In the coming of the night, Eric and May escapes the smog at last and puts her down on the grass. He also lays down and takes a breather.
"Why are we stopping?" she asked.
"I have to take a break," he answered.
May looks to him as she's shivering.
"It's cold," she said.
"Oh," he replied.
Eric stands and goes to find some things.
"I'm just gonna find some blankets and supplies," he said.
"Ok," she replied to him.
May tries to lift her foot but is unable to do so as she's still in pain. She settles to the ground and looks around and sees nothing but trees. She looks up to the stars and sees its beauty.
Eric comes back with two backpacks and a big towel.
"It's not a blanket but- ", he said.
"That's fine," she overlapped.
He covers her with the towel, he opens the bag and takes out biscuits. He gives them to her.
"Here eat," he said.
"Thanks," she replied.
"Let me see your foot," he said.
"Ok," she said.
He goes to her left feet and takes out a grip tape and scissors. He takes the scissors and cuts her jogging pants open. He sees bruises on both legs as he taps her joint and she's in agony.
"Ouch!" she shouted.
"Good that means you're not a cripple yet," he said.
She pinches his side and he almost shouts in pain but holds it in silently. She lets go and he gets relief and stands.
"Okay I deserved that… I'm gonna look for a branch or bars, whichever comes first," he said to her.
He walks into the smog and sees a dead guard with a gun. He takes it and puts it behind him.
Eric comes back, with four steel square bars and kneels to May as he ties the bars to both of her legs using the grip tape.
"There you'll be walking in no time," he said and stared at her white legs.
"What do you think you're looking at?" she asked.
"Nothing, nothing," he answered as he sees her holding out a gun to him.
Eric raises his hands.
"Woah! Woah! Be careful with that," he shouted as he reaches behind and the gun is not there.
"I am going to hold on to this for security," she said.
She puts down the gun and sits it with her beneath the towel.
"Okay well, I'll just be here and this is your bag, you can use it as a pillow," he said and raises her head and puts the bag behind her head.
He steps back and puts his bag to the ground. He sleeps just parallel to her, now he feels cold. She looks at him and sees him restless.
"Alright Eric," she said as she opens the towel beside her.
"Thank you," he said.
He goes to her and gets under the towel with her. He tries to hug her but she pulls the gun to his side again as he feels the metal on his dick. He's sweating…
"Don't get any ideas," she said.
He nods to her and she pulls the gun away. He retreats back.
"Ok, you can hug me, but only hug okay?" she asked.
"Yes," he answered.
He gets back at her side and hugs her as he closes his eyes and smile.
"Goodnight," he said.
She smiles and also closes her eyes. They both go to sleep under the night sky.
