"There is a town center, it's pretty small, but it's where everyone in our town goes to get things done. We have a small doctor's office, dentist, grocery store/ pharmacy, gas station, and a dinner." She says
"Is there an urgent care at least?" I ask
"No ma'am, we have two hospitals, about an hour away both ways." She answers pointing to north and east
"Well we should go see what they have," Allister says leaning down next to me.
" I suggest going after dark, that way you won't be out in broad daylight." Mabel offers
"Can he wait that long?" I ask Jenny
"I think if I can wrap him up with a cloth, he should be able to hold for a couple of hours." She confirms
"Okay let's move him inside," Allister says moving to pick him up
"Careful with is arm!" Jenny says moving to hold his arm up and Allister carry's him inside.
They place him on the large couch
"Jimmy, bill, one of y'all run upstairs and go bring us some clean shirts and alcohol" She says to her sons as they sit at the counter
"Yes ma'am." They says and argue about who does it before one runs off to fetch the stuff
Mabel walks over to the kitchen and pulls out some pill bottles
" here" she shoves a pill in marks mouth and he swallows
"It's a coagulant, to stop the bleeding." She moves to put the pills on the coffee table.
We all stare at her confused as to why she only has alcohol and shirts but a whole bottle of coagulants.
"I get clots about every time it rains, I would say I get them prescribed from my doctor, but if I'm honest I get ''em from my bingo buddy Frank." She snickers
"Wow, great story." Kat says mocking interest
The boys come back with a basket full of things.
Jenny picks up what seems to be old shirts. She quickly rips them apart and makes strips for mark
"Mark this is gonna hurt. I need you to bite down on this." She places a shirt between his mouth and waits for him to bite
"1,2,3!" She quickly pours alcohol over her hands then the wound and moves the bone back into place and touches around to feel it's correctly set.
"Unless I get those screws it's not going to set. Amora I need you wrap a cloth around his arm." She says
I grab a piece of cloth and slowly wrap it over her hands that hold his arm in place. Once the wrap is loosely covering his arm she removes her hand and applies two more bandages, snug around his arm.
"Okay this should hold him for now." She wipe the sweat from her brow
"Mabel do you have pain killers?" Jenny asks her
"I have alcohol." In one fluid motion She stands up to pull some strong liquor out of her pantry and walks back to mark
"Open." She tells him and he pulls his mouth apart.
She pour a large amount in his mouth and he winced but chugs it down.
"HE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE COAGULANTS WITH ALCOHOL!" she yells out but it's too late
Soon enough the pain fades slightly and he relaxes a little
"I guess we will just hope for the best." She claps her hands together
I check the clock over the kitchen table
3 o'clock.
"Well if we're done with him, I made lunch."Mabel says and pulls out a tray of sandwiches from the fridge.
She walks around handing each of us one.
We all take a bite and moan in delight.
"Are you guys really eating lunch, WHILE IM IN PAIN?!" Mark whines
"We'll mark, no one told you to climb on the roof so you can chat with your side piece." Dante says and takes another bite.

After our meal we all take turns waking mark up from his naps every 30 minutes, to ensure he has no concussion.
We all sit around patiently waiting for the time to pass, and eventually it turns 8:30 pm
"I think it's dark enough for us to go now."
Allister says while standing up
"So who is coming with?" Allister asks
"My boys can take you there, and show you where everything is." Mabel volunteers her sons, and they groan out unconvincing agreements.
"Dante?" Allister asks him
"Why not?" Dante shrugs and agrees to go
"Alright, and Gabriel do you mind staying back with the girls?" Allister asks Him.
"No of course not." Gabriel sighs in relief.
"I want to go." I tell Allister
"No." He says
"Alright now Dante , go get your things and meet back here." Allister says before walking off.
I move to go after him and Emi stops me
"Why do you want to go?" Emi asks confused
"Because I was in nursing school, for 2 and half years, I'm the only other one besides Jen who knows what the stuff we need looks like." I say and cross my arms
"And..." Emi says for me to continue not buying my façade
"And... I want to make sure Allister stays safe." I quickly finish
"Okay fine, don't do anything crazy or stupid." Emi hugs me before letting me run after Allister.
I meet him in our room
"I want to go." I say to his back
"I said no." He doesn't even turn to face me as he places his weapons in his bag.
I move around to stand in-front of him and slam his bag shut
"Let me go with you." I say getting in his face
"Im not taking you Amora."
"Im gonna go anyways, so just give in."
"If you get hurt while you're out with me, I will never forgive myself." He says staring straight into my soul
"And what if you get hurt while I'm stuck here, please." I beg and I grip onto his shirt
"Please." I ask again
"...Alright fine. But, you will not wander away, and you will listen to everything I tell you, when I tell you." He raises his eyebrow waiting for me to agree.
"Deal." I agree and move to pick up my large jacket before turning back to him
"Come on, let's go." I say while putting my arms through my jacket.
