Alright. I'll see what I can find here- this used to be a safe house of sorts so I'm sure there are things hidden away that no one has found. A gun, gil, something.

[And hopefully there won't be a repeat of the last time the Turks had left him here by himself. At least this time Rufus was in better condition to fight back against anyone who tried kidnap him again even if he was currently unarmed.

I'll be here. [His voice was quiet this time but firm, a promise that he wouldn't let the past repeat itself this time.]
