"however I do know this: I meant what I said before; if I had not shown up, you two would have easily beaten him to a pulp; if you chase after him now, while he's still recovering, and you both fight him, I'm almost certain you will defeat him." he then begins to look around the room. "the real problem, I think, is that there is at least one more here somewhere... Possibly even more dangerous than that one." he said, gesturing to the window Chris had jumped out of. "I have to at least make sure he's not causing any trouble - hell, for all i know he might've turned over a new leaf since last we met.

Trust your instincts, they know what to do, and will often perceive things long before your mind. Yours has been right on at least two occasions this day: how about we go for three?"
