Then he turns to move quickly away, the same hand reaching out to Ryou to again guide him if needed, pulling him away from the danger. Every few steps, Costigan casts a glance over his shoulder to ensure the gang is still walking away, returning to the business they were conducting before the kid interrupted.]
