"What the hell was that Kev?", AJ asked under his breath.
"I have no frickin clue."
They clung to the side of the bed and waited to hear something.
They heard a series of similar screams, all seeming to be from pain. "AJ, those are screams of pain."
"What?"
"C'mon!"
Kevin jumped up from he bed next to AJ, crawled over the big pile of junk in the middle, and ran to the back bed, AJ not too far behind.
Kevin stopped at the bed and saw Nick laying there whimpering.
"Nick! You blacked out cold!"
"Yeah, no shit! This hurts like hell Kev! I can't take the pain no more! Just stop the pain Kev!"
"Nick, keep the blanket pressed on your leg hard so no blood comes out."
"I can't!"
AJ walked up to Nick.
"We don't wanna lose ya buddy, so I'm afraid I'm gonna have to do it for ya."
AJ took the blanket and pressed it hard on Nick's knee and he screamed probably one of the loudest screams you could hear in a lifetime.
"Kevin, stay here with Nick and try getting Brian up. I'm gonna get Howie over here so we can get the hell outta here."
AJ jumped over the pile, picked up Howie's limp body and dragged him to the bed.
Nick stared at Brian and Howie in horror.
"Are they...?"
"No Nick, they're not. They're just unconscious."
"Howie doesn't look too good."
Kevin checked Howie's pulse, breathing and heartbeat.
"He's alive, he has a pulse, regular heartbeat, but he's breathing really shallow."
Kevin wiped Brian's forhead with a corner of a blanket.
"Cmon Brian, get up. Get up... get up... We really need you to get up now buddy."
Out of nowhere Brian screamed and jumped up, causing Kevin to almost fall off the bed.
"Where the hell am I?"
"Long story Bri."
"What happened?"
"We'll tell you later cuz."
AJ walked over to the shattered window.
"Brian and Nick - can you guys walk?"
Nick looked up at AJ. "I might be able to if someone helped me."
"Brian?"
"I don't know..."
Kevin patted Brian's back. "AJ, is there something wrong with him?"
"Na, probably just shock. He's getting over fainting and the earlier scene."
AJ and Kevin helped Brian and Nick crawl out the window while Kevin carried Howie out. Howie had a large cut down the whole side of his left jawbone - really deep.
Brian was wearing nothing but some baggy jeans, a white t-shirt and a large sports jacket - probably Kevin or Nick's from the size.
AJ and Kevin had both thrown on some clothes, jeans and shirts, but no jackets. Nick had on sweat pants, but the one pants leg was rolled up to the knee from his cut. Howie was wearing the clothes from the day before.
AJ held Brian's hand and was helping Nick walk while Kevin carried Howie's light body. The full moon was so bright it seemed almost like daylight. The brightest moon they had ever seen in their lifetime's. They began walking the long night of hell.
