Murphy straightened as Alex leaned on him. He wasn't in such great shape himself, but at least he didn't look like he was ready to fall to the floor. Hell, he'd carry the kid if he had to.
"Maybe..." He hoped so. Thinking about it, trying to fight his way through the people here would only do more harm than good. He might not get to Annie to help her, and what more, he'd risk getting caught himself. Like he'd ever let that happen.
For now, Alex was his priority. Because Alex was here and this much Murphy could do for someone. God forbid that he tell the kid that, though. But Murphy couldn't do anything, for anybody since all of this shit started. He just ran and hid and then ran some more. Useless...
"Pretty sure it's just a few blocks from here, so... close." He cast Alex a brief look before he would start moving again. "If we get jumped, though, I'm not leavin' you behind, got that? Don't you dare suggest it."
