IC-The Long Journey Home(Sean Blank only)
Z-Day - 10:14 AM Central Time - In the helicopter, northwest of Brownson
At the landing site-
Try as he might, Sean could not free his knife. As the adrenaline from the life or death struggle began to fade, the pain wracked his body. He didn't see how he could live for hours this way, but he had the strength to keep going for now. The helicopter was now several hundred feet above and began to bank to the east, taking Brigetta to safety...he hoped. But had they managed to load enough fuel into the tank first to get all the way to Omaha?

Re: IC-The Long Journey Home(Sean Blank only)
Sean takes a deep breath and considers his options. He's dead; he has no hope for a miracle cure, especially without Brigetta. But he was fairly strong. And he was injured. Chances were good if he could patch up a few of these wounds he'd be in better shape to head back to the truck stop, and maybe it would delay the inevitable. So he gets to work.

At the landing site-
The helicopter sped off to the east, leaving Sean far behind. He knew he would never see Brigetta again, but at least he knew she was safe. He started by treating the worst of his wounds, the horrendous bite on his leg. Tying his belt as a tourniquet around his thigh stopped the bleeding and made him feel a little better, but not much. Still, he knew it would delay his inevitable demise and buy him some more time.

Re: IC-The Long Journey Home(Sean Blank only)
Every little bit helped-- especially when Sean felt somewhat better after stopping the bleeding in his leg wound. He attempts to treat another.

The helicopter was now gone from view. Sean bandaged his crushed ribs as best he could, tearing his shirt into strips to make bandages. It wasn't much, but it was something.

Re: IC-The Long Journey Home(Sean Blank only)
There was nothing to do but keep at it. Every injury he treated lessened the pain he was in, allowing him to focus on making it to the truck stop and seeing Jim again. Then he could focus on killing as many of the zombies as he could before his own wounds caught up to him.
He turns his attention to the next wound.

Sean's fingers fumbled as he tried to patch up the bite on his arm. He managed to stop the bleeding with another tourniquet, but he didn't feel any better. If anything, he was weakening, which may have been why his first aid was less effective.

Stay focused. Keep calm. Sean patches up his last wound, hoping he does a better job.

Sean didn't have any better luck with the minor bite on his side, as the tips of his fingers were starting to go numb.

Re: IC-The Long Journey Home(Sean Blank only)
Taking a deep breath, Sean tries one more time to wrench his knife free. It was a good one, and if he could not make use of it maybe someone else could.

At the landing site-
The knife was stuck in there pretty deep, and those numb fingertips weren't making it any easier. Sean might be able to dislodge it eventually, but how much longer did he have?

Re: IC-The Long Journey Home(Sean Blank only)
Sean is stubborn. It occurs to him that maybe he wanted to get this damn knife out so badly because it's the only control he had left over his life. Whatever the reason, he tries again.

It took a while, but eventually Sean managed to wrench the knife free. It was covered in blood and viscera, but taking additional time to clean it beyond a quick wipe seemed like too much. His life might be measured in hours, or even minutes, and every second was precious.

Re: IC-The Long Journey Home(Sean Blank only)
Sean wrenches the knife free and actually breaks down crying. Then he laughs at how stupid this all is that he placed so much importance in getting back his knife. But it had been good to him; it had saved his life, or at least extended it for a bit. And you never left a comrade behind.
He's not feeling all that lucky, but one never knew. He gets to his feet unsteadily and plots out his next move.

At the landing site-
Sean was relieved that no more of the infected had entered the area while he was busy patching himself up and retrieving his knife. The road went north and south, and he knew that the truck stop was somewhere to the southwest of here. He had come this way from the south, and that road led to Route 30 and I-80, either of which would get him back to the truck stop. The broken down police cruiser was also about a mile to the south. He wasn't much of a mechanic, but perhaps he could get it running again, at least for long enough to get him back. It would be much faster driving back than it would on foot, that was for certain. He wasn't sure he could last long enough to get back otherwise.

Sean takes a deep breath. Drawing on all the energy he can, he begins jogging back towards the police car. Hopefully he could fix it.
Re: IC-The Long Journey Home(Sean Blank only)

On the road-
Sean began jogging back along the road to the south. At his maximum speed, he would reach the police car in about nine minutes.

Sean keeps moving, trying to think of nothing but the run and the mission.
