"Okay," Mello said. His voice was level as he continued to process as many details as possible. "Don't panic and answer my questions. Did he cough up this blood or vomit it?" He indicated the trickle at the edge of the man's lips. If his lungs were flooding with blood, this was going to be nearly impossible, but if it was a matter of blood pressure there was a chance. For a second, he seemed caught in deep concentration, but he quickly realized there wasn't time for that.
"No. Fuck that. Just do everything I tell you to do and this'll be okay. Understand?" He glanced up to make sure the order was heard, but immediately returned to his task. "I'm going to stop the bleeding, figure out if the blood's in his lungs, and monitor his pulse. You're going to get him breathing again." There was far more confidence in the tone than the situation warranted. Mello pushed the blond man's head back a little more forcefully than he should have, but he was in a rush. "Pinch his nose shut and breath into his mouth twice." He didn't wait for the man's reaction...it couldn't be good. Instead, he put his head against the blond's chest to listen for the gurgling that would indicate blood in his lungs. One person couldn't do both, and he knew what to listen for better than the tall man did.
