Romeo ran from the woods as fast as his legs could carry him. He made it from the forest and found himself back in NW. A quick glance at his hoodie proved that he was covered in blood from the dead guy.
Hastily, Romeo pulled off his hoodie, then dropped his pants.
He'd never been in trouble with the cops before. He didn't know what they'd look for, but he did know that they'd look for someone of his description, and in a white hoodie, it wouldn't be hard to spot him.
The trousers had to go, mainly because of the incriminating blood all over them.
So there he now stood, looking for somewhere to get more clothes, almost right in the center of New Winchester.
The only good thing was the darkness that had enveloped the town...
It was 9:15 afterall.

As usual... Gabe was on his way home, slightly drunk, braking the law once more. His eyes were heavy, and the quiet music that seeped out from the radio made him nearly fall asleep at the wheel on several occasions. He'd decided to call it an early night for once, drowsily cruising through New winchester's center, heading for the outskirts and home. Knowing that soon he couldn't be able to control his exhaustion, he put his foot down, picking up more and more speed down the open road... if anything got in his way, he was sure not to avoid it.. a mixture of tiredness and alcohol made his reaction time unbearably high...

Romeo heard the car before he saw it, spinning around to see a car swerving towards him.
He stood there clutching his bits, screaming for dear-life, then the impact came; throwing him onto the bonnet, sliding painfully up the windscreen and then back onto the floor with a heavy thud.
Romeo lay on his back, struggling to keep awake. His entire body was numb, and slowly getting colder. He couldn't work out whether it was because he was naked or because he'd just been hit by a car, but either way, he couldn't stay here...

Even if Gabe had his eyes open to see the guy, he wouldn't have been able to stop... it was too dark, he came upon him too quickly... it was like he'd just appeared in the middle of the road. The huge thump and crack of his windscreen jolted him awake and he swerved his car to the side, the back end just managing to avoid running over the stranger. It seems the disaster wasn't over... the rusty car was out of control, and it was inevitable that it was going to collide with something... in fact it went half way through the front window of a nearby convienience store, setting off the alarm straight away. For a while, Gabe sat, dazed, cut by the broken glass of the shop window and his windscreen. Finally, with a groan, he managed to stumble out through the wreckage, almost having to drag himself into the road, towards the guy he had hit... head spinning in confusion "You...urgh... you ok down there?" he grumbled, holding his head and his ribs as he approached him tiredly...

Romeo heared something, a deep distant voice. It began getting clearer, and he could hear scuffling...
He became aware of his nudity and somehow, unbeknownst to even him, he managed to lift his arm and rested it on his bits once again.
The voice came again; "Are you...alright?!"
Romeo groaned then opened his eyes. His legs were coming back to life, but he wished they wouldn't - the pain was horrendous, all down the left of his thigh.
"I'm ok..." He managed to say, and lifted his head a bit to look down his body. There was blood on the floor around him, not enormous amounts, but enough for a serious injury. He couldn't see the wound though...

Gabe paused for a few seconds, bending slightly in pain, seems the impact didn't do his ribs anygood. The sound of the victims voice reassured him slightly... at least he hadn't killed him yet... but this time he was seriously knee-deep in the shit.... The sheriff had given him too many chances, and he had just broken his last. "Hold tight there, kid..." he groaned as heslowly and painfully removed his jacket, chucking it atop the stranger. He knew the shop alarm would get the cops on the scene at some point, but he needed to make sure they were coming asap. Taking out his phone, he flipped it open and dialled the familiar number of Sheriff Dayes, explaining briefly what had happened, telling him it was extremely urgent... most of his words were overpowered by swearing...

Romeo lifted his hand to his head and let it drop on his forhead. Damn was he in bad luck, getting hit by a car just after being chased by the cops for killing a guy...
Looked like he was going down for a few years...
The first of the Sirens started to come through the air, getting closer along with the sounds of the speeding engines.
"Ughh..." Romeo tried to get up, his muscles were still working as he lifted himself to his elbows and looked down his body again, from this new height.
No wonder his leg was in pain - It was broken, the bone coming through his skin was a big sign, combined with the horrific angle of his foot. He couldn't see from his upper thigh up, due to the man's jacket, but Romeo didn't feel any other pain regardless.
The man had slumped onto his knees and seemed to sway slightly, as the first of the cars arrived.

Nate almost kicked open the door.
He was pissed as hell, mainly at the day's events, but partly with Gabe. He wasn't too angry with him, but he was disapointed. As if he hadn't given enough warnings.
The Sheriff marched upto the two, called over a paramedic then brutally pulled Gabe to his feet.
He could already smell the drink. Nate hoped that this accident wouldn't be alcohol fueled, just an accident - though the phone call should have told him otherwise.
"What the hell you done and gone now?" He said harshly, dragging the drunk to his police car, then slammed him against it to try and beat some sence into him, as the medics approched the victim, who oddly, Nate recognised from earlier...

There wasn't much Gabe could do...he was half unconciess and drunk as a skunk. The pain soon jolted him awake... the pain as he was pretty much dragged to the police car and then slammed up against it. It felt as though a rib had shattered into pieces inside him and he held an arm against it, spluttering and groaning in pain. He would have fallen to the floor if the Sheriff didn't have him snapped firmly against the car he had been in contact with too many times already... "I...it was...i didn't mean...." he couldn't even form a proper sentence... he was truly in the shit...

Nate wanted to beat the living hell out of this kid. All of the warnings were there, now he could have killed someone, ruined a business and was about to be sent to prison.
He noticed the pain Gabe just suffered, must have been intense concidering his drunk state.
"You need to see a medic?" He asked, trying to hold back concern - he needed to be firm now.

Gabe tried his hardest to push the Sheriff away, but didn't have much luck... he was in no state to overpower even the aging sheriff. "urgh... just let me go... i'll, i'll sleep it off..." he mumbled, his words hardly heared over the noise of the sirens and the many paramedics that had turned up at the scene... he knew himself that he wasn't going to get away from this one... just as things were looking up for him, his dreams were smashed to pieces "...shit...shit! Fuck! ". He shouted out of pure anger... but it just made the pain worse, there was no way sleeping would solve this one "You... you gotta' help me, Sheriff... please...I - I'm begging you, It can't end, not like this.... I can't go to prison...". He knew his words would mean nothing... his fate was sealed...

Nate swallowed. Hard. He wanted to help. Hell, he'd probably end up helping, but he knew there'd be little outcome.
Right now, however, he needed to get some medical help here right now.
Dayes looked over to where the victim was being carried away on a stretcher.
"Hey, can we get a medic over here please?" He called. The Sheriff decided against restraining this criminal with cuffs. He already had enough restraints on his life...

Gabe stayed silent from then on... just answering the few questions the paramedics usually ask. After that, it just seemed a series of blurred figured, flashing lights and echoing voices... his body hit the floor, unconciess and still. The medics proceeded to load him up into an ambulance... above the rest, both involved in the incident needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible...
And that is where Gabe woke up....
