Have you rescued the man in time?

You hope so.

"Is he going to be alright," Brittney asked you.
You checked man the man's breathing and although it was shallow and haggard, but for the time being, he was alive.
"He's alive but I don't know how much smoke he breathed in. He most likely has some kind of smoke inhalation. Do you know if the hospitals are still working," you ask Brittney.
"Um, I don't know. We haven't been over that side of town since all this happened," she says.
"Well we're going to have to find out. We need to get this man checked out and your sister could do with some attention also."
"Your face needs to be looked at too. Your nose looks terrible." Brittney then reached up at brushed her finger tips against your nose. Even with the lightest of touches the pain flares up again causing bright white light to flash behind your eyelids. With the adrenaline surge you had from jumping into a burning building you had completely forgot the injury you suffered in the crash. You head swims with remembrance and you drop unsteadily to your knee. Seeing you wince in pain Brittney immediately tries to apologies for what she had done.
You wave her off saying, "It's ok. I'll be alright. I think we are going to need a new car. This ones a bit busted," you joke. The pair of you manage a small chuckle in the circumstance, even though it makes your face hurt even worse. You wait a minute for the spinning feeling to stop but it shows no sign of departing. "I think your going to have to drive. I'm not feeling the best at the moment," you tell Brittney.

The fire has now completely engulfed the house with flames shooting high into the sky. You drag the man away from the fire as it is getting pretty damn hot with the tree catching fire above you. Lying him down next to Erin, you sit down with them telling Bittney that you will guard them while she goes to look for another car. She is **** to do this after what happened last time she went looking for something but you are able to convince her by reassuring her that if she doesn't go that far you will still be able to see her. If anyone did want to attack her they would be in range of your handgun also and you had proved your aim was in once today already.

It takes Brittney a while but she manages to find a car that will start. You help her put her sister over her shoulders so she can carry her while you pick up the man. The car Brittney found is a standard four door imported sedan. She had to break into a house by smashing the front window and them found the keys in the kitchen. The car is parked in the garage and on the way through the house you check the pantries for food. The larder is well stocked so you may have to think about coming back here later.

A slight problem presents itself when you enter the carport and try to open the roller door. The motor that raises it is electric and since "Black Tuesday" there has been no power. You load the **** Erin and the man into the backseat of the sedan as you think of a way to get the car out. Its during this that Brittney suggests, "why don't we just ram it like you did the tree?"
The owners of the car and house most likely aren't alive anymore so what does it matter now. You give Brittney your approval and hope in the passengers side, seat belts on this time.

With a crash of twisting metal the roller shutter is ripped from its housing and you are on the open road headed for the hospital.

How does the trip go?
