???. | @traumamade ⸻ ‘ i won’t leave you behind. ’ (for sam)
Sam let’s out a guttural groan as the pain from the laceration on his abdomen and right leg radiate with burning pain. He’s trying to get up on his own, holding onto Leon’s shoulder when e begins to sway backward. They followed a lead and Sam got too over confidant; even with his hunting skills he couldn’t have been prepared for the monstrosities that waited for them inside the building. Infected he could handle, the Licker’s BARELY; they were still stuck inside but one hiding above them silently had caught Sam by surprise. Leon handled it effortlessly it almost seemed but Sam was injured. They were contacted about help and extraction being on the way but he could only move so fast, and they were three floors below roof access. He didn’t want Leon to DIE because he was careless and slow now. He tried to push the other man away and toward the staircase, gritting his teeth as he kept moving, ignoring the man’s words but feeling a heart tug all the same.
“Get going man, I’m right behind you but you NEED to go before me to flag them down. Or--or if there’s any Z’s ahead you’re gonna have to help clear them.” he huffs out a single laugh, gripping the stair railing with a bloodied hand. Hoping to convince Leon to get going. He’s trying his best, really, but he doesn’t want to risk anything.
