"Well, Rico, you want to rest here for a while longer?"
Rico felt a burst of second wind course through him, slowly normalizing his burning legs. He stretched. "I think I will, doc. Just let me have a glass of water. I wanna see the people here get through this safely. I'll fight anyone who attacks this clinic."
Rico's voice dropped in volume a bit. "Doc... I think we're the last place to get medical help in this area. The hospital's got a crazy witchdoctor in it, last I checked. Something about the pleasing of Loa or some other such junk. I have a nasty feeling that he's controlling the place now. For all we know, he might straight up attack us."
...
Rico leaned against the front door of the clinic, looking out. The last of the minor injuries were being treated now that Doc Caldwell had rested. It still looked horrific and gross, but he had to learn to stomach it, at least until these crazy days were over.
He turned and saw the woman he'd carried to the clinic. She didn't say anything. She just looked at him with a minor sense of awe barely covered by a stiff upper lip expression. Rico moved past her to see how the man with the now-fixed broken ribs was doing.
