And it wasnтАЩt like his little flight of fancy had been a Zen frickinтАЩ experience. The burn in his face from all that wind, the aches in his shoulders and his back, the wobbly legsтАФhe felt like he was still up there, still praying to nothing he believed existed, still and forever on the verge.

Of dying.

Plus he was so damn embarrassedтАФbreaking down in front of Z like that? Come on. What a fucking pussy.

тАЬMind if I take a look?тАЭ Doc Jane said as she approached the crowd.

Yeah, good idea. The whole purpose of this was because Z had been injured badly enough not to be able to dematerialize.

тАЬQhuinn?тАЭ the female said.

тАЬIтАЩm sorry?тАЭ Oh, he was in the way. тАЬHere, let me get out of theтАФтАЭ

тАЬNo, not Zsadist. You.тАЭ

тАЬHuh?тАЭ

тАЬYouтАЩre bleeding.тАЭ

тАЬAm I?тАЭ

The doctor turned his hands over. тАЬSee?тАЭ Sure enough, his palms were dripping red. тАЬYou just wiped your face. You have a deep cut on your head.тАЭ

тАЬOh. Okay.тАЭ Maybe that was why he felt so spacey? тАЬWhat about ZтАФтАЭ

тАЬMannyтАЩs already in there.тАЭ

Huh. Guess heтАЩd missed that part. тАЬYou want to look at me here?тАЭ

She laughed a little. тАЬHow about we get you back to the houseтАФif you can walk.тАЭ

тАЬIтАЩll take care of himтАФтАЭ

тАЬLet me get himтАФтАЭ

тАЬIтАЩll take himтАФтАЭ

тАЬGot himтАФтАЭ

The chorus of volunteers was a surprise, and so were all the helping arms that appeared from out of nowhere: He was literally enveloped by thick fighting arms, and all but carried away from the site like someone surfing the crowd at a concert.

He glanced back, hoping to see Blay, praying to meet the guyтАЩs eyes, just to connect, even though that was crazyтАФ

But Blay was there.

That beautiful blue stare was right there, so steady and true as it met his own that he felt like breaking down all over again. And he drew strength from those eyes, just as heтАЩd done back when theyтАЩd spent so much time together. The truth was that he wished it were Blay getting him back to the mansion, but no one said shit to the Brotherhood when they kicked in en masse like this. And besides, no doubt the guy would feel like that was too close.

Qhuinn refocused on the way ahead. HolyтАжshitтАж
