Mike finally did find a place that he would be able to take shelter in for the night. It wasn't ideal and it didn't exactly protect him from the cold, but it would have to do.
It was located underneath an underpass where there didn't seem to be any humans around. It gave him a chance to breathe for a few minutes as it didn't seem like there were any people around.
His nose didn't pick up on any scents that alarmed him either. It actually smelled rather fresh with the water that was running through the underpass. It seemed clean enough that he was even able to get a drink.
If it hadn't been so cold, he would have even thought about taking a soak and trying to wash away the blood in order to tell how bad his injuries were. With the chill however, he was afraid that doing something like that might result in him getting sick.
