XXX - Faster. . .Faster

"Hey pothead, you wanna drive a little faster, there?" Justin murmured, watching the scene in the back of the van as Jonathan screamed at the kids to apply more pressure. "We've kinda got a situation, 'ere." Her voice was soft, slow almost. 

"Argyle! You gotta get us to Saint Mary's!" Jonathan ordered.

"I don't think praying's gonna help that dude, man!"

"No, you idiot! Saint Mary's Hospital!" 

"No, no." The agent gurgled out, his voice muffled by his own spit and blood.

"What?"

"No hospital."

"No, no- We're gonna get you to the hospital!"

"You- You need to warn O-" He gagged, "Owens."

"O- Owens, okay." Jonathan nodded. 

"The girl. . S- She's in danger. . ." 

"Okay, how- how do we find Owens?"

"Nina. Nina. . ."

"Nina. Who's Nina?" Mike interjected. 

"Come on, a pen-" Will stuttered, looking around. 

"Oh, boy. . ." Justin huffed out, laying her head back on her seat and coughing. She looked down at her side. "Well. . .that's just great." The blonde muttered, scowling at the red that was starting to stain her graphic tee.

"Oh shit." Argyle muttered, looking in the rear-view to try and see what was going on. "Hey, y- yo- yo- yo- yo- yo- yo- Wait- wait- wait- wait- Why is it so quiet back there, huh?" He turned in his seat, just for a second. "Yo, is he dead? Jesus, man! Huh? Talk to me! Shit!" 

"We should get off the road." Jonathan seethed, his eyes stuck behind the car at the sound of screeching tires.

"Argyle. Ar- Argyle, get off the road, now!" Will stuttered out, his voice heavy and worried. 

"Shit, he's dead! Isn't he?"

"This is bad!" 

"What are you doing?"

"This is real bad!" 

"Get off the road!" A chorus of voices yelled back. Argyle swerved off the road and Justin let her eyes flutter shut. Her head hurt. . .she just needed a nap.
