Berman leads the others (Darian, Ru, Torhan, Sasha, and the hunched madman) back to Hieran and Templeton. He is still in Markovstrasse, accompanied by four enforcers and two carriages, one passenger, one hearse. They are busy loading the corpse of the other bird-man into the hearse and keeping the growing throng of gawkers at bay. A bloody stain is all that remains of the driver now.Out of the passenger cabin steps Gis. He turns to his charges, and states, "Perrin told us there was trouble. It looks rather public. I'll take care of this crowd, but you will need to leave the area for a few hours so as not to cause more of a stir." He indicates the passenger carriage. "Go, now. Everything should be waiting for you back at at the headquarters."The hunchback is put in heavy manacles and searched. A sash is lined with a multitude of tiny blades, plenty of extra scalpels, and taken from him. The ride back is crowded, filled with eight people. Sasha wraps herself around Torhan in an attempt to make space. Temp sits as far away from the madman as possible, who is mostly unresponsive but seems somewhat agitated. The carriage arrives back home, and Perrin waits out front to meet the investigators. "Welcome back," he starts, "Ada and Pigglemorth are waiting in one of our protection rooms. Where should we place these new folks?"</blockquote>
