Nathan Drake sat in a precarious situation. He awoke to see he was bleeding out, "Ugh..What's going on...?" He whispered out, he looks over to see Emma unconscious and her right side and left arm bleeding, her right side being the major injury.

He looks down at his own injury and says, "That's my blood, that's a lot of my blood...." he starts to move and shakes Emma awake, "Ughh....aghh my side....losing....so..much...blood..." she muttered out, she looks over at him saying, "Nate, we have to get out of here. This car is going to fall off soon, at least...I....think....." she groans out the last part and suddenly their seat falls.

Emma manages to grab onto the rail at the back of the outside of the train car, and grabs Nathan's hand when he misses the rail she was grabbing. "Hang on, I've got you Nate..." she groaned again the pain from her right side growing.

Using what little strength she had, Emma tossed Nathan a few feet in the air and he grabbed onto the same rail hanging on for dear life. "We're going to have to climb....come on let's....go..." Emma says, fighting her pain back and climbing up the underside of the train car.

Nathan followed, but both in horrible pain from their injuries, and once they reached the train car hanging off the ledge they ran. The car was falling and so they ran and jumped very close to missing the ledge, but making it pulling themselves up.

They both groaned flopping on their backs, and Emma says, "Nate, don't...fall asleep...we.....can keep.....going....." she trails off, losing consciousness as Nathan thinks back to what led to their current situation.

Nathan's pov [???? ???? Earlier]
---------------------------------------------------------

I sat drinking at the bar minding my own business as someone walks up saying, "Buy me a drink stranger." Looking up I exclaim, "Harry Flynn? Hey, hey!" I give him a quick bro hug and say, "What the hell are you doing here?"

Flynn chuckles and says, "Looking for you, mate." I reply, "Oh, should I be flattered or worried." He says while taking my beer, "Maybe a bit of both. Come here." He says, "I've got a job for us." I question, "Really?" He says, "My client is willing to part with a huge sum of cash, if we acquire a certain object for him."

"I'm listenning.." I say as he opens a folder and says, "Now, you're not gonna like this..." he puts down a flyer for an exhibition that would be showing treasures from Marco Polo's travels. "No, you're out of your mind." I say as he says, "Hear me out--" I say, "We both know two people who were killed trying to lift something out of this place." He interrupts saying, "And one who made it out." I retort, "Barely."

"Can't do this without you Drake. You're the only person who's cracked it, and you know better than anyone that this is a two person job." He says and I say, "Three actually." Flynn says, "Yeah and speak of the devil, here she comes now."

Before I can say anything, Chloe shakes my hand saying, "Chloe, Chloe Frazer." I stutter out my introduction and she says to Harry, "Hello, Harry." He says to me, "Chloe is one of the best drivers in the business. She'll take good care of us." I say, "I bet."
