Calvin had dropped off his first-aid kit with Susan’s gang and hopped back in the truck, glad to have some destination and goal…even if it was only a short term one. He huddled with the other students to help keep them all from sliding around the truck as it moved. They were half successful, but the movement that occurred was quickly fixed with a few quick hands and adrenaline assisted backs. The stop to the Mission Street safe-zone was a blessing for most of the kids, and he gladly helped them off the truck, especially the pretty girl he unknowingly saved earlier. As she gave him a shy wave good-bye, he sadly wondered if he’d see her again. With the movement of people, and evacuations that should be getting people out of the city soon, it might be a long shot.<br/><br/>He didn’t have any time to think about it more before the truck moved on. He almost rolled off, and was saved by some cargo netting in the back. As he slid his back to the cabin, he took in the pure mayhem of the moment. The city had become a warzone. They were leaving others behind who were on foot; some held their hands out for a ride, and others in obvious need of assistance. Calvin could do nothing for these people, and knew it, but that didn’t make the ache in his heart hurt any less. It only amplified a feeling of helplessness that was already welled up inside of him, threatening another emotional break.<br/><br/>He found himself staring at the bottom of the truck cabin and rocking back and forth as he hugged his legs against his chest. He figured he…went away again, because they were just about to pull into the Hospital safe-zone. Somehow, as he looked at the absolute chaos of white coats, blue police uniforms, and nurse outfits, he didn’t feel very safe. His hand absently went to the bat how holstered in his bag. He felt the wrapped grip done by one of the baseball team members and felt a little confidence come back to him. He can handle this, and he’s got stains on the bat to prove it.<br/><br/>He helped Tom carry Syeda to the hospital grounds, and followed coach through the maze of people. He saw the doctor approach and heard the questions, but he was at a loss<em>”I wasn’t there…I think she was bit…?”</em>He looked over at Tom for verification, and Tom shook his head quickly<em> “ No, no…”</em>He said, a little embarrassed to have to say this in front of Syeda<em>”I think she was raped…but I didn’t see it. I just saw her walking…”</em>. He couldn’t finish, looking at a place in the ground, as if wishing he could burrow there for a while. Calvin’s eyes widened before looking at Syeda, then frowned at the reality of it. ‘Are we really that fucked up?’, was his only thought as he held her.<br/>
