From the Smoke | 6/10 Midnight
It had been a long ass night.
Archer had carried that unconscious blond sub out and run back into the building before anyone could stop him. He and Eli had gone out through a window after that, and then he’d seen Annie in the Switch building and had pulled her out through her window. After making sure she’d gotten far enough away from the burning buildings, he turned to go back inside, but a guard stood in his path. “Come on!” he shouted, pushing at the guy’s shoulder, trying to get past him to go back and try to help someone else. He had to know that there was no one else in there. “Fuck you!” he shouted at the guard, but the scream turned into a hacking cough, and he doubled over, his lungs betraying him. He turned away from the guard and stumbled off into the crowd of students, his t-shirt missing somewhere. All he had now were a pair of shorts and Carl, clutched tight in one hand. As soon as he could breathe again, he’d see if there were anything else he could do to help, but right now, he couldn’t stop coughing.
