"Aye!" The idea of shelter sounds wonderful to Jamie, and he cranes his head to see if he can spot it from his position. The fact that he can see where they are headed gives him just as much relief as Kaylee had gotten a moment ago.

It really does help, those little things.

Adrenaline takes the edge off the pain as he moves to load the gun one last time. Once it wears off he's likely going to want to collapse, but for now it's enough to push him through. He gives Kaylee fair warning before firing again, and the shell streaks through the air behind them. At this range, it's really just a deterrent - something to buy them that precious time they need to reach the shelter.

The sounds of enemy fire continue to grow fainter as they leave the emplacement behind them. "C'mon," he urges, almost under his breath. Please let them get there.
