You try to keep your voice calm and level. “Are you dying?” Eliot doesn’t reply. “Eliot! Did you get shot?”
“Yes.”
“You're dying?”
“I got shot. I'm not dead. Yet.”

Also, take over the wheel and tell him to clot that wound with his shirt. Even if he's definitely gonna die, you gotta do something.

“We have to... you need to... give me...”
“If you say something stupid, I’m going to pop you in your fucking mouth.”
“Eliot,” you say. “Eliot.”
“I told you to shoot that guy.”
“I’m sorry. I tried. I’m sorry.” Outside Eliot’s window, the dust plume resolves into a police squad car. “What can I do?”
“You hesitated. Next time you have to choose between Farmer Joe and the fate of the world, you can put a bullet into Farmer Joe. That’s what you can do.”
“Okay.”
“You can kill Woolf. Can you do that?”
“Yes.”
“Yeah,” Eliot says. “Sure you can.”
The cop car rises in the side window. A sign ahead says BARRIER HIGHWAY and STOP and clearly you're going to hit that cop car, you observe. “Slow down,” you say, but Eliot doesn’t. Instead he drops the hand brake and spins the wheel and the Valiant begins to slide sideways. It crosses the highway, passing in front of the cop car, chews dirt for a while, and lurches onto the blacktop. Behind you, a siren begins to wail.
“Find out if that cop is a prose,” Eliot said.
“A what?”
“A proselyte. Compromised. Find out if he wants to arrest us or kill us.”
“How do I do that?”

Poor Eliot!
Eliot pushes the shotgun into you. “How do you think? With the gun!”
