk over to Edward. His hands still stiff in the air over his head.
