iv; black fucking blood.

smoking was a horrible habit. dani knew that, she obviously knew smoking could kill. however, she just couldn't get herself to stop. the chemicals warmed her chest and for a moment it helped her forget about whatever currently went on in her life.
she leaned her head against the back door of the ambulance.
her hands itched to light a cigarette and smoke until her lungs gave way and she quietly and agonizingly perished of asphyxiation.
she glanced up to her friends who all stood quiet, patiently waiting until sam and deena came out from reporting the murders at the police station.

"we should not be this close to the police station in a stolen ambulance!" simon said, his eyes glancing up to the ambulance. he had wanted to park the stolen vehicle far from the police station, however his demands were brushed off as kate parked directly behind the police station.
dani shrugged "they're dumb as rocks, they won't notice." she muttered, kicking a pebble around between her feet. she chuckled softly at the thought of the pebble being a representation of the cops brains.
kate turned around to him "we're hiding in plain sight." she whispered.

"yeah, just like bundy." josh commented, leaning against the door opposite from dani.
dani turned her head to the younger boy as did kate and simon. josh looked over, noticing the stares from the older teens "ted bundy, when he was stalking his victims, i mean." he explained further, rubbing his hands together in front of him.

kate cocked her head to the side in confusion "didn't he get caught though?" she asked, wondering as to why the boy mentioned the serial killer in the first place as he was ultimately caught and charged for the murders.
"well no." josh shook his head before thinking on it "well, yeah, but—" he retracted his back statement with a stutter.
simon let out a sigh leaning forward to gesture between the three "figure this out. i'm gonna take a leak." he told the others turning on his heel and walking down toward the street.

dani raised her brows at the boys retreating figure "you sure?" she called out, hoping he wasn't dumb enough to walk on his own "there's literally a murderer on the loose!" she told him, only to be dismissed by a wave of his hand.
simon looked over his shoulder at the girl "i promise you, i'll be fine!" he told her as he continued to walk away and out onto the street.
dani let out a sigh "moron." she muttered, sucking her teeth before she turned to look back at josh and kate "bundy was only caught because he was driving without his lights on and wouldn't stop for the cops." she allowed herself to put on a smile, jumping off the floor of the ambulance "now i'm gonna go over there and smoke! i won't be far." she pointed toward a wall, a bit aways from the two.

before the two could utter protest, dani was already walking away. she needed the small break and didn't wanna take one in front of them and have any chances of their lungs being ruined as a cause of her not knowing to walk away.
she leaned against the wall, taking a cigarette and her lighter out from her pocket. she hit the spinning wheel and held down the lever—watching only for a moment as the fire sprang to life, flickering widly with the breeze.
dani paused for split second to watch the fire before she lit her cigarette, letting go of the lever and placing it back in her pocket.
