Kevin and AJ had to hold on to the window frame to stay from falling down the hall. (Yeah, it sounds weird I know)
"Kev? Are you alive?"
"Yeah, are you?"
"Dueee"
"Okay, good. We gotta find Nick and Howie fast and get outta here."
"Uh-huh. And what about Brian?"
"You stay here with 'em. K Bone? Try getting him awake."
AJ sighed and agreed.
Kevin slowly walked down the hall, making sure he was constantly holding on to something sturdy.
The bus was totaled. Every window was shattered, the front was crushed, the bunks were in the middle of the hall, all broken up, the doors that were closed were now hanging open, and everything that was packed somewhere was now laying around either on the floor, in a bunk, outside, or ... lost.
When Kevin got to the bunks, he heard someone's voice.
"Hello?"
He heard someone say something quietly, but couldn't make out who was saying it or what they were saying.
He walked closer to the bunks, which were all broken, on top of each other, and laying in the middle of the hall, almost up to the ceiling.
Kevin moved some junk out of the way. He heard someone say something that sounded like... 'Kev'
He shoved more crap out of the way and found the voice. It was Nick. He was laying in the top bunk which was quite easy to get to and was whimpering softly.
"Kev? Is that you?"
"Yeah buddy, it's me. I'm here and everything's okay. What's the matter?"
"Where's Brian?"
Kevin didn't expect that question.
"He's... in the back with AJ. I think he'll be fine."
"And Howie?"
"We haven't found him yet. What's the matter Nick?"
"Uh ... my leg hurts really bad, and it's getting numb. I feel like I'm gonna faint Kev!"
"Hold on... I'll help you get to the back of the bus in a sec. Orright?"
"Okay..."
Kevin could tell Nick was taking short large breaths. That was not a good sign. They had to get Brian up, find Howie and get out of this nightmare fast.
"AJ, I found Nick."
AJ looked up from Brian.
"Where?"
"In his bunk. He said his leg hurt, it was getting numb and that he felt like he was gonna faint. And he's not breathing well."
"Then get him back here."
Kevin went back to Nick.
"Okay, Nick, I'm gonna lift you up on the count of three. Okay?"
"Um... Okay."
"Alright. One ... two ... three!"
On three Kevin lifted him up. Nick yelped and started seeing spots.
He quickly brought him back to AJ's bed and laid him down.
"AJ? Is that you?"
"Yeah Nick, it's me. Just lay back and relax."
"My leg hurts really bad."
"How bad bud?"
"I think I might pass out ... literally."
"Uh ... okay, hold on."
AJ took the blanket from the bed and put in on Nick's leg, which was bloody and had a deep cut in it, probably from a butcher knife in the now destroyed kitchen.
He pressed it on Nick's leg hard to stop the blood. Nick looked at Kevin with pleading eyes and squeezed his hand as hard as he could. He heard someone say something about 'not enough blood' or something before he passed out.
