Every step was as painful as the first. Carson was now making his way over to Rodney. On the way he found his pack, it was battered and torn but still had all he needed in case Rodney was injured, which he guessed he was.
Finally Beckett was kneeling down beside his friend. Blood ran down the side of his face from a nasty looking gash above his left eye. Carson felt his wrist and was relived to find a pulse. He pulled a small rag out of his pack and placed it over the gash, trying to stop the bleeding. He was somewhat relived when Rodney groaned and his eyes fluttered open.
"Rodney?" Carson asked still holding the rag in place.
"What..?"
"Take it easy we both had a pretty bad fall, how do ya feel lad?"
Rodney side and said "Like shit." Beckett smiled and asked. "Do ya know were ya are?"
Rodney stared at him for a moment then said "P3X-576 I was looking for the power source and you were...what were you doing?"Rodney asked, he rarely cared what the scot did but he did ask.
Beckett glared at him and said "I really don't think that matters right now, do ya remember anything else, like why your lying hear?"
Rodney thought for a moment then remembered the carnivore, his eyes widened and Carson could only guess that he remembered the creature.
"Ya remember now do ya?"
Rodney nodded.
"Well don't worry I think we lost it when we fell."
Beckett removed his hand and said."Can ya hold that there?"He removed his hand from the cloth and watched as Rodney lifted a shaky hand and was now holding the cloth in place.Carson then turned and went through his bag again, looking for a bandage.
"What happened to the others?" he heard Rodney ask as he poled a bandage and some antiseptic out of his bag.
"We got separated when that thing hit me and I ran into you."
He took the cloth back and glared at Rodney when he said."Ah...so is your fault?"
"This is going to sting."Beckett said placing the cloth-now covered in antiseptic-over the gash.
"Ow!"Mckay cried.
"Don't be such a baby."Carson said holding the cloth in place with one hand and turning to grab the bandage with the other.
"Hey your bleeding."Rodney said sort of jerking back.
Carson, surprised at the sudden movement, jerked his hand back sending a wave of pain up his arm.
"Ya I know."Carson said holding his bloody arm.
Rodney, now propped up on his elbows had his eyes closed now feeling the pain and dizziness caused by the sudden movement He opened his eyes as he felt a bandage being put over the gash on his head.
"Take it easy Rodney you more then likely have a concussion."
Carson looked at him fora moment then said "Any thing else hurt?"
"Ya I think I broke my ankle when I fell."
"Which one?" Carson asked moving down towards his ankles.
"Right."
Carson carefully lifted his foot and moved it a little.
"OW! Hey don do that!"Mckay cried his face contorted in pain
."Your right ya did brake it I'm... going to have to set it."
Carson said feeling bad about having to put his friend through more pain.
"Do it."Mckay said determinedly.
