wip wednesday update: syb has finally found pain meds

A pained grunt is forced from her lungs as she climbs into the cab. She settles in the front seat, exclaiming when Boomer launches himself off the ground and onto her lap before hopping to the passenger side. Her teeth grind together as she rides out the pain and once the worst of it has subsided, she twists around to reach into the backseat. 

Tucked under the seats, she finds her go-bag, right where she stashed it. It’s been a mainstay in her vehicles ever since she was old enough to drive, and something she’d kept hidden ever since she was fourteen. For as much effort as the Peggies went vandalizing the exterior of her truck, they did fuckall with its interior. 

Their mistake. 

Dragging the duffel bag back with her to the front seat, she places it on her lap and unzips it. Extra sets of clothes. A still-packaged toothbrush and travel-sized tube of toothpaste. Deodorant. Spare ammo -- Aha!

Her lips quirk up as her hand wraps around a bottle of generic-brand acetaminophen. “Bingo,” she breathes. Uncapping the bottle, she pours a handful of pills into her palm and swallows them dry.
