In the common area-
Thomas saw to his dismay that the Grease gun did not appear to have a fire selection switch. There was no way to fire a single shot, only a burst. If he fired down the narrow cell block hallway, there was a good chance he'd hit someone innocent, such as Ashley. Lynne's Grease gun was no doubt identical.
"Hold your fire," whispered Lynne. "They've got Ashley and Rosie." Then a shot rang out in the far distance, back the way they had come, but only Lynne could see the source of it. "It's Hammond, all the way back at the gate. He's shooting at..." She gasped. "He's been bitten..."
"I see you!" called a skinhead standing behind Earl with a large pistol pointed at his back. "Throw the weapons down now, or someone dies!"
Lynne dropped her Grease gun and curled up in the fetal position on the floor, whimpering softly.

"Lynne?" Thomas says, watching as she drops her gun. "What are you doing?'
The skinhead's warning along with his inability to fire a single shot causes him to hesitate, and he looks towards Charlie, unsure what to do. He does not want to risk hitting one of the hostages; especially Ashley. But how could they trust that they wouldn't just be killed after giving up? He decides to go along with whatever Charlie does here, reasoning he knows better.

In the common area-
Charlie's lip curled with barely suppressed rage, but he held his fire. Finally, he threw down his M-16, knife, and crowbar, and Beth did likewise with her weapons. Thomas followed suit with his Grease Gun and frying pan.
"Good!" called the skinhead with the large pistol who had spoken earlier, who wore a red beret. "Now keep your hands up and move away from the weapons, but stay where we can see you! One wrong move and..." He glanced back for a second. "That Marine took care of the dead guy, but Hammond got away."
Charlie, Thomas, and Beth did as they were told. Lynne remained curled up on the floor, sobbing.
"Never mind," said Horst. "He's just one man. What can he possibly do? Anyway, we got his wife and his brother here." The group advanced through the cell block, stopping outside the open door to cell number four where the girl was still screaming. "She ain't going nowhere. We'll get her on the way back. Keep moving, I want those guns." They proceeded through the cell block and into the shower room.

Thomas' heart sinks, but he follows Charlie's lead. He knows he does not have it in him to get into a gunfight when the other side had hostages. He hates himself for it. He could-not defend his mom from his father, and he couldn't even defend Ash either.
He does as the skinhead says, feeling intense self loathing and sorry for himself. So much for being the hero.
