You continue attempts to resuscitate James.
Finally, James vomits a bunch of water, and you feel faint breaths. He's back, but completely unconscious.
"Okay... okay, whew, he's alive."
>"Okay, cool man, but we gotta get him out of here. He's a fucking mess. If he comes back and tells everyone I tried to fucking kill him, I'm going to prison for sure. I'm not going, man!"
You agree, of course. If James was to wake up here, it would not only reveal that you had tried to murder him, but also that you have falsely tried to pin it onto Harry. You're up to your neck in shit. But it's metaphorical shit now, so at least you sort-of have that going for you.
"Ok, I have a plan. How about- we'll take him out of here, take him somewhere safe, and think about what we're going to do with him? We'll just pretend, you know, he's sick or something..."
>"Well, okay. I don't see a better option right now, man."
You and Harry support James and carry him through the office. You get stares, but nervously try to smile them away. Remy passes you again:
>"Oh, hey guys... what happened to James? Is he okay? He asked to see me earlier, I was just on my way to visit him, actually..."
You swallow hard.
"Uhm... well, he's not feeling well. He forgot to take his uh, medicine... apparently? Um. Well, we're uh just..."
"..."
>"His er, WIFE, has come take him home, and we're just helping him get out to her car now."
"Nice one, Harry"
Remy smiles politely.
>"Oh, alright, then! Good luck, boys! By the way, Shane, you look pretty good in those new pants."
"Oh- oh, thanks! You too!"
"Shit!"
