For a week, Gansey was on fire. It wasn't the kind that Ronan liked -- the one that sparked out from his eyes and the curled corner of his lips -- it was more urgent. Numb.
For a week, Ronan laid unmoving. Things were changing. Things were dying. Gansey wished he hadn't seen it before, but if he hadn't he wouldn't know what to do.
He needed an amplifier. Check. Blue sat thrumming in his front seat, as anxious and scared as the rest of them. He needed an EMF detector, and he needed his watch. Check and check. There was one thing missing now. Not a thing at all, really. Having Henry by his side meant working as efficiently and cleanly as possible. He was distraught; there was a small margin for error and a large chance of the error itself. Gansey had spent the last week all but shaking. He was a man on a mission. Were his eyes not open, he'd seem to be in some kind of coma of his own.
He asked Henry to be waiting when he arrived and he was. The Pig sputtered up, stopped, and Gansey slammed it to life again. There was no time.
He reached back to unlock the door for Henry. He'd wanted him up front, but he couldn't well tell Blue to get in Driving Miss Daisy position until they picked his boyfriend up. Gansey was mad at himself for taking this time to think such a trivial thing. For all they knew, Ronan's time was running out.
"Get in," Gansey said through the open window. It didn't need to be said, and Gansey didn't like the way it sounded at all -- harsh and distracted. He apologized with a little twitch of his lips. Henry looked good. He wished he could find the brainpower to think about anything else but Ronan.
"We're going to Cabeswater," Gansey said once everyone was settled. "We have to find a way to save Ronan."
