The sidewalk and dirt lifted up like the roots of a tree and wedged the door shut. Jay looked at Nox, but his only comment was a morbid joke, "hope that's not the only fire escape."
Speaking of, he took stock of their location. It seaemed to be the back of the auditorium. Massive air conditioning units were stacked to one side. Long trailer beds made rows along the exterior wall, likely for unloading the many trucks of equipment. Methos' band probably traveled with at least 20 tractor trailers. But more important, the electricity was on out here. Whatever happened to the stage meant it was contained inside. Jay half figured it was some massive electrical glitch, but short of a lightning strike, had no idea why it would have happened.
The river coursed nearby, a black empty space. But before they took off, he set the girl down and checked her over. Made sure she was still alive and rousable. Which she was. The moment he tried to let her go, her hands clutched at his neck again. A few moments later, he was satisfied, and heaved her up once more. She wasn't heavy, but all arms and legs, she was awkward. Not to mention the care he took to not add pain to her wounds.
"While you have that out, pull up a map and find the closest route. We'll get her to help, you hide, I'll get her on her way, and we can meet up after that."
He trusted Nox to lead them to help, but just in case, he kept track of their directions anyway.

Only darkness shows you the light.
