I know tiny, tiny chapter, but a small update is better that none at all, right? Anyway, hope you like. XOXOX

When Logan pulled into the motel it was past midnight, and it was damn cold. Logan supposed that wasn't too surprising, it being the middle of winter and all. Shaking off the sudden chill he strode towards the run down little office.
Maddy woke slowly, aware suddenly of being carried. She tried to struggle, but her wounds, and the cold had slowed her reflexes and sapped her strength.
"Nice to see you're awake kid."
Maddy tried to sit up, turn her head, anything but even that small task was beyond her now.
"Wha-." She tried again "What are you doing?"
"Well, I've just got us a room, its only got one bed, so I guess I'll sleep on the couch, and I'm going strip you down, house you down if need be." Maddy supposed the infection had caused and odor, or perhaps it was simply his nose. "And I'm gunna fix you up, so you don't die."
"Fool. You should have dumped us when you had the chance. They'll kill you for sure," They gasped for breath "For sure now. Why… so stupid?" there was an angry buzzing in her head
"Lets just say I know some people who would be a mite put out if I left ya. Or let you die for that matter."
"Stupid civilian. Leave us."
"Can't do that kid." Maddy sighed in exasperation, or tried to. They had reached the room and Logan pushed the door open with his booted foot, bolting it once inside and then laying her gently on the bed. Through a haze of pain Maddy heard the opening and closing of a door and water running.
"Logan," Maddy tried to call out, her voice barley rose above a whisper. She tried again "Logan." It was slightly louder this time. Once more should do it "L-"
"I'm here." Maddy what little breath they'd had out in a rush. Her head swam. "Are you still committed to this unwise course of action?"
"Yep."
"Fool. Regardless, beware. Touch not my hands, my head covering, and do not remove the glasses." Logan looked down at the shaking girl, chilled, but resolute.
"Anything else I should know before we start?" Maddy gave a chocked laugh
"Yes," They gasped, "You should have left me to die."
