Ashley's appearance was met in an identical fashion by all four of the armed men.  For a few brief seconds she was bathed in the red beams of their flashlights, a sure sign of four weapons being trained on her as she approached.  It would cast a rather eery glow to her white clothes, but then when she started speaking the four immediately returned to watching outwards.  It was hard to make out any noise beyond the constant rush of rain water into the sewers, but something must have caught the attention of the two men covering the way the four had approahced from, as they shifted positions to focus on one length of tunnel at the T-intersection, both standing and bracing their rifles to their shoulders, ready for trouble.<br/><br/>The one that had tended Toby's wounds stepped in to gently take Ashley's arm and pull her back from Toby, preventing her from getting too wrapped up in checking his wound.  "We have to move now, ma'am.  He isn't going to drop dead on us here, so lets get somewhere safe, shall we?"<br/><br/>The first gun shot was loud, echoing and rebounding off the close walls and ceiling, and a second and third only seemed worse until their ears could adjust to it.  The man seemed to look to Toby, still shielded from their view by the glow of their own lights, although it was clear he was a soldier, or at least wearing the gear of one, "Best lead the way now.  Got to hurry."
