Solomon was speeding and he didn’t give a fuck. Adam sat next to him, expression hardened but unable to hide the sheer worry and panic in his eyes. The silence was drowned out by only the roar of the engine and the sound of his own heavy breathing. His hands were white where he was gripping the steering wheel too tightly, but he didn’t care. He just needed to get to the hospital now.

Edwin’s phone call had shaken his entire world, and he couldn’t begin to justify the sickening nausea he felt at Daveth’s pain. Edwin’s voice had been so distant, and he could hear the little tremors and shaky breath as he spoke that betrayed his own panic. And there been some mention about how only Emerson was now left at the shelter and they were going to get in shit, but Solomon didn’t care about that either.

Right now, he didn’t care about anything other than Daveth and getting to him as soon as was humanly possible.

He barely even registered the hospital building growing up into the cityscape in front of him, and it was only instinct that made him slow down and pull into the overpriced parking lot, and he didn’t care about how much it was going to cost to stay here. He got out of the car, breathing like he had run here and realizing blankly that he had forgotten to wear his seatbelt.

Adam shuffled next to him, worrying his lip between his teeth as he stared up at the hospital with something almost akin to fear. Solomon pressed his hand against Adam’s back and gently led him towards the hospital before making their way to the reception. And then there had been shouting, mostly on his part, because they had no information and they wouldn’t let him see him, and now they were asking him about Daveth’s insurance, and he just didn’t fucking care, he wanted to see Daveth. He wanted to make sure the kid was alright.

His tirade only stopped when he felt a familiar arm wrap around his shoulder and Edwin whisper something calming into his ear. He huffed, glowering at the reception lady, but still let himself lean into Edwin’s side and be led back towards the waiting area. Adam followed stiffly behind him.

“What the hell is going on?” Adam snapped, before Solomon had the chance. Roy brushed a gentle hand up and down his arm, where he was sat quietly as though in shock. Edwin sighed, brushing a hand through his hair but it wasn’t him that replied.

“He was attacked by a gang.” It was the Rover that answered. He wasn’t wearing his mask, and he looked younger somehow, with his rucksack on his lap and his arms hugged around it.

“I thought you said you didn’t know where he was!” Adam yelled, turning a few heads. Edwin raised a hand in warning, gesturing for Adam to sit down next to Roy.

“I went looking after you came to me,” the Rover replied slowly.
