when he puts his hand over her mouth she has to resist every instinct to dig her teeth into his hands, but the only thing that stops her is the fact that he’s a doctor and those hands have saved her before. as a patrol drives by she feels her stomach drop and her eyes widen in surprise and confusion. they weren’t supposed to come over here.
‘ huh? ’ is all she can muster as they sat in stagnant old rain water, a chill taking over her body as his words circled around in her brain. ‘ bad? what — is it me? did they find out about the guns? or — ’ the drugs, but she wouldn’t dare say that to max.
she gets to her feet and steps out of the puddle, her shoes squeaking with every squishy step she takes. ‘ no offense, doc, but you shouldn’t be out here. we need to get you back home, okay? we gotta go — ’
she’s slightly panicked, pacing and squeaking around. he had value — her on the other hand? she couldn’t fix anybody. not like a medic could. a rarity this day. ‘ first you gotta tell me what i should be so worried about. ’ / @endlessdrifter cont.
