Chris,"If we push you too much, you'll only get worse. That's not what we're going to do. Don't worry, just try to relax."
I can't relax, but I can try. I lay against the chair and find myself almost asleep. I try to force myself to stay awake, but I can't.
***
I wake up and feel that I'm being moved. When I open my eyes, I see thatim on Chris' back. He's carrying me on his back. I decide against talking because I feel a lot better than I did earlier. I close my eyes again, but can't fall asleep, now that I want to. I feel like a rookie, and I am in this situation. I'm one of the youngest here. Sherry's young too, but she went through Raccoon as a child, so I wouldn't consider her a rookie. Jake has the C-Virus to back him up, so I wouldn't consider him a rookie either. Leon and Chris are the most experienced here. Why does Chris trust me so much? I'm the least experienced. A door opens, and I hear a helicopter. Opening my eyes, I see that we're outside. Chris puts me on, laying me on the seats. The doors are closed, and we accend. It gets quiet, aside from what you would normally hear in a helicopter. I feel hands on my head and decide to open my eyes. Sherry is changing my bandage on my forehead. She sees that I'm awake and smile,"How do you feel?"
"Like a million bucks."
She smile, and I attempt to smile back. When she's done wrapping my head, she goes over to Chris. I miss what she says, but Chris comes over to me,"You did great today. Our mission was a success. Now try to get some rest."
I shake my head slightly,"All I did was get hurt and make you carry me out of there."
He laughs a little,"No, you saved my life today and saved me from getting hurt another time. I owe you. It would've been worse if I had been hit with that bomb too. You went threw a lot today. I'm glad I brought you with."
