Evelyne tried not to gag too much, but having traveled around the world with her parents, she had seen alot more than most pampered young ladies. Taking out her camera, she snapped a picture of the strange mottled man's face, including the symbol.
That done, she headed over to the big hole, camera ready to snap more pictures of what must be inside. Melted bodies, the officer had said. She took pictures of anything interesting in the room, anything that might make great copy and perhap the front page this time.
Her nose tried its best to ignore the smell while her stomach felt immensely glad that she hadn't eaten anything recently.

As you take a picture of the corpse's face, the flash attracts the attention of the policemen at the edge of the pit.
"What in the world! Miss, your not supposed to be down here!" He turns to his partner. "Johnson, escort this lady out of here. This is no place for a woman!" The other officer who must be Johnson, turns to look at you. His eyes go wide in panic. "Oh My God! Look out lady!"
Suddenly you feel a arm clamp over your throat and a machete's edge is placed long the side of your neck. Evelyn turns her head slightly to see a bleeding negro with a frantic look on his face holding you captive. In a strangled voice he says. "If ya twitchs just abit I cuts ya open like a fish!" He nodes to the police "Drop ya heaters in the pit and back away or I open her neck right quick!"

Evelyn gasped when she felt the hand to her throat, but whatever noise she made it stopped at the feeling of cold steel. It only took a couple of seconds of thought before she knew the right course of action.
"Oh please don't hurt me!" she wails aloud, starting to sniffle and clutching at her purse. Holding it close to her chest as if it were a baby, she tries to sneak her hand inside to get a grip on her gun while the man was busying eyeing the coppers. "I'm a reporter! I can tell your story to the world. Don't you want to be heard? Oh please don't hurt me...there are coppers all over the place, how can you get free? Its best just to give it up."
If her speaking doesn't work and she's able to get her fingers on the grip of her gun, she'll hold her purse so that the gun barrel facing opposite her and pointing toward her attacker...all they while playing up the distressed female angle to the hilt.

Unsure of what else he could possibly say to the police, Joe decides to turn his attention to keeping Professor Carter calm using his voice to try to soothe the disturbed man. When Lt. Poole approaches, Joe sighs inwardly. If asked by Poole, he'll repeat the same story to him that he told the other officers.

The policemen back up slightly and then drop their pistols into the pit. "Don't hurt her! We dropped our guns."
The negro then says "Come along then." and he begins to drag Evelyn down the corridor and up the stairs. Evelyn is able to slip her hand into her purse and grab hold of her gun but unless she realy twists in the man's grasp she will have a hard time getting a clean shot off.
Coming out into the shop. The man yells out at the policemen there. "I'm walking out and none of ya better gets in my way or the lady gets a new grin." He presses the edge of the machete against Evelyn throat to heighten his threat.
Out in the street, Lt. Poole and the other are shocked to see the nergo emerge from the alley with the lady reporter in his grasp. Upon seeing the group, the negro yells. "You bastards! You think you won? The only thing ya won is a slow death. Just ya wait! The God of the Bloody Tongue will feast! The Black Wind will come and all ya'lls cities will be ground ta dust. The Son will rip forth from his mother's womb and call the Others down. The sea's will boil and the earth rip open. Yall will neva sleep soundly with out the thought of ones of us sneakin in ya room and ripping ya guts out."

Seeing only one negro, Shorty smiles internally when he sees him walk up.
Assuming that Hamish still has his brass knuckles on from when he put them on for the fight, Shorty (using Inuendo) signals his brother to pound the negro in when he gets close enough to punce.
"I got you back, bro'ter" Shorty says to his brother under his breath.

[OOC: I hope Shorty can see that the man has a machete held to the throat of that dame reporter. ]
