"Ricky!" JJ yells as we parks in his cousin's house "are you good?" Kie asks Pope "Ricky! Hey! Bro!" JJ aggressively knocks on door
"Ricky! Ricky! Hey, Ricky!" JJ walks towards his door and talks to him as we helps Pope gets out of the car and holds him helping him get to the door
"Don't do that!" I yells as Ricky closes the door "No! please! Please, we need help! He got stung by a wasp! He's having a reaction! Please help!" Sarah says
"Hey! Yeah, he- he can't breathe, Ricky!" JJ yells "Ricky!" John B says "come on man!" I yells before he reaches the door "look at him! Help my friend!" John B begs
"Alright, Jesus Christ" Ricky opens the door "hey! Nice to meet you. Sorry" Sarah apologies as she clears the table as we all were rushing into the house
"You know I wouldn't come to you if it wasn't an emergency. Hang in there buddy" JJ says "what is wrong with him?" Ricky asks "wasps" Sarah answers "wasps?" Ricky asks
"Yes!" Sarah says "is he allergic to wasps?" Ricky asks "clearly" Kie says "okay" Ricky says "Raise his legs!" JJ says "what's his name?" Ricky asks "Pope" we all says
"Hey, Pope? Hang tight" Ricky says "I gotta get my kit" he looks at us "hang tight? Ricky!" JJ says and I runs to his bathroom looking for a kit "you find it?" JJ asks me and shakes my head
"Where's the kit, Ricky?" JJ asks as we both rushes to Ricky "if I knew, I wouldn't be looking for it" he answers "goddamn it! well, then find it, bro!" JJ says
"What does it look like?" JJ asks as we all spread out and starts searching "like a duffel bag! A duffel bag!" Ricky says "where is your kit?" Kie yells
"Out in the garage, maybe" John B offers "Ricky! Ricky, is it the kit?" I asks as I finds a duffel bag "yes! Yes, that's it" he says before I hands him the kit
"Okay, we got it! We got it!" He says rushing to Pope "yeah, yeah" John B says "what do we do now!" JJ asks "you don't do anything, 'cause you're not a paramedic" Ricky says
"Okay. Hey, Pope. How you doing, man? You look like shit. This thing is a paediatric dose of epinephrine" Ricky says "is that gonna help enough?" Sarah asks
"He's not a kid!" Kie says "it is ten times a normal dose. So if... if it doesn't stop his heart, It'll help him, but I gotta use the whole thing or it won't work, and I am not going down if he dies" Ricky says
"Okay! Fine! Do it, hit in!" JJ says "Pope, hang in there, buddy" Ricky says as he inject the epinephrine into Popes arm "I hate needles, man" JJ groans
"Okay, um, that's it" Ricky says "now what?" Sarah asks "now we wait" Ricky answers "you killed him" Kie says "no" Ricky says "you did" Kie starts to freak out "I didn't" Ricky says
"What did you do?" Kie yells "I did exactly what you asked me to do" Ricky says "please, please! Pope, please, come on!" Kie begs
"Pope, come on, bro" JJ says before he gasps "wait, wait, wait he-" JJ says "Pope? Pope, pope, pope?" Kie says as Pope lifts his head and sits up "there he is, that's my boy right there!" JJ says
"Pope!" I says laughing "it's hot, it's real hot, guys" Pope says "take it easy" JJ says "I gotta get outside" Pope says "take a second" Kie says
