Ask what's going on
With punk disguise:
One of the students looks over. "Yeah, get down here," he gestures behind a pile of masonry.
"These guards aren't here to make sure the building gets up, they're trying to make sure we don't find something. So we're trying to find it… and they don't like that at all."
"Just, you know, keep your head down or get a disguise put together. We've gotta kill this… fuck…" While he was talking, the guard seems to have wandered to a different section of the construction site.
With construction worker disguise:
The student shakes his mohawked head. "No time to talk, it's like a fucking warzone in here."
But by the time he's finished, their target has already moved on.
Otherwise…
When you get their attention, one yells "more fucking guards!" and jumps at you. The noise attracts the attention of the actual guard, who cuts down the other with a rattle of automatic fire.
Fight Punk Student
Leave them be
You turn and wander off, hearing screaming and a short scuffle. The guard didn't even get a shot off, which you suppose means their ambush was successful.
