âHe radios jane while trying to wake the dude up. Doesnt work so he drags him to his car, and shoves him in. He leaves the sword and starts the car to drive away.â

He turns his car around as quick as he can and steps on the gas, heading back toward the ranger station.
About 30 minutes later, Robert manages to make his way through the strange, thick fog and back to the ranger station, where Jane was standing outside with her first aid supplies. The mysterious man had regained consciousness, just enough to get him to the picnic table Jane had set up to do some more intense medical care. She looks at Robert and says, "you gotta keep him awake, he's lost a lotta blood and i'm not sure he's going to make it."
Robert leans over the man's face and pats him firmly on the cheek.
"Hey, man, look at me."
The man looks, lethargically, in Robert's direction.
"What's your name?" Rob asks, a bit frantically.
"It... its b-Beau." The man weakly responds. "Beau Baxter."
Jane then looks at Robert and quietly says, "you're gonna want to try and distract him for this one."
She then takes a pair of pliers that she had cleaned off and reaches into the man's wound as he grits his teeth and groans. She manages to get a grip on something, then pulls it out. Beau immediately loses consciousness again. The wound starts bleeding more, and she puts pressure on the wound with gauze, and eventually, it stops bleeding enough for her to stitch up the wound.
"And you thought you'd never use your army medic knowledge out here."
"Hey!" She says, wrapping the man's wound in better bandages. "I was a MARINE, thank you very much."
"Whatever, Jane," Rob scoffs. "Is he going to be okay?"
"Yeah, he should be fine." She looks over her work on his shoulder. She looks up, behind Robert, alerted. "What's that noise?"
It's the sound of metal slowly scraping on dirt, rock, and foliage, coming straight towards the ranger station, followed by a thick, cool fog.
What does he do?
