Driver Took Sick

On the way to the hotel, Danielle looks over at Martin.. She could see he fell right back to sleep. She noticed that he looked rather pale.. But that might be from the moonlight. While looking straight ahead,she took her free hand and placed it against his forehead. His flesh was hot to the touch and clammy. “Damn” she said aloud. No wonder he passed out behind the wheel.. Hes burnin’ up.

Before they reach the hotel, Danielle drives to a gas station for some bottled water and some asprin. When she reaches the gas station, The bright lights woke Martin up. “Hon how do you feel?” “Like crap..I’m sore all over and weak” He admitted. “Babe, your burning up. I am gonna go get you some water and some pills.. ok”. “Thanks hon” He said as he kissed her cheek. “Make sure its cold ok?” was his final request. “Will do” was her response as she closed the door.

She returned moments later with an ice cold bottle of deer park and some advil. She handed the water and advil to Martin. “Thanks” He said.
