To the hospital

Austin immediately pulls away from the curb to follow Katie's directions. As he drives, he shakes his head. "Thanks, Katie."

Con replies to Rosetta. "Yeah, we're going to the hospital. Jason's in pretty bad shape. I'd high tail it out of there before those guys get back. Though...you might want to stay at a distance and see if you can get a better look at them. Might be something we could use."

Mick exchanges a look with Rosetta as they get back to his truck. "I think luck was on our side with two really stupid criminals...but it feels too quiet...can't be a trap though, or they would have sprung it already..." He questions her and Damien. "Want to stick around or follow them to the hospital?"

Jason manages a small bite of orange, but coughs and refuses more. He winces as Katie cleans some of his cuts. "My face... feels like it's on fire," he mumbles, not realizing the severity of the knife wound across his eye and down his face. He frowns and tries to bring Katie's face into focus, but it's still a blur. "Thanks for....finding...me... I knew..." He coughs again, but still tries to talk. "I knew you'd come..."

As they hit a bump in the road, Jason's leg shifts and he cries out. Sweat trickles down the side of his temple as he breathes through the pain.

Con looks back at him with concern. "Hang on, Hotshot..."
