"April?" Caden squints into the foreboding black and rushes for her when he spots her, catching sight of something out of the corner of his eye. She's hurt and he's half-naked in front of her. Again.

"We've got to stop meeting like this." He gestures at his bare chest and laughs a little, reaching out to touch her shoulder reassuringly. Something else rushes past them and Caden swallows hard, sliding a hand under her shoulders and the backs of her knees. "Now, I know you're no damsel, but we need to get inside quick, okay?"

He stands up, picking her up easily and cradling her against his chest as he heads for his house. The moon glints off of the big glass windows of Coop's place, and it lets him know that he's going in the right direction. The deck is rough under his bare feet and he lifts his knee to push up the door handle, muscles flexing from the exertion. They get inside and Caden leans back against the door to shut it, sighing in relief.
