[ Joel grunts as he hefts Jesse into his arms, his teeth gritted under the kid's weight. As he stands tall, he shifts Jesse in his arms to make sure he's got a good grip on him.
This really wasn't what Joel signed up for when he first agreed to be Jesse's drug mule. Last thing he ever expected was to find himself having to carry Jesse in his arms not once but twice, with the kid bleeding everywhere. Probably about time he demanded a goddamn pay rise.
And Christ. Last thing he wants to do is tell this Schrader guy his name - but like Joel had said, nobody is a no-name in this place. It wouldn't take Schrader too much effort to find out who he is. ]
Joel. And one of the hospitals in-- [ a grunt as he shifts Jesse's weight in his arms again ] De Chima.
[ Joel doesn't know what any of those hospitals are called. Just knows there's a bunch of them there. And as much as Joel would really love to stand chatting with Schrader (i.e., no, he doesn't), he gladly takes the dismissal as an opportunity to get going.
Off he goes, hurrying pretty quickly down the street. Gotta get off the streets before they really do start attracting unwanted attention. He cuts off to the right and heads into a small alley that leads between buildings and past dumpsters, and it's when he's certain he's out of sight of Schrader that Joel growls a little breathlessly between clenched teeth: ]
