[color=gray]The next couple of minutes were spent in silence. 

Outside the nearly black car, the neon glow of New Lilith went by in a blur as Glitch weaved the vehicle in and out of traffic, taking the three Mavericks and their passenger towards Little Santiago clinic that they had always used for situations such as this. From the driver's seat, Chuck watched the girl in the back, her eyes wide and terrified, Thomas slumped over on the backseat beside her. In the front of the car, Makarios stared ahead, words weren't needed between Maki and Chuck, they knew exactly what needed to happen. 

Save Thomas.

Leaving the Lower East Side behind, the car entered into a new borough of New Lilith as the crumbling architecture faded away, faces of brick and wood siding replaced with stucco walls outside of Baroque and Colonial exteriors. Little Santiago was one of the most colourful districts in New Lilith. Rich in culture, it had seemingly escaped gentrification and managed to retain its identity despite originally being considered a poor district. 

It was also home to Sanctuary, a clinic run out of an abandoned church that didn't ask questions or for insurance. Chuck had discovered the first night he was shot and it became the Maverick's go-to patch shop. Throughout university, Chuck had volunteered at Sanctuary, working pro-bono and honing his medical knowledge and skills, going on to patch the Mavericks up himself. It also helped that Sanctuary shared a wall with Tortuga, a dingy hole in the wall bar built out of the remains of the church's manse. 

It was home to some of the best Jerk Chicken on the entire East Coast.

[color=steelblue]"We're here,"[/color] Chuck stated, breaking the long silence before looking through the windshield for any signs of life while Glitch pulled the car around back into their usual spot. He cradled his broken wrist against his torso, wincing before turning toward Makarios. Looking back at their two passengers, Chuck continued to speak.
