Ryan's P.O.V
"Hey" someone whispered. I opened my eyes slowly and saw uncle Will. I shivered when he pulled the blanket off of me. I don't know why, I'm always cold.

"It's time to go" he gave me a small smile. I looked down and realized I was dressed and the needle wasn't in my arm anymore. He picked me up gently and I saw the woman from before.

"That is Lisa, she will be with us for a few days" he whispers. I nodded then rested my head on his shoulder. Can I go back to sleep?

"The Doctor has already given me the medication and instructions" Lisa says holding up a bag.

"Good...so first stop?" Uncle Will asked

"Hair salon? He definitely needs a new cut" She says running her hand through my long hair.

I scratched my ear and felt something in it. When I took it out, uncle Will's voice became harder to hear.

"Oh, don't take that out" he put the thingy back in and I can hear again. "It's a hearing aid...don't worry it's only for a while"

A Few Hours Later...

"All done!"

I turned and looked in the mirror, I look...the same? I don't know...I haven't looked at myself in a long time. My hair is still black, I don't think it was like that before.

"Okay, lunch?" Lisa asks picking me up. I nodded then felt a sharp pain in my ear. My hands instantly went to cover my ear.

"Will, I think the hearing aids are hurting him" I heard Lisa say before all the sounds around me became faint. She took out the things in my ears and the pain went away.

"I'm telling you, that doctor is nuts. His hearing should come back by itself, he doesn't need this in his ear, especially if it hurts him" I heard Lisa like a whisper

I couldn't hear very clearly for the rest of the day but eventually Lisa put the thingys back in my ear. I took them off quickly when we got to the airport, I'm pretty sure it's called the airport. It was so loud, I can hear everything without the thingys.

"Flight 327, From Washington to Colorado will now be boarding. Please have your ticket and passport ready" I heard faintly. People around me started getting up, one lady bumped my arm really hard. She mumbled something but I don't think it was nice...

"Okay buddy, you ready?" Uncle Will picked me up gently. I tilted my head slightly, ready for what? "You don't have to answer" he smiled. I nodded and looked at Lisa. She smiled at me sweetly and poked my nose.

"These are first class tickets! How did you get them?" I heard Uncle Will talking to Lisa.

"Work perks" she shrugged

"Guess I know where my tax money goes to now" he mumbled

"Whatever, you can take the first class seats or suffer in the economics" Lisa says taking me from Uncle Wills arms. "But this ones going to first class, one way or the other"

"Guess I'll have to suffer through the comfort of the first class" he chuckled

Lisa stuck her tongue out at him like Wyland does to Wocky. Hm...

An Hour Later...

I woke up at the sound of something, a woman was talking, I can barely make out what she's saying but I think she said, "We will be landing in Colorado in an hour, thank you and have a good flight"

I looked around me. There was a TV in front of me, the seat feels like a bed. I have a soft blankey and pillow. Uncle Will and Lisa sat across from each other, they were talking but I couldn't hear them.

I didn't wake up from the woman talking...I had a bad dream. I'm scared it's real...that mama didn't want me anymore. That they never wanted me and lied to me. I don't know if I want to see them, if I do then I will know if it's true...but if I don't I will never know...I'm so confused, I don't know what to do.

A loud sound made me jump. A lady was pushing a cart and bumped into the wall. Loud sounds scare me...like he did. I still see him in my dreams, I still feel what he did to me. I'm scared he will do it again, like the first time. Tears rolled off my cheeks and I wiped them away but it didn't stop. I didn't make a sound, I can't and I won't. I never made a sound when I cry, I don't know when I stopped making sounds when I cry...it was a long time ago.

"Ladies and Gentleman, please buckle in your seat belts and put up your tray tables. We are starting our descent into Denver, Colorado. Thank you for flying with Kiwanis Airlines and we wish you a nice trip"

Colorado? I've heard that somewhere. Mama always talking about Colorado...I can't remember what. I looked at Uncle Will, he was still talking to Lisa. His eye brows are knotted like when Dada reads the newspaper. Is something wrong?

2 Hours Later...

"Okay here you go" Lisa says putting a very heavy jacket on me. She then put big pants and boots on me too. Well the boot was only for my right leg. In a few minutes, I felt really warm. We are in a car, Uncle Will is sleeping while someone I don't know is driving. Lisa is holding me on her lap. She hugged me tightly and put a beanie on my head. Are we going somewhere cold? Mama has never dressed me so warm.

Lisa's P.O.V
Just one more day left, one more day until he goes back to his family. On the plane, I spoke to William about possible jobs for him. He seemed interested which is great. Finding Ryan was all he had on his mind for the past year, now that his mission is coming to an end. I'm determined to get him back on track to having a job, a place to live and hopefully, a family of his own one day. I know I'm planning way too far for an ex-criminal. It's the least I can do since the reason he went to jail was because of our relationship. It's complicated but the truth is...I never lost feelings for him. Each moment I am with him, I feel something, something I haven't felt in a long time. Maybe after things are over, we can try again.

I looked over at him, peacefully asleep. His arms crossed, his head resting on the bag. He looks so relaxed, more than he has in the past year. The whole Sherlock look actually kinda works for him.

Ryan sat on my lap, I dressed him up as we approached our destination. It's going to be freezing there and Ryan needs to stay warm. Poor baby has been through so much, it's time to make him happy again. I've also made it my personal agenda that Viktor will never leave prison. Ryan Lynch will be safe, mark my word.
