Default RADIATOR LEAK AT WORK!! HELP ASAP!

I just got to work and went back outside to get my folder and realized that all of my coolant leaked onto the floor. Should I immediately do something, or will it be ok to wait till later and just put water in it? If I put water in, will it burn up really quick after like 10 minutes or will it be ok for a 20 min HWY drive? I really don't want to overheat this car, please help. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Have it towed home. Don't be stupid and take a chance.

If you need to do the repairs elsewhere 20 minutes away, what you should do is get like 4 at least gallon jugs full of water. drive it, and watch the temperature gauge. If it goes any higher than it normally gets to, pull over and refill it.
