Please help me phrase this sentence

Which one of the two versions do you prefer?


1) The flight attendants escort the drunk man back to his seat, but as they are about to (go)/(leave)/(leave him), he rises from his seat again.

2) The flight attendants escort the drunk man back to his seat and are about to (go)/(leave)/(leave him) when he rises from his seat again.


Is it natural to use 'go', 'leave', or 'leave him' here? Or would it be better to write something like '...about to head back to the galley...'?
