What am I supposed to do now with this unconscious human?

Why is Kieran not picking up? Ahhh....I looked around, but still no one was here except for me, an unconscious human, air, and his car!

Right, I can drive. I can drive to my cafe and then contact his known ones.

OKAY GRACE! CALM DOWN!

I opened the back door of the car and walked towards him, and unwantedly, I slid my arms beneath his shoulders, lifting him with a sense of urgency. The weight of his body pressed against me, a reminder of the responsibility I now carried. Despite the strain, I focused on the task at hand, my determination driving me forward, or, we can say, the urgency to get out of here. As I carried him to the car, each step felt heavy with the weight of uncertainty. I focused on keeping him stable, making my movements careful and deliberate. With a sense of relief, I settled him onto the back seat, ensuring he was as comfortable as possible. Closing the car door gently, I took a moment to catch my breath, the gravity of the situation sinking in.

I knew how to drive, so it's just a matter of minutes for me now!

He was still unconscious, but I could not wait for him to wake up to clean his wound, so I grabbed the first-aid kit and began treating him while Marco and Maria stood beside me, wondering what had happened.

Why...just explain why I brought him with me here?

I can not tell them because of him, but....here comes the phone!

"Did she come back? I heard Cat on the other end of the line and realized she had called here after I had not returned her calls.

"Yes, madam, I am back in one piece, with one unconscious defective piece!"

"What in the world happened to your phone?" And what is this unconsciously defective component?"

"Okay, you know what happened..." I was about to say something, but she interrupted me and said something useless.

"No, I freaking do not know, which is why I am asking you bitch," she yelled at me.

"I was simply building up."

"Stop building up this is not your fictional story book....It is real life, crazy girl."

"Alright, listen, so..." I explained everything in detail to her, but in hushed tones so as not to scare Maria and Marco.

"What in the universe were you thinking when you ended up there?" I can feel her frustration, and she was not wrong; however, I can not remember what was going through my mind as I walked down that lane.

"Do not make me start; instead, stay calm, stay at home, and do not bother coming here....I will make a quick call from his phone and make him leave."

"Okay, but take care and call me once he is gone."

"Yes, bye." I hung up before she could respond, and I noticed Marco packing the aid box after cleaning and bandaging his bruise.

And his phone rang! Finally, someone called for him; otherwise, I assumed no one remembered him or loved him.

AHHHHHH.....RECEIVED!

"You fucking asshole...are you insane? I warned you not to sneak out, but you did. Why was your phone unreachable, and where in the universe are you? You have no idea how much your brother has been suppressing his rage. Lance, will you respond to me or...?"
