Ducking behind another bookshelf, Azulius peeked out just enough to plan his next moves. There were six goons in total, with two of them guarding the doors out of the library. Another was playing lookout for the prison librarian and any guards, which left just three who were looking for him. Based on their stances, all of them had some kind of shiv hidden on their person. Since all three of them had split up to search for him, there was a chance he could even the odds by picking them off one at a time. Just like trying to stealth a bank, only backwards.

The dumbest of the three searchers turned a corner, only to be distracted by another flying red object. Since the library didn't have any apples, Azzie was forced to make to with a pocket-sized copy of The Communist Manifesto, which was still small, bright red, and easily thrown. As the Sapian member turned his head, the heister stepped out of hiding and swung with his law book, knocking the man out in one blow. Sadly, the impact of the book on the prisoner and the prisoner on the floor let everyone in the room know where he was. The heister evaded through a few aisles of shelves, then threw the enormous book at another thug who took it on the nose, fell and crashed into the hard floor.

At this point, one of the door guards chose to join the fight, and Azulius soon found himself fending for his life against two much larger, stronger men. With his black eye and half-healed bruises from the night before, things weren't looking good, until a team of guards pushed into the library, bristling with equipment. As he turned out of the way of yet another slash, he felt a shooting pain in his left arm, and saw the shiv sticking out of his bicep, spraying a lot of blood. Azzie wasn't super well versed in anatomy, but it looked like Mikey's lackey had managed to shiv him straight in the brachial artery. Depending on one's heart rate and other factors, it was possible to bleed out in under 5 minutes. As he watched the guards subdue and zip-tie the other inmates, the world was already turning more than a little fuzzy...
