Salem was going to mention that just ten of them shouldn't be -too- much of an issue, with a decent amount of positioning. And the fact that Smitty was apparently part of some kind of entourage would work in their favour too, right? He could just call his allies over or something to that effect, surely?
But then Smitty just up and grabbed him and started moving. After throwing something at the threatening lead man. That worked too. Salem did have a kid with him, after all.
Scooping Robert up under his left arm, Salem was hot on Smitty's tail; his slightly bemused expression leading into his question towards Smitty rather naturally. "Not your friends then, I take it?" With a small hum of excitement, Salem tossed a glance over his shoulder briefly towards the group behind -- eyes focusing for a short time on the snaking wisp of red smoke that rose into the sky. "Nifty. Some form of signal? Guess that's why you couldn't just 'call' anyone over..." Words spoken mostly to himself, Salem finally looked back ahead. "Do we have a place we're heading, or is the general plan just 'run fast'? Because I'm fine with either."
