Summary: Yves needs help and Jimmy reaches out to her.
(Frickin' Shippy Muse.)

Yves was not happy. For what wasn't the first
time, the Gunmen had disrupted her work again. Yves
could understand not being able to do her job when she
was simply trying to piggyback off them and claim
credit for their work, even it her investors couldn't.
But them disrupting her work! Yves all ready blamed
them for the death of one man, but now they had
consistently butted in and this time it all most killed
her. Yves prayed to whatever deities them might exist
that whatever had been in the dart that grazed her arm
had been low enough in its dosage to keep from harming her.
As she neared her car in the three story parking garage,
her highly trained instincts kicked in and alerted her to
the sound of someone running behind her. Yves turned
around to see Jimmy Bond running to catch up with her.
Jimmy slowed down only after he almost ran headlong into
a parked car. Jimmy was now within earshot of Yves.
He began to shout,
"Yves, wait! They didn't know, they, we, wanted to
help you." Yves turned away from him. She had enough
of Jimmy and his excuses. Yves was two steps away from
her car when Jimmy grabbed her arm and spun her to face
him. Apparently he was a faster runner than she thought.
Much faster.
"I saw the dart graze your arm. We need to get you to
a hospital." So he had seen.
"I feel fine. I know how to take care of myself and I
will be fine." Yves tried to pull her arm away, but Jimmy
held on tightly and pulled her closer.
"I'm not going to let go. We're taking you to the
hospital." Yves opened her mouth to protest, but found
that she could not form coherent words. Instead, gibberish
came out: "Leratvhe mae almonfte, Jimbmrsy!" Jimmy looked
at her strangely.
"Yves, what are trying to say?" Yves eyes rolled back
in her head and she began to convulse rapidly. "Yves?
Yves!" Yves collapsed in his arms. "Yves?" Jimmy asked
softly. Jimmy reached up and stroked her hair. Jimmy took
out his cell phone and called up the guys. "Guys, Yves
collapsed! I think we need to get her to the hospital, quick!"
