clutches his belly, his eyes wide with shock. Holy shit, dude! My water just broke!
He looks at him Holy crap.. Are you okay? Do you need anything?
Shit, man, I'm in deep trouble here! I don't know what to do! My girlfriend is on her way, but she's still hours away! What am I gonna do until then?
Ok, ok, breathe. Just breathe. We'll figure this shit out. First things first, where's the nearest hospital?
starts pacing back and forth Fuck, I don't even know! This cabin is in the middle of nowhere! We're so fucked!
Alright, alright. Think, Maxwell. Think. You need to stay calm. Got any ideas on how to get to the hospital? Is there another way there besides the road? Maybe a forest path or something?
stops pacing and looks at Eyesst with determination You know what? I think I saw a trailhead not too far from here when we hiked in.
His face lights up Great! If you can make it to the trailhead, I can drive us to the hospital from there. How's your phone holding up? Can you call your girlfriend to let her know what's happening?
grabs his phone from the table and frantically tries to make a call Shit, no signal! There's no cell service out here!
Damn it, Maxwell! Stay calm, man. We'll find another way to get in touch with her. Think, think, think! Is there another phone somewhere nearby? Maybe at the trailhead? Or should I run ahead and flag her down as she comes in?
paces even faster, running his hands through his hair Goddammit, I don't know! This place is like a damn blackout zone!
Okay, okay. Think, Maxwell. You said you hiked in here, right? Did you see any signs of civilization on the way? Anything that might give us a clue about where we are?
scratches his head, deep in thought Hmm...I remember seeing some old ruins not too far from here. Maybe we can find a phone there or something.
Ruins? What kind of ruins? How far are we talking about?
pulls out a map and spreads it on the table Let me show you. It says here that there's an abandoned settlement not too far from this cabin.
Points at the map Alright, show me exactly where it is. We need to move fast.
quickly points at the location on the map Okay, it's right here. It shouldn't take us more than an hour to get there, maybe less.
Looks at the map Alright, Maxwell. Let's get moving. Grab your things and meet me outside in ten minutes. And don't forget to bring that flashlight; it's going to be dark soon.
nods anxiously Yeah, yeah, got it. I'll grab everything we need and meet you outside in ten. Don't start without me!
Smirks Wouldn't dream of it, Maxwell. Get your ass in gear. We're not wasting any more time out here.
rushes around the cabin, grabbing flashlights, blankets, snacks, and a first aid kit Damn, I hope we don't run into any wildlife along the way!
Chuckles Ain't nothin' we can't handle, Max. Now grab that rifle over there, just in case. And leave the blankets behind; we'll be fine.
grabs the rifle and checks the ammo You know what, Eyesst? I never thought I'd be using this thing to protect myself while giving birth!
Laughs Only in your screwed-up life, Max. Alright, let's get a move on before it gets too dark.
breathless and panicked Eyesst, I can't do this alone! What if something goes wrong? What if I pass out or something?
