@detpowell || starter call / plotted
the pair of them are slowly making their way to the parking lot , dani’s arm draped over malcolm’s shoulder and his arm around her waist to fully support her movement . in a few short moments , the profiler had EVERYTHING under control and in a span of seconds it had all crumbled around them . using dani as a ploy was a bad idea from the get go and he had urged gil to change his mind . impored him until his hand was trembling because the profile would have put her in too much danger !! and he was right .
now they are here and she’s losing blood very quickly . TOO QUICK . at the rate of loss versus the time they have for paramedics arrive ?? there won’t be enough time to keep her from going critical and once that happens every second will count . every second already COUNTS and he’s beginning to panic . come on , bright . get it together !!
eyes scan the area of the parking lot and spot dani’s car . they grow wide with even more anxiety at the thoughts surging through his practical mind . the logical side saying he can get her to the hospital faster than the paramedics can arrive . there’s only one choice and before his mind can comprehend the severity of him not knowing how to drive , malcolm is digging his hands into her coat pockets for a set of car keys . ❝ hold on , dani . we’re going to find some help . just stay with me okay ?? ❞
