Cold Winter

I woke up a coughed for a minute. I caught a cold, so everyone has been very concerned. People die a lot from a common cold.

"Hey" Adam walked into the tent.

Adam started feeling better the next day, it's been two days since the robbery.

"Hi" I whispered.

"You feeling alright?" Adam sat down in bed with me.

I nodded, "I guess".

"How's that leg?".

"Hurts".

Adam pulled the blanket off of my leg and took a look, "It looks about the same. Hopefully we can get you to a doctor once we get out of here".

I smiled.

Adam put his hand on my forehead, then he looked concerned.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing, you just got so many blankets on you," Adam laughed a little, "You got yourself super warm".

"Can you bring Winston in?" I asked.

"Why don't I just bring you to him?" Adam suggested.

I shrugged, "Sure".

Adam picked me up and brought me outside. He would occasionally pretend to drop me, and it made me laugh every time.

"Careful with her" Phil glared from the fire.

"Come on, I'm just joking around Phil".

"Well one day you're gonna drop her and you're gonna give her a world of pain!" He yelled.

"Phil calm down" I coughed.

"And she's sick! God you people" Phil got up and stormed off.

Adam gently put me on a chair, "Whats gotten into him?".

"He's stressed," Winston took a second, "I don't think I have ever seen him this stressed".

"Well that's never good news" Winston lit a smoke.

"No, it isn't".

I sighed.

"How's that leg?" Winston asked.

"You're being more talkative than usual".

"I have to step up of Phil is gonna lose it".

Adam looked confused, "What?".

"I can tell Phil is gonna lose it" Winston looked at Adam.

"Because of one job" I asked.

"Because he can't do a job without something going wrong, law on our tail, everything leading up to this. Almost losing everyone was a big hit to him".

I didn't answer.

"What's gonna happen?" Adam asked Winston.

"I think today we're gonna move out, storm or not. We have to find Amira a doctor. She's getting sicker".

"That sounds like a good idea" I spoke.

"What do you mean she's getting sicker Winston?" Adam looked concerned.

"Did you not notice the fever? And that's not from the leg that's gonna get infected if it's not treated".

Adam started to look angry.

"Adam?" I looked at him.

Adam's grip got tighter.

Winston looked confused.
