[One good thing about needing to haul two sleepy kids to the getaway-ship is that they're conked out enough not to argue when Gilbert picks them up and carries them all the way to the Hold. Both Oz and Collette would argue about leaving, he's sure. They'd insist on staying, get caught up in more trouble and risk getting hurt or killed by the end of this terrible week. And that's not something that Gilbert is willing to risk.
They'll be the first group to leave, he learns as he arrives. As much as he wishes he could wait for confirmation that this wasn't a terrible trick, they can't turn away now. If anything goes wrong, Gilbert knows he can simply use Raven to get them somewhere else in a hurry, even at the cost of his own stability.
It doesn't take him long to pack up everything that they own. No one in this city has much of anything sentimental, but Gilbert has made sure to pack away anything that he finds in both Collette and Oz's rooms that looks important. He even rolls up the things that Collette has displayed on the walls of their apartment and stuffed them into the knick-knack bag. Their clothes are all collected up and packed into two separate bags as well, along with their tablets. Gil's own clothing, save for a change of socks and underwear, has been abandoned. They need to account for Collette's wheelchair along with everything else, after all, and he has nothing of sentimental value to account for.
You might catch sight of him on the way to the Hold or inside of it preparing to depart, a sleepy blond haired boy on his back, and an equally sleepy young girl being pushed down the street in a wheelchair, several heavy bags hanging off of his arms and a violin case swinging on two fingers which are also grasping the wheelchair handle. He lingers around the Hold once they're strapped into their seats, but only long enough to send messages out to a few people that he hasn't run into yet. After that, he's on the ship with the rest of them.]
