Jesse stood up and moved out of the way as the men moved in to move the woman to the back board to carry her to the van, and he wasted little time in getting a running start to hop into the back of the van himself. He had no way to ask them where they were taking her, so he seemed intent on riding along to find out.

As the van began to move he lay down to keep from getting knocked around by the turns and bumps in the roads.

He had never met this woman before, but it was always different when you were first on the scene. It made him feel responsible in some way, as if it would be his personal failure if she didn't make it. It was an illogical way of thinking, but he would feel better once she was out of the woods.
