Jason and Ana hold Kyle in their laps. Jason's heart beats with an intense fury. They do what they can to stop the bleeding but their is so much. Kyle's breathing is ragged and shallow. Each sharp inhale sound's painful as the blood rushes down him. The carpet they all sit down on is dyed in reds, browns and pinks as more blood pools around them. Ana is crying and whispering to herself. She keeps looking at Kyle's face and their hands. So much blood. Jason can hear her begs, "Please be okay. Please." Over and over again she calls to anything out there to save him.
Anyone.
SLAM!
The door swings open and Carry rushes into their apartment arms wide open. Both her hands are full; one with her keys and the other a bag of supplies. She is dressed in blue and black sweats, her hair is tied into a messy bun and it's clear she didn't think twice about rushing here. Jason's beating heart finally finds some relief in seeing her. Carry looks over the scene in front of her. Her face drops as she rushes to Kyle and sets her bag down.
"What happened?" Carry asks as she opens up her bag. She takes out disinfectant, gloves, and prep tools to begin working on him.
Ana's breath speeds up, "I- I don't know. Some Men.. Our Uncle. They-They beat him. They.. wanted money. They.."
Jason puts his hand on her shoulder. "It's okay Ana. Everything will be okay." He tries to comfort her even if it means lying. Jason looks at Carry with tears in his eyes but fighting them from falling. "Thank you. I didn't know what to do. Our family owed some people money. We didn't know who it was until now."
Carry is gloved and sanitized and starts to look at Kyle's wounds. "That's.. A lot. I'm sorry to all of you. I'll do what I can." She begins by cleaning around the most visible gashes and tears on Kyle's face. Each mark that was caused by the smack of the metal cane tearing his face open. Carry was a trained Doctor but it had been awhile since she had seen something like this.
Jason knew there wasn't anything else he could do besides wait.
