swiftly pulls out a small vial from his pocket and uncorks it, releasing a cloud of gas into the area Stay close, Hernandez. This will only last for a few seconds. Men: start coughing and stumbling back, disoriented by the gas
Holy shit, Jome! That's amazing. What was that stuff?
smirking, Jome holds Hernandez's hand and guides them through the disoriented men It's a special gas that I developed myself.
Damn, Jome. You're full of surprises. This gas is badass.

So am I the only person you aren’t gonna kill or bite or anything?
