Sebastian looked down when he felt the wetness soaking his shirt and his heart broke seeing his daughter so scared and beaten. He held her tighter and sped up the pace. They had encountered a couple of guards but before they could sound the alarm, Jack took them out swiftly. They were just outside the threshold of the exit when the bells started to ring. "They probably found the bodies." Jack mumbled, glancing back. Sebastian grunted in acknowledgement and they put in a burst of speed, disappearing into the bushes and making a roundabout way to the street where Jack had flagged down a cab. Even after they had climbed into the carriage and settled down, Sebastian didn't let go of his daughter. He pressed a kiss to the top of her head, "You're safe, love. No one can touch you anymore."

Jack was staring at the two of them, feeling tears prickling at the edges of his eyes. He closed them and took a deep breath, expelling all his rage and worry in a shaky exhale.

Seeing him become a blubbering mess made Josephine breathe easier. It was easier to understand that it was all an act when he apologized profusely. He never meant what he did. She rubbed her cheek a bit, testing her jaw, "It's alright." She said, giving him a smile and patting his cheek, "You're a good actor." She was about to go on when she heard the muffled bells from inside. "That's our cue to go, I'm guessing." She said, taking Eli's hand and running down the steps to the streets, "Let's hope Jack and the Captain got out alright." She prayed silently that they did.
