A little challenge story I wrote for The Writer's Ranch.

Oh, and Happy New Year!

For Kouklitsa who wanted:

Characters: Kid&Lou
Setting : Lou's at the station and Kid just came back from a run. They just got back together.
Situation : Kid is injured but needs to get a very important message to someone, lives of many depend on it. He almost kills himself trying to keep a promise he made to the person that gave him the message to deliver.
Mood : Angsty.
Reference : (this is the *word*) Pain.
Required : Nobody can know Kid is wounded until he collapses from his injuries. Be creative on how he masks his pain from Lou and the rest.
