That sure was a look they exchanged, and it's not like Jack can really deviate from the usual clear-the-room routine, not without coming up with some kind of an explanation for it. And, as he's learned, he's really really bad at coming up with stories on the fly. And Sinclair's relying on him to get rid of the danger, on top of all that -- it's not like he can expect the guy to come with him into the middle of a firefight, chemical thrower or not. We all saw what happened when he did that in Olympus Heights.
And then the moment is past, Sinclair is gone, and Jack kind of has his decision made for him by virtue of not making one.
He's starting to hate it when that happens.
The sound of splicers is coming from down the stairs, somewhere around the waiting room -- and rapidly approaching by the noise of it. He'd better get on. Jack leaves the thrower behind -- he has better melee weapons with more easily-scavenged ammo -- and jogs ahead to cut them off on the stairs.
There are a few of them, a real goon rush befitting of an important discovery. Some with guns, some with ice, some scuttling on the walls. Those sounds of fighting that Sinclair hears will be loud and brutal.
