Madison had found Victor and brought him back. Reed, who Madison stabbed was now our prisoner, and I was just relaxing on the couch. Chris walked up to me and stood in front of me. I looked up at him
"Yes?" I asked
"All that stuff you said earlier, was it true?" He asked
"What? No, of course not. I was improvising! You know, I did theater in middle and high school. Top of my class. If only I had pulled the trigger. If only I hadn't debated it" I told him
"I shouldn't have hesitated either. We both screwed up" Chris said
"Yeah" I said
"I guess I should clean his wounds" Daniel said referring to the prisoner
"I'll come with" Chris said as he followed Daniel downstairs. I looked at Nick
"My sister.." He muttered
"She'll be okay, that Jack guy is pretty smitten with her. It's Travis you want to worry about" I said
"Jack?" Nick asked
"The guy Alicia was talking to on the radio. They took us hostage" I told him
"I can't believe it.." He muttered as he walked over to me. I had been bandaged earlier so my wound was fine. I then motioned for him to come closer, and he did so. I leaned up towards his ear
"I should've killed them right when they got onto the boat" I whispered before I got up and limped out. I limped downstairs to the room where Reed was being held captive. Daniel was cleaning his wound as Chris laid on the bed. I motioned for Chris to move to the other side of the bed, and he did. I then sat down on the bed
"Don't touch me. I'll clean up when I get home" Reed said
"Who says you're going home?" Daniel asked as the man panted
"Worried about what's gonna happen to your dad?" Reed asked Chris
"You don't need to talk to the boy" Daniel said
"So shut the fuck up" I said
"I'm fine" Chris said
"Guess it all depends on if you like your dad. Do you like your dad? He a good guy?" Reed asked
"Wait outside, Chris" Daniel said
"I said I'm fine" Chris said
"'Cause my dad, he was an asshole. You ever see what happens when you clip a man's Achilles? Whew. The whole thing just sucks right back up into the knee. Makes a sound like a firecracker when it let's go. That's what happened to my old man last time he laid his hands on me" Reed said
