A "Yeah, sure, sure."

"Using Fang as a second foot, I eventually make it to the bench."
"I still can’t bend either leg, so I just sort of splay against the sidewalk."
"Fang sits on the other end and starts digging through her pockets."
F "Uhh… I think I heard somewhere that nicotine relieves a bit of pain... "
A "Yeah… I could use a smoke… right about now."
"Fang retrieves one of the cigarettes from the crumpled pack and sparks it to life with her pink lighter."
"She takes the first draw, then hands it to me."
"I inhale slowly, my chest aching as my lungs fill with wonderfully numbing nicotine."
"The minty taste and the cool sensation settling over my skin does help to relax my painfully tense muscles."
"Before I know it the cigarette in my fingers is nothing but a smoldering filter."
F "Looks like our ride’s here."
"A grimy beater of a taxi pulls up to the curb, driven by an equally grimy velociraptor."
"Clearly one of the three left operating in the city."
"Fang helps me to my feet and over to the cab, opening the door so I can shamble in."
D "...Shit, kid, you look like you got into a fight with a steamroller and lost."
A "Mmm."

D "Now where’re you kids heading on a school day? Maybe the hospital?"
A "Home."
D "Sure thing kid. Got the address."
A "...Two-thirty-seven South St. Hammond street."
"The driver sucks in a breath through his teeth."
D "Skin Row, eh? Well I can take you s’far as the edge of the neighborhood, deal?"
A "Yeah, whatever. Just take me home…"
"The cab speeds off away from the school."
F "...I still can’t believe that Trish would do something like that."
"The cab driver lets out a laugh."
D "You got your ass handed to you by a girl, didn’t you?"
"I don’t bother responding while Fang kicks the back of his seat."
D "Yeah, yeah, I didn’t want a tip much anyways…"
F "Why doesn’t the driver want to drive all the way to your place?"
F "It can’t be that bad, right?"
A "Uhhh… That reminds me."
A "Hold this… for me."
"I toss my pocket knife into Fang’s lap, she looks at me with a nervous smile like she expects a punchline."
F "..."
F "...Oh."
A "Joking… kinda…"
A "Haven’t needed to shiv someone yet..."
"Talking hurts, breathing too."
"Each breath I take feels like my ribs are gonna shatter."
"Fang must have noticed since she kept silent after that."
D "Alrighty, end of the line."
D "That’ll be fifteen bucks even."
A "There’s still a few blocks we gotta walk."

F "Wait, you still can’t walk, right?"
"I can probably make it a good fifty yards."
F "Hang on, give me your shoulder."
A "No, don’t worry abou-"
"Ignoring my protests, Fang wraps my arm around her back for support."
F "Where are we going?"
A "Uhh… First turn is a right up here…"
"Wait… Fang is coming over to my place?"
"Fang is coming over to my place?"
