Figure they might follow us eventually.

[ Maybe he's wrong, but years of a life among varied gangs and criminal activities in Baltimore just gets his hackles up. Whatever the fuck happened to this guy choking out his last breath in front of them, it's just as likely to be a random mugging gone wrong as it is to be more. A guy falling from above them — it just makes him think they were up on the roof, maybe threatening him, maybe he was bargaining for his life.

There's not a lot Amos thinks or feels one way or another about this guy himself. He doesn't know him, and he can't conjure much in the way of emotion about him. But the things that happened to lead to this, and what could happen if they just walk away now, that's what occupies his mind more than anything. ]


And if they do, then it's on their terms and I don't like waitin' around.

[ He would prefer not to be involved in this at all, but the time for that passed the minute they started down this road. He's not motivated by the concept of saving anyone at this point, it's more the idea that there's more trouble and it's just waiting out there. He's more used to Holden or Naomi deciding these things, and he just goes along with them, so some part of him has to wonder what the right thing really is right now. So he looks to Lucina again. ]

Check the roof first?
