Not dying to pathetically

[ PRESENT TIME ]

"Ugh…" Luca grunted, grinding her teeth as her head throbbed painfully.

"Chief!" Lizz breathed a jagged breath, heaving a sigh of relief that Luca's showed a sign of life. "Thank God. Gosh. I thought you were dead."

"Ugh…" another grunt slipped past Luca's lips, pushing herself with great difficulty. 

Luca and Lizz were still stuck inside the vehicle. Lizz had been trying to wake Luca up for minutes, and thankfully, Luca woke up. Although their real dilemma would just start from there. 

"Chief, are you okay?" asked Lizz worriedly.

Luca didn't respond immediately, holding her head. It felt heavy while Lizz's voice sounded distant. When Lizz spoke once again, Luca shushed her with an erect finger on the side.
