Mike is left with a stinging feeling on his rear and the shocked feeling of abandonment. He wasn't dead--no, he wasn't dead, Mike is assured once the knife is folded that he wouldn't die. Not by Billy.
Though part of him is unsure even as the other moves back to his car. He has pain, pain everywhere, most of it emotional he's feeling--physically, he's nearly numb. It feels like he's nearly numb, at least, though he knows that's not the case. He's probably bleeding, but he'll do an assessment later.
Right now, he watches stiffly from the ground as Billy gets into the car and drives away. He has the pills. That's all that matters, he tells himself. That's all that needs to matter. He takes one, though, dryswallowing it with ease. He still had the first one in his system, sure, but it was all too painful. Mike odesn't need an escape, he needs a temporary cure. Just until he gets his head back on straight.

For now, he walks.
