Armani is jerked back as Eddy is hoisted up. "No!" he shouts, still chasing Eddy's hand even after the boy's let go. He grabs hold of Eddy where he can and beats at the point of the vine hoisting Eddy up with the only thing he has immediately on hand: his phone. With the flashlight still on, it creates a mild strobing effect each time he strikes down on it.

"Let go of him!" he snarls, teeth bared. And, using the sharpest weapon on him, he bites into the vine. This is a good idea.
