Something dangerous is going down. Maybe your arch-nemesis has gotten the upper hand on your group of TrueCompanions. Maybe the dead have decided to rise. Maybe a disaster like a fire or a SuperPersistentPredator is coming your way. Whatever the reason, you need to beat a retreat posthaste. But there's a problem -- your traveling companion. Perhaps they're too furious at the threat to run. Perhaps they're [[HorrorStruck too petrified to move]]. Maybe they would run, but they're smaller or more injured and couldn't keep up with you. They may even be unconscious. So you do the only thing you can -- you grab them and carry them with you.

This can happen with any number of different characters -- a pair of {{Heterosexual|LifePartners}} or PlatonicLifePartners, a hero and their LoveInterest, an adult hero and a KidHero -- and involve any method of carrying. In cases where the "rescuee" wants to stay and fight, this might involve ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike. If the rescuee is simply asking too many questions, it might overlap with DontAskJustRun. Related to NoOneGetsLeftBehind. If the "danger" is the upcoming ground, it's probably CatchAFallingStar.

* ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': In Chapter 9, the initial plan to keep a noise and motion sensitive PlagueZombie from attacking a non-immune member of the group is to escort him to the group's vehicle while moving slowly and making as little noise as possible. When this turns out to not be enough to prevent an attack, the plan switches to simply getting the escortee to safety as fast a possible. The escortee ends up getting more or less dragged to the safe spot by one of his guards due to being distracted by the fact that he dropped the TeamPet he was holding during the attack.
