"Colt! COLT," I yell. He's not responding.
I flip him over. My eyes tighten.
Marring his back are ugly, bleeding welts. I was already afraid when Kev put me down here, and I knew Colt was in danger when Kev took him out separately, but…
I can truthfully say that I didn't expect this. This… Kev is his father. Colt must have felt so betrayed. I can't even imagine.
Colt's shirt is ruined, cut up into shreds by the beating. I take what is left around the shoulders and rip it up into bandages. I don't have any water to clean the wounds with, but this should do… something.
"Neb…" he manages. My heart breaks.
"Shh. Rest," I say. There isn't much of a bed, just cloth (too hard to rip), so I fold it into a square roughly the size of Colt. It will have to do.
When we got here, Kev led us into the basement on the premise of having moved the TV into it. He then threw me down the stairs and brought Colt somewhere else. I am badly bruised from the 'fall'.
I wonder how long Kev's going to keep us here.
