The road seemed to roll on forever as Bolavara sped back to the shuttle, knowing that Larrisa was in desperate need of medical attention, and while he was worried about her well being, he knew full well that if anything happens to her, Hades wasn't going to stop to listen to reason. For now, he seemed preoccupied cleaning up Larrisa's face, and he couldn't imagine how Hades was feeling inside, but if he had to guess, it was a mix of love for her, fear of losing her, and murderous intent for the SOB that did that to her all at once, which was bad news for whoever caught his attention in a bad way. Bolavara had only been with him for a short time, but he had heard rumors and stories about the man know as Hades, and he did not disappoint one bit. From the moment Hades had addressed them that day on New Earth, Bolavara couldn't help but stair, not because of any romantic feelings but at how young he is and yet he carried himself with an air of authority about him that made it so you couldn't help but shut up and pay attention when he was giving orders. Not only that, but it was clear that despite his reputation for being the living embodiment death he actually cared about his men, though he knew full well that he was in love with Larrisa, made even more clear by how he was holding her in his arms as he cleaned her face with extreme caution and tenderness.
"Bolavara, bud, not to seem rude but can this thing go any faster? I got the bleeding to stop, but without being cleaned out and bandaged the cuts will get infected", Hades said, his voice heavy with remorse but clear and calm.
"Unfortunately not. I'm doing one-twenty-five and thats where it tops out. I'll try to get us back before night fall, but I make no promises", Bolavara replied, and he couldn't help but feel he was responding for what happened, that if he had just been more careful on that jump, then they wouldn't be out here right now with one man down, infected on their trail, and now a traffic jam. Up ahead was a check point for evacuees, and due to human stupidity, the road ahead was packed to the brim with vehicles of every kind, but he saw one that he knew would be beneficial. It was an RV, and while it wasn't super fast, it could transport all of them and their supplies, plus he figured that Larrisa would feel a little better laying on a mattress versus the hard, shaky floor of the van. After running the plan by the others, they agreed that it would be their best option, and they were pleasantly surprised to find that it was solar powered, which ment that it would always be functional as long as they maintained it. Once the switch was complete they continued on their way, and as they did Bolavara could have sworn he saw a black dot sailing across the, but he figured it was a bird of some kind.

Hades was sitting at the table, a cigarette gently smoking as he took a long, slow drag off of it as his mind raced with thoughts of what to do next, but all he could do is let Larrisa rest and hope like he'll she didn't suffer any brain damage from the beating. She had woken up only momentarily...
