Xian stood up but Matthew raised his hand to stop them from their places. 

Matthew walked slowly as he was assessing the surroundings of the kitchen, and he stopped on the side of the diner table. Xian, Carmela, Abbey, and Marcus stayed in the living room. They were exchanging alarmed glances and nodded at each other. 

Xian opened up his jacket and revealed a set of knives inside, picking up the sheaths, making a load of his clothes lightened up a bit. Carmela retrieved a handgun from the backside of her high-waisted jeans and slid a cartridge. She wielded it as she sighed and gave it to Marcus.
