Sanity: The Saw Chronicles [C]

Chapter 26 | Two

That night I didn't sleep. Ricky promised me he'd update me as soon as he could. Ryan should be fine but he was shot in a tricky spot. It was close to his spine. What if he ends up paralyzed? He probably wouldn't be too pissed if that was the case. Most of his work is done over a lab table or a desk. I just don't want to ever think of something so terrible happening to him. He's not the same kind of evil like us. Ryan is just a misunderstood scientist. It's not fair that the one time he leaves his lab, he gets shot.

Ricky text me the next morning, telling me that Ryan would survive. He just wasn't sure on his complete condition. Even the doctors didn't know just yet. According to Ricky, that is. We'll see how things turn out when I get there. I packed up all my things and Ryan's at the motel. It was eerie to have to pack his bags for him. I hated all of this. I'm thankful he's alive but that doesn't mean he'll be okay.

I put on dark velvet dress that stopped right below my ass. Combine it with some fishnets and some shiny new jewelry, Mike was bound to be all over me. I'm looking forward to it simply just to get my mind off of things. Of course I also want to connect with him again. I miss the way his voice sounds in my ear and how it feels to get fucked slowly by him.

When my flight landed, I was honestly surprised he wasn't waiting for me in the hanger. That's alright. I wanted to stop in the medical wing first to see Ryan. They brought him back here once he was stable. I'm sure Reese hasn't left his side. If only she knew that he was shot after fucking his ex that drove him crazy. I'm not going to say anything. It's none of my business.

Reese was sat by the window in his room. I knew she wouldn't be able to continue acting like she doesn't love him. Sometimes she tries to give him the cold shoulder but she just can't. She looked up at me when I walked in and mouthed to me "he's sleeping". I nodded and excused myself. I'll come back when he's awake. I've got to go see my demon anyways.

Walking towards his room, I felt like I was back in that dream. I closed my eyes and shook those thoughts away. It was so quiet. The others must've all been in their rooms or somewhere else. I knocked on his door but he didn't answer. Maybe he just didn't hear me. He doesn't care if I let myself in. Inside, it was cold. There were candles everywhere but they were all blown out. Rose petals were on the ground, just like in my nightmare.

Hesitantly, I followed them. My hands were actually shaking as I went to open the bathroom. It was just a dream. It's not going to come true in real life. I turned the handle, relieved when I didn't find any blood on the floor. Unfortunately I didn't find Kuza either. Where the Hell is he? I heard some shuffling near the door and quickly turned around. Chris was standing there with the most somber look on his face.

"I was hoping to catch you before you came here." He said. Chris walked in slowly, giving my that sympathetic look that you only give someone when you have bad news. "I need to tell you something."

"Is Mike okay?" I quickly asked. Sometimes dreams and nightmares do come true. I was utterly terrified of what could've happened.

Chris grabbed my hands in his, "He's... not dead or hurt. I wouldn't say okay though." He sighed, "Ricky waited until this morning to tell us about what happened to Ryan. He was surprisingly honest but of course we were all pissed. Him and Mike got into it about Ryan, which led to them fighting about you, and that caused fists to fly. We tried to break it up but Mike can be so... vicious. He bit Ricky on his wrist and it made him lose a lot of blood. It was the excuse he was looking for the lock Kuza up."

"He's back in ADX?"

"No. He's locked up in a cell here but they're taking him back to ADX in the morning. We've tried to convince Ricky to not do this but he won't listen to us. I'm so sorry, Devin." Chris seemed just as upset as I was.
