Later on,

In Katie Hotel foyer..

Shiro looks out a window at the British Soldiers manningthe walls. He looks Above and beyond them towards the completely eclipsed sun that only proved they were racing against time they didn't have anymore. A deep, troubled frown on his lips as fear filled his eyes over the many thoughts that were racing through his mind all at once. 

None of the fear was aimed at him, not a single percentage over it. It was all aimed towards Katie and her alone. He hated how attached and how important she had grown to be to him and he feared that he was going to lose her like he's lost everyone else in his life. 

He was powerless and needed to keep her safe, even at the cost of his own life he couldn't allow himself to lose her. 

Katie and Matthew were left pacing the foyer in deep thoughts themselves as they tried thinking over a new plan or something to help stop Lotor before he grows any stronger. Leaving Lance, Regris and Antok playing poker around the table, using the card game to distract them from their growing fears and worries. 

"We must stop him from regenerating" Katie muttered out as she held her chin, coming to a slow stop and staring at a spot on the double doors that led out to the hallway. 

"Who opened that chest?" Matthew asked as he turned towards Antok and Regris, the card game being halted for now. 

"Me and Regris. Curtis and that Egyptologist, James" Antok answered as he placed his cards down, thinking over them all. He knew it was just the four of them but their ended up being five jars and he wasn't sure if someone else tried taking the filth one or not. 

"What about my buddy Slav?" Shiro asked, finally turning away from looking out the window and putting his attention on the others. His side left leaning against the edge of the wall beside the window still. 

"Nah" Regris breathed out with a shrug. 

"He scrammed before we even opened the damn thing" Antok replied in better detail as he remembered how freaked out the guy had became when James read the warnings on the chest. 

"Yeah, he ended up being the smart one out of us" Regris snorted back, the humour dull and forced. 

"That sounds like Slav" Shiro commented under his breath as he glanced towards Katie who was still lost inside her own head. Giving that cute little nose twitch every now and then. 

"Slav? He's here .. still? Can I hit him?" Matthew perked up as he was still upset with the guy. 

"He made a ran for it earlier" Katie finally spoke, remembering over her and Shiro passing the shorter male before they found Curtis deceased state. 

"Great. So out of us all, he's gonna be the one who might survive all this" Lance grumbled back bitterly as he didn't see how that was fair. 

"Okay, that's enough. We need a break" Matthew spoke up, clapping his hands together to cut through the air and give them all a break. 

"We don't have time for a break" Katie argued back with a disapproving look. 

"We can't think if we're stuck stressing" Matthew shot back with a shrug as he walked over to his boyfriend, rubbing at his shoulders a little to help relax him.
