Janet winced at Peter's casual description of the corpse. Whoever it was had once been a living person with hopes, dreams and fears the same as themselves. She felt that they deserved more respect, however, there was still the most important revelation; someone upstairs. Janet fingered the bow slung over her shoulder but it would be no use inside the house, she would be more hindrance than help. "I'll go and warn the others and wait outside. You don't need me to get in the way" she whispered.

Going back outside, Janet retrieved Sultan from Billie and explained what was happening inside. As she did so she glanced towards the upstairs windows on the offchance that she might see someone moving there.

Leon can hear the movement of someone on the stairs, the snorting of horses outside.....and maybe Janets voice...he's not 100% sure

Laura searches the pockets of the body, she finds a wallet with his student ID in, Thomas Drake was his name. She finds a penknife (pretty new looking) and a cylindrical object it has a lid which opens to reveal a needle. Laura thinks it is insulin.

Janet can't see anything moving upstairs,

Lucus thinks he is being really stealthy, he starts to smell a stale vomit/alcohol smell the closer he gets.

A shiver coursed through Leon’s spine as he slowly realised that he wasn’t alone. The indignity of his situation was going to be seen by others. The idea appalled and repelled him, particularly as he thought he had just heard Janet. He shook his head trying to physically remove that thought, no his addled mind must be playing tricks on him he hoped. He wanted to hide, wanted to be rid of himself, to escape this reality but even as he heard the stairs creak again he knew that was impractical and impossible. He look down at the wet patch on his trousers and dried vomit on his shirt he gulped back a sob, how could he face anyone in this state. He head ached as his eyes darted around looking for a hiding place, but he knew as soon as he moved the game would be up, better to face whoever it was coming up head on, he decided.

Lucas barely dared to breath as his foot hit the top step, his crossbow at the ready Lucas glanced about in the darkness, finding the nearest available door and opening it slowly, the tip of a loaded crossbow bolt pointed ready to shoot.

Laura took the items she found, definitely keeping the pen knife for herself. The other item....Maybe someone could use it for something.

"Peter said there was definitely someone upstairs but I can't see anyone up there" Janet muttered as she squinted at the windows. It was likely that whoever it was had heard them enter the house and was either hiding or lying in wait. "I didn't see Lucas or Laura when I went in, if they've gone up there to check I hope they're being careful" she said. It was probable that the person was armed and could be male or female, however, the images that danced through her mind were those of the guards who had attacked her. There was a corpse in there as well, what if the person was sick? Unpleasant images of disease added themselves to the ones already in her mind. Janet bit her lip with worry, there was nothing she could do but wait and she felt impotent and helpless.
