The Load Up.

(A/N: AHHHHH D:)

Terry slid the key into the door, unlocking the little flap in the door for packages. It clunked softly as he turned it as gently as she could, slipping in a grey fabric. It contained a key. The inmate took it, and looked inside. 
Plumb slid the talking panel to the side and whispered, "You have half an hour till gallery check. Shut the door when your done. Get rid of the key."
And, after clicking both flaps shut, pushed a key into the door and slowly slid it open, ever so slightly. She then scurried off. The inmate slowly reached his hand around the metal door, and pushed it silently open. His shaggy, greasy hair and long, greying bear acting as a cloak for his identity.

John B was in his cell and had just finished up writing his story of the Pogues adventure. He sat up lightly from his bed and wandered over to the sink. He stood and stared into the foggy, distorted, plastic mirror. His eyes flickered down to the block of soap and the metallic cold tap. 
"Nothing to lose..." He whispered. Reaching for the soap, and dragging it up his arm.

Y/N pulled JJ's cap front-facing, hiding his eyes as they slowly pulled up to the entrance gate of the detention centre. The cop parked up beside them. A guard walked briskly up to them and shone his torch in the ambulance. Y/N looked out the window to her right, and JJ lent on his cap, cupping the bill in his hand. 
"It's straight ahead to the cargo bay." The guard pointed ahead into the parking lot.
"Copy that. Thank you, sir." He saluted him a goodbye, driving on.
The alert buzzed as the front gate was allowed to open.
"Here we go." Y/N breathed.

JJ used his wing mirror to pull into the cargo-bay, slowly reversing and turning off the engine. 
The head nurse walked over, looking at JJ with suspicion.
"All right, load 'em up!" JJ hit the side of the truck.
Y/N reached over and hit some buttons, trying to look like she knew what she was doing.
"Babe the engines off." JJ whispered to her. She raised her eyebrows and sat down. 
The nurse raised her eyebrow, "You gunna get your patient here?"
JJ looked at her for a moment, "Yeah, right on!"
"Yeah we're gunna get 'em." Y/N threw her door open and leapt out.
"Well come on then." She beckoned them.
"Are we gunna get our patient." JJ said, trying to give off the impression he knew what he was doing, and that the nurses question was a silly one.
"Yes.. The patient. Of course we are." Y/N reached JJ's door and he jumped out too. Y/N reached through the open window to grab the keys off of the seat.
"Where's Ricky?" The nurse asked them.
"Ricky? Uh-" JJ gulped.
"Food poisoning." Nodded Y/N.
JJ nodded too, "Yeah you know, uh, Ming Dynasty off of highway 25? Them egg rolls dude."
"They'll get ya. They'll get ya good." Y/n made a solemn face, swinging the keys around her finger, "So uh, where's the patient at?"
"Patient fell out. No LOC, but he's orthostatic. Stage 4 lymphoma. He's been in and out of chemo for the last three months." The nurse told them.
Y/N and JJ shared a look, that didn't sound like the plan.. maybe John B improvised?
A man wheeled one of the inmates out in a wheelchair. It wasn't John B.
JJ bent down to look at his face- did the pale skin make him look unfamiliar? No... It was John B if you squinted I suppose.
Y/N threw her arms up and onto her head, turning around. 
JJ's jaw clenched, "Is uh, is that the only patient here tonight ma'am?" He asked the nurse.
She chuckled, "Why? You wanna take more than one tonight?"
"I mean, I would if I have to. That's what I'm trying to say. Uhh.." JJ lent forwards looking through the glass exit doors, taking his hat off.
Y/N looked from fumbling JJ to the suspicious nurse. "We were just thinking we were called in because our patient got uh, appendicitis." She looked through the door with JJ, trying not to seem suspicious. The nurses behind them, waiting to load up the patient.
The head nurse cocked her head and looked at them in confusion.
"No?" JJ bit his lip, "Okay."
"This is our only patient." The nurse crossed her hands, holding a clip board. 
"Right." JJ nodded.
"Where did you say you worked?" She narrowed her eyes.
JJ slid his hat on backwards, he span around and smiled, "Dare county. Ma'am."
"I worked over there. Never seen either of you." 
"Well that's cause, you know, moved up the ranks so fast." He wandered closer to the nurse.
"And you?" She nodded at Y/N.
"New intern ma'am. Or uh, apprentice. Here to observe, mostly.... Look I would love to sit and chat but we gotta get moving." Y/N threw the keys to JJ.
"Yeah we got a man so save here people! Got to get our patient to the hospital." He went to unlock the doors.
"JJ..." The inmate croaked. "Is that you?"
Y/N crouched down in front of the inmate, looking into his eyes and stretching his eyelids with her fingers (She had no clue what to do), "He's delusional as shit."
The nurse and the man pushing the wheelchair exchanged looks of confusion.
JJ fumbled with the key, scraping it on the key frame.
Y/N reached forwards and grabbed the keys, unlocking it deftly herself. 
"We just, got different rigs back home." JJ rubbed the back of his head.
The doors clicked open and the inside lights flickered on.
A nearby phone started to ring, an emergency was happening- but the four of them ignored it to load up the inmate.
"All right, let's get him on up here." Y/N grunted. Her and the nurse lifted the man up into the ambulance while JJ helped him onto the bed.
The phone was still ringing. The clock above read 11:00.
"So, if she's just for observation.." The nurse pointed at Y/N, "Who's gunna look after your patient while your driving?"
"I can drive." Y/N piped up.
The nurse narrowed her eyes, "No. You cannot."
JJ paused, not even moving. "...Well. They told me that the officer could drive."
"No. He's an inmate. I've got to be in the back." The man pushed the wheelchair aside and climbed in.
"Hold on officer, you're saying that you're gonna be responsible for him not taking care of his patient and me not getting my education." Y/N pointed at JJ.
No one spoke...
"Look at him." JJ signalled his hand at the inmate. "He's weak, feeble. And pale and shit. I gotta do medical stuff on him or we're gunna lose him." He climbed into the back, and the officer slowly climbed out, guided by Y/N.
"You don't want that on your hands sir." She jumped up after JJ, tossing the keys to the man.
The officer looked to the nurse, "This didn't happen."
JJ dragged the door shut and the officer started up the engine. The phone was still ringing.

The nurse picked up the phone, "Loading bay." Then she looked to the ambulance and said, "No. They're actually driving out of here right now..."
