Holding Up

AMY

I feel my heart starting to race at a lightning-fast pace but at the same time, everything moves in slow motion. I need to get to the antidote as the Captain has been infected the longest. I can only hope that I am on time.

"Aaahhhh"

Then suddenly I hear another thump. It is the Captain that fell down again unconscious. My hands start to shake and I know that now is not the time for it. I need to move as fast as possible. I take out a syringe and start to draw from the antidote bottle.

I am trying to do the math In my head by guessing the weight of the Captain and how much antidote to get in the syringe. But my thoughts are interrupted by fear that he could be dead.

"Come on, Amy!!"

Finally, I have drawn enough antidote and I run back to his side. I put my fingers against his throat to feel a pulse and I very faint one. I quickly move his arm in position to inject him and then I make sure that all the antidote goes into his blood.
