Isaac first figures out that people are looking for him when he hears soft footsteps coming downstairs, softer than the footsteps he's used to and for a moment, he hopes for rescue.
But the door opens, splaying the light around the room and blinding him.
He shrivels backwards as far as the chains will allow him as he whimpers, much like an injured dog.
That's when he hears a voice that's so agonisingly familiar to him, "Lahey? What the hell is going on?"
Jackson's voice rings with the confusion Isaac first held when he woke up here but Isaac doesn't know how to answer that.
He recalls the lashes to his back and front, the needles jabbing into his body and all of the countless other horrendous things they have done to him.
He glances up at Jackson, tearing up at the light -or maybe at the thought of finally getting help and sending it away so he does not get caught and hurt as well- and slurs out, voice sounding raspier than usual. "Run."
Jackson has always been self-preservated so Isaac isn't surprised when he turns for the door but he is surprised at what Jackson said before then,
"I'll come back for you, with more people, more help. I promise."
So maybe an asshole can change their stripes- or whatever that expression is, Isaac thinks dully.
But when Jackson turns to the door, the thing that Isaac was the most scared of happens.
He is lingering there.
