Warning: Mention of blood, character under the influence of marijuana

Matt: Dad? I may be high as shit, but that doesn't make me any less concerned.

Sam: What's up?

Matt: There's a timer on Katie's phone.

Matt: It's been going for 15 minutes.

Sam: Timer?

Matt: There's a few from yesterday and today. I think she starts them when she starts coughing.

Sam: Is it still going?

Matt: ...yeah. It's still going.

Sam: Get some water. That should help.

Matt: Yeah no problem.

Matt: Hold on.

Matt: I think that's blood.

Sam: Blood?

Matt: Blood. On her fist.

Sam: Like, from her lungs?

Matt: Most likely, yes.

Matt: Do you still need me to get water?

Sam: No. Find the duffel bag from under her bed. Grab a pair of pajamas, a pair of socks, and her toothbrush.

Sam: I was hoping that we wouldn't have to make this trip. But, it looks like we have no choice.
