[He heard the ping a couple minutes before he answered it, having stopped to wash the grease off his hands first. He and BB-8 had been fooling around with the junk car he'd gotten, seeing if they could fix it up a bit. So by the time he got the text, a couple minutes had passed -

And his heart fell through his feet.

That was not a text sent randomly. That only meant one thing. Bodhi was in trouble. Poe immediately sprinted to the door, grabbing his carpet as BB-8 whistled a worried tone behind him.]

Sorry bud, no time. You gotta stay here. I'll explain when I'm back. [And then he was in the air, racing forward while he hurriedly dialled Bodhi on his phone.

Pick up, pick up...]

[onlydoubts]

[ He keeps his phone in hand, while he waits - hoping Poe had seen his message. Bodhi probably could have called Kay as well, or instead of - but Poe had been the first person to come to mind and he couldn't quite muster the energy to raise his arm, or dial a second time.

The ring of the phone is what brings him back out of the haze, he swallows and hits the speaker button after a few seconds of fumbling. ]

'm here.

[flightforfreedom]

[He felt his heart restart. Not dead, not kidnapped. The worst case scenarios were already knocked off the list. His pace slowing a fraction so he could talk properly.]

Gave me a heart attack, bud. You okay?

I'm on my way - what'd'you need?

[onlydoubts]

[ Bodhi breathes a careful sigh to hear Poe's voice. His own is quiet, slightly hitching with pain. ]

Um. Not really.

[ He looks down at himself again. At the blood gushing out from between his fingers. ]

I was mugged. N-not doing so great, honestly.

[flightforfreedom]

What do you mean you were mugged? [A note of worry, and there's suddenly a much more quick rushing of wind. He was definitely going faster.]

Are you okay? Are you hurt? Do I need to call an ambulance - -

[onlydoubts]

Um.... [ a pause, some shifting and a groan. Obviously not well. ] Mugged. Took my wallet. Gonna feel... pretty stupid when they see how much was in it.

No, forget the ambulance. [ He hadn't even thought to call them, his mistake perhaps but he could only think of not wanting to be alone for this. Not again. ] Just hurry.

[flightforfreedom]

I'm hurrying.

[And he really was, which was audible. He can barely be heard over the sound of the wind.]

Just hang on, there, bud--
