"How's it going back there, Ellie?" Joel asked as he drove through the woods that surrounded Jackson. Ellie put a hand on (Y/N)'s forehead, wincing at the heat that came off of it, "Her fever's getting worse," Ellie pulled up (Y/N)'s shirt, looking at the dirty, blood soaked, bandages that they had put on her stomach, "It looks like it's still bleeding but not as bad as it was before."
Joel sighed and pressed down on the gas harder to get through the piles of snow that layed all around them as they drove. Ellie pulled (Y/N)'s shirt back down, wrapping her back up in a spare blanket, that (Y/N) had, had in her bag, as (Y/N) shivered, "Don't worry (Y/N), we're almost there. Just hang on a little while longer, okay?" She spoke as Joel finally pulled up to Jackson's gate.
Joel rolled the window down and stuck his head out the window, looking up at Maria, who stood at the top of the large gate. She gasped, "Let them in!" She ordered, sprinting down with Tommy as Joel waited until the doors were open before driving into Jackson. Joel and Ellie quickly jumped out of the vehicle as Tommy and Maria raced over to them, "Jesus Christ, what the hell happened? That was supposed to be a one and a half day mission tops!" Tommy yelled as Ellie dragged Maria over to the truck, showing (Y/N) to her, explaining what happened.
"Uh, Tommy we've got more pressing matters!" Maria called out, gaining the country man's attention. Tommy looked over, "What is it?" He asked, walking over with Joel, his eyes widening as he saw (Y/N)'s unconscious body in the back seat, "Who the hell is that? What the hell's she doin' here?" He questioned with a raised brow as Maria called someone over, "Tell Amy to prep for surgery! Sniper shot to the abdomen, no exit wound."
"Listen, I don't like the idea either but - !" Joel started to say before he was cut off by Ellie, "She saved my life, so we're gonna save hers! Joel, we gotta take her to Amy, she'll know what to do!" Joel nodded and walked over to the truck, picking up (Y/N) carefully as Ellie grabbed all of (Y/N)'s stuff, holding her guitar as if it was the most precious thing in the world.
"You've got some explaining to do, Joel!" Tommy exclaimed as the group of five raced to the makeshift hospital that they had built. Maria held open the door as they went inside, seeing that Amy was waiting for them, "Jesus Christ. When did this happen?" She asked frantically, placing a hand on (Y/N)'s forehead for a split second. Ellie chipped in as they walked down the hall, entering the prep room, "More than half a day. We drove from Calgary." She finished before walking over to the wall, leaning (Y/N)'s back pack, guitar, and rifle against it.
