Part 8, Chapter 36 Summary

Maddy drops to the ground. Red screams while Reyna and Arthur cry. Oliver remains silent. Red screams again but then realizes that Maddy is also screaming and alive. Red volunteers to get her and races down, leaving the RV, jumping over Don’s body, and dropping to Maddy’s side. Red reassures Maddy that Reyna can help her since she’s studying medicine but tells Maddy that it will hurt to get her back in the RV. Pulling Maddy up by her armpits, Red drags her to the RV, Maddy screaming in pain. Maddy asks Red to stop, but Red tells her she can’t. She realizes that Maddy is losing a lot of blood. Arthur comes out to help carry Maddy inside. Reyna tends to Maddy, and Simon closes the door.

Reyna presses on the wound, making Maddy scream again. Oliver attacks Red, asking how the sniper knew it wasn’t her outside. Reyna asks Oliver to stop and asks if anyone has a belt. Simon offers his, and Reyna makes a tourniquet for Maddy while he presses on the wound to slow down the bleeding. Reyna tells Oliver that Maddy needs a hospital, and Oliver shakes his head, not sure what to do.
