"Mama, I need to talk to you." Edilio Escobar bit his lip nervously. He knew where Roger was, or at least where he was being taken. He needed to hurry before Roger was taken elsewhere.
Roger thought Edilio, tears forming in his eyes, he was alive! Five days ago Edilio thought Roger had died and hadn't properly been able to grieve until the last two days, he had been too busy in the FAYZ. Of course, he hadn't only grieved for Roger, mainly but not only, The Breeze had also died, one of the most heroic deaths of the FAYZ. Fighting Gaia solo. Some may say she was being stupid, but Edilio knew she was doing what was necessary. All Edilio's soldiers had died but Roger had been gnawing away in the back of his mind since he'd supposedly died.
Edilio's mother sat down, "What's the matter Edilio?" Asked his mother noticing how sad he was. Edilio hadn't ,until a few seconds ago, planned on coming out to his parents ever, and he still didn't want to, especially to his father the big, macho, mexican who frowned upon gays and lesbians alike. His mother would probably say something along the lines of " Holy mother of god" but in perfect Spanish.
Edilio looked into his mothers eyes but couldn't bring himself to say anything. He had to tell his mother to get the the hospital Roger was in. Edilio had no other way of getting there apart from by his mother's car... His mother's car! Why hadn't he thought of it before?! In the FAYZ he drove most of the time before the fuel began to ran out. He realised his mother was waiting for an answer, concerned.
" I'm gonna go for a walk." He said quickly. Before she could respond he'd already run off. After a few seconds, he turned back around and took a loop around the caravan so he could get to her car. As soon as he'd got in the car he realised he didn't have the keys. He looked in the compartment in the passenger's side and sure enough the car keys were there next to a pack of Oreos, which he helped himself to. His silly madre hadn't learned. She left them there before the FAYZ too because she had said that it was the last place a thief would look. The notion was ridiculous but Edilio daren't argue with his mother.
He started the engine, after a few attempts, but it eventually worked. He was worried his mother would hear the noise but she was as deaf as a post.
He reversed slowly into the dirt path between the caravans that lead to the main road. He knew where the hospital Roger was in was, because he'd been kept in the same one for burns. Gaia had burned part of his chest while she was on the rampage. It wasn't severe but it hadn't completely healed over. Roger, however, had been severely burnt as Edilio had seen on the TV. He had been on a boat when it exploded and inches away from death. Edilio seeing Roger so hurt, hurt him.
He was an hour away from the hospital. In the FAYZ, if you travelled by car, you could be anywhere in half an hour but Edilio wasn't in the FAYZ anymore and the reality hit him hard; he was driving. And definitely didn't have a permit.
He crouched lower in his seat and, as if it wasn't enough, he put on some sunglasses from the compartment.
