Long, Ransom, and Ed—the lackey—would be left behind in District Five with Tomie's people and the residents of Gigante.
As for Lola, she would head to the main city with the boss, Florida, the Bellemonte captives, and Tomie. Each of them had different agendas. Tomie would focus on reinforcements and the innocents in the main city. Although the majority of the population in the main city consisted of mercenaries, there were still civilians living there.

"Chief!" the man shouted from behind a truck, jumping off the vehicle as it skidded to a halt.
Lola, Florida, and Tomie—who were preparing to leave the district—turned toward him. Seeing the urgency in his movements, their shoulders tensed.
"What is it?" Tomie asked grimly, reaching out to grab the man's shoulder to keep him from crashing into them. "What happened?"
