I hated the fact that Kc was right about me leading us in a circle, but I partly blamed my head injury and the other half of being a city slicker...and I didn't have any frigging idea what in the hell I was doing. But I really despised her smart ass ways, thinking she was so much better than me, even though so far she's proved that she was smarter than me in many ways already, not to mention the fact that she did save me from the plane before it exploded with me in it. And like I said to myself before the plane crashed, she was very strangely attractive...even though she let me know that I was too old for much good.

The sun was almost completely down, and getting extremely cold, Kc was beginning to shiver uncontrollably but kept walking anyway...yep I definitely admired her spirit and tenacity...but I also noticed her limping pretty badly on her left leg. I moved up beside her and told her we needed to get to a place to make camp and maybe start a fire for warmth, then I told her I needed to check out her leg because she's been favoring it for quite a long time. Kc stopped and looked around until she found a good sized rock to use as a windbreak then pulled her duffle bag off and pulled out two blankets and one long pillow. Then she sat down without offering me to sit or if I was welcome to share the blanket, so I grabbed some dead mesquite and began to make a kindling for a fire when she laughed and asked me what in the hell was I going to use to start the fire with.

I gave her my famous stare and snapped my fingers together and created enough friction to create a flame then I lit the mesquite and relaxed and warmed myself by the fire. I looked over at her and told her she could come share my fire if she wanted too. Kc hopped up and hobbled over and sat down next to me and shared her blanket with me then she pulled her bag around and handed me a honey bun, then grabbed one for herself...then brought out a bottle of water but said we had to share it, because her sources were very limited, and there was no way of knowing how long we were going to be stuck in this desert. I looked in her little bag and asked her why she didn't tell me she had that. Kc looked over at me and said because at first, she wasn't sure if she wanted to share it or not. I looked back and asked her if she would really let me starve and die of thirst before sharing anything with me. But when I noticed the expression on her face I knew she was just giving me shit. Then she said that she was going to try and ration it so we could save it as long as possible because once it was gone we both would be S.O.L.

I looked at her and said S.O.L? Kc giggled at me and said it meant shit out of luck. I reached over to her leg and she jumped away from me, I looked down and told her I wouldn't hurt her, I just wanted to see how bad her leg was. Kc set her leg on my lap so I could see it, I slowly moved her pant leg up and took a look at the wound...I looked right at her and said it needed stitches because it was very bad, and the coloration was scaring me a little bit, but I didn't say anything just yet. I asked her for some of the water to clean it out with...she hesitated and said we needed it for drinking. I told her that drinking water wouldn't do her any good if her wound got infected because she would die of blood poisoning. I grabbed the water and poured it on the wound then went into my pocket and pulled out some string and a needle.

Kc looked at me and said what in the hell was I doing with needles and thread in my pocket. I gave her a tiny smile and said it I use it for some of my magic tricks, she looked up at me and said what kind of magic could I do with a piece of string. I chuckled and told her if I had any string left I would show her. As I was stitching her leg I couldn't help but have other feelings as I was working on her calf and slowly moving up to her thigh...she had damn good looking legs. Kc must have noticed my cheesy grin and told me next time I had a thought I had better let it go. I chuckled but apologized at the same time. 

After I finished I took my white undershirt off and wrapped her leg with it, then put my over shirt back on, and told her she was all fixed up. She quickly took her leg back and thanked me at the same time, then she went back to the bed she made and checked it first, then laid down on the pillow and said she was very tired and wanted to try to get some sleep, I wasn't sure so I stayed by the fire and just stared into the flames for a while, then she turned her head and asked me if I was coming to bed or not, that the longer the night came the colder it was going to get, and we would stay warmer together. I moved over to her and crawled under the blanket with her and shared the pillow with her...She told me not to get any kinky ideas or I was sleeping by the fire alone. I snickered and promised her I would try to keep my pride tucked...but asked her anyway if I could put my arm around her. She never answered, and I tried anyway, but she didn't slap me off, so I kept it there as we both fell into a deep but restless sleep.
