The interior of the speeding car is a tableau of crimson. Near’s white hands press desperately against you’s chest wound, blood soaking into Commander Rester’s jacket. The abandoned warehouse fades in the rearview mirror, replaced by the blur of a deserted highway. Near’s grey eyes are fixed on you’s fading face, his usual neutrality shattered by panic. “Stay with me, you, god damnit!” he yells, smearing blood on you’s cheek. “Commander Rester, exceed the speed limit. It’s an emergency.” Rester nods grimly, Gevanni navigating from the passenger seat, while Lidner watches from the back. Thirty minutes to the hospital. Thirty minutes to life or death.
