Well, this kid had fight in him, slinging some simple box of instant meal - which was caught in midair using the Force. Floating right there, it was forgotten in the immediate, when he was about to threaten or talk to the kid again when he took of running.
Which when the invisible line went taunt, Galen was greeted by a sharp pain. Nope. Galen dug his heels in and used the Force to hold himself firm and solid letting whoever this was to find himself on his ass. "Are you done?" Galen growled at the weird webslinging moron. "Don't you get it, we're stuck." Was his acute observation. "Something is connecting us, and it's the town that's doing it." To convey his point he took a couple steps backwards and pulled his new partner in crime along the floor.
Now his point was made, and the pain was starting to subside, he moved his hand to cause the kid to raise up to his feet using the Force. "Do us both a favor, and try thinking before doing. I don't want to drag around a dead body for however long I'm stuck with you."
