A House Divided [Part 3]

[cityship]

[Instructions: Here.]

Despite a few tricks up their sleeves, the Conspirators hardly stood a chance. It's all or nothing as they make a few last ditch attempts to kill the Yeerk, and as the fight grinds to a screeching halt.

Will they kill the Yeerk?

Will someone other than the Yeerk get killed in the crossfire?

Hunter shook his head quickly. "Go help your friend. I can be over there in a minute if you need me to." He looks tired, and he is, but right now making sure everyone was all right is more important.

Kate took another tentative step, and then started to run. Though that made her stumble, and have to fight the urge to throw up.

"Cassie? Oh god what happened?" Her expression became more stricken as she got a better view of her wounded friend.

"Same that happened to you." Cassie pointed at Kate's leg. "Don't worry about me." O.K. she was going to stop talking now, really. For about five seconds.

Jonas gently extracted the air-suction tube from Cassie's chest and moved to collect Kate and bring her over to where Cassie lay.

"[Running on that leg is not going to do anything good for it, or for you,]" he reminded her gently. "[Let me help.]"

She would protest, but everything was tilting to the side and spinning again. Kate allowed herself to be brought closer to sit. And it just pained her more as she realized that Cassie nearly died.

And where was she to offer backup?

Nowhere near.

"Oh Cassie sweetie, I am so sorry. I didn't know where you two went, and I..." She trailed off as her head lolled slightly. Trying to stay conscious.

"If the people who have been shot could please try to stop talking." That's about as assertive as Hunter gets, and it's not going to stop anyone. Glancing over at Kate for a moment, he tries to get a sense of how bad her injuries were. It didn't look too bad; the bullet appeared to have missed all the major arteries in her leg, and if she could walk it probably meant no bones were broken.

"...We'll be good," Kate replied weakly. She wasn't too bad, the leg was still bleeding freely, but no broken bones. The bullet landed in the fleshy part of the calf. The concussion from being knocked out by a stray piece of rock was more of a problem, and there was slight blood from the side of her head.
